Scorsese's greatest movie? Our greatest episode? You be the judge!

Scorsese's greatest movie? Our greatest episode? You be the judge!

Ever see any of those films, ... or POSEIDON, SMALL SOLDIERS, HOCUS POCUS, NEWSIES, PAYCHECK, THE FLINTSTONES or HOTEL FOR DOGS? Whew - helluva career! Well, all of their sets - those created cinematic worlds and many more - were imagined and designed by the legendary William Sandell. And we’ve got him! So, sit back, crack one open, light ‘em if you got ‘em, open a steno pad and take some notes ... or whatever it is you do. Because Sandell’s taking us on a trip, both chill and informative as all hell at the same time, through behind-the-scenes Hollywood history - from his early days as a set dresser on films like MEAN STREETS, TRUCK TURNER, BLACK BELT JONES and Roger Corman’s BIG BAD MAMMA, to world creator on later day modern faves which have actually become traveling art museum staples like HOCUS POCUS. Prepare to have your movie mind blown.
