From KCRW Santa Monica and KCRW.com, this is The Treatment.

Welcome to the treatment.

There are some people I consider to be friends of the show, and one of these friends hasn't been here in a long time.

He's gone off and become way too successful for this show in the interim.

Eli Roth, who was probably last year with Hosto 2, he starred in Inglorious Bastards since then.

And is now starring, producing, and writing the movie after Shock. And he's finally deigned to come back here and see me good to see you

it is nice to be back here i think that i haven't been here in six years because i haven't really

directed a movie in six years i sort of did everything around directing a film in fact some people

family members included have accused me of avoiding directing via producing, writing, acting.

And you didn't direct this, by the way.

This one I did not.

But Nicolas Lopez, I was a big fan of his Spanish-language movies,

and we wanted to write a film that would be a crossover movie.

He's kind of the teenage Bob Clark of Chile.

That's a very good way of putting it, and he would take that as a huge compliment.

Yeah, no, it was amazing.

Nico's an interesting character.

He dropped out of school when he was 14 or 15.

He was writing for the main paper in Santiago when he was like 12 and reporting on his

teachers.

It's basically like writing for the New York Times of what was going on in your high school.

And he was getting teachers in trouble.
