Josh Fadem and Raygun Busch were unavailable so friends of the show Garrett Claxton and Ray Busler filled in along with their rich friend Chip, for another episode of THE TAPE PILE.TAPE PILE 3:In this episode, Gare and Ray discuss the rare tape The Emerald Forest, and the recurring themes in the films of John Boorman; After Dark, My Sweet, 90s desert Neo-noir, and the adaptations of Jim Thompson's writing; and the audacity of Michael Ritchie's panned present day pirate Michael Caine starrer, The Island. Plus Chip brags about his chokeholds and gets a tough love PSA about smoking Ice from the guys.

This week’s episode was a massive undertaking with our guest legendary filmmaker and standup comedian and gentleman Bobcat Goldthwait, who was generous enough to indulge us in recording this episode on one of the coldest days in January on a high rise building rooftop in Tulsa at the height of troll season. Here we discuss a wide range of subjects including his films, encounters with the likes of Don Rickles, Prince, Al Gore, low T count, Cher, which tough guy stars wanted to rip his heart out, projects past and future.
