Summary

Ego Fest XV cracks open The Projection Booth once again as Mike faces a barrage of listener questions from the devoted and the deranged. From the mysteries of the long-teased 2001: A Space Odyssey episode to favorite decades of filmmaking and the highs and lows of a year’s worth of interviews, nothing’s off the table. Mike talks shop on balancing multiple podcasts, favorite co-hosts, and whether a Dabney Coleman series might lurk in the future. Fans ask about Elliot Gould, Malcolm McDowell, the Weirding Way family, Kurt Cobain, and even Mike’s clarinet. It’s a revealing, and deeply personal episode that proves—once again—that the man behind the mic never stops creating, curating, or caffeinating.

Big thanks to Dallas Norvell, Captain Billy, Robert Maines, and Ben Buckingham for the thoughtful questions. Also big thanks to all of the listeners who provided such insightful reviews.
