“Insane” doesn’t even begin to describe the 1998 black-comedy <a href='https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0124198/'>Very Bad Things</a>. Violent deaths, unlikable characters, and bizarre music choices are just some of the factors that make this film a truly “seeing is believing” situation - and not in a good way. Guest Sam Weisberg joins us to try to understand just what happened, as well as why wedding rehearsal dinners are a scam, the timeline of Jeremy Piven’s hairline, forced adoptions, and a ton more. You should also check out Sam’s website <a href='http://www.hidden-films.com'>Hidden Films</a>. Very Bad Things stars Jeremy Piven, Daniel Stern, Cameron Diaz, Jon Favreau, Jeanne Tripplehorn, and Christian Slater. Directed by Peter Berg.
