In our latest edition of bobbing for Patreon episodes, we happen upon Craig Brewer our first real flirtation with the more mainstream side of cinema.

Rob is joined by Graham (Pop Screen) and Andrew (Behold) to talk about his 2005 hip hop breakout, Hustle and Flow. Following that up is his true breakout and a film that is “Netflix’s best original”, 2019’s Dolemite is my Name.

Together we talk about things as diverse as Movie Marketing, Moon Knight, Dennis Hopper and Shudder Originals.
