This week on Deep Cuts: The Game, we’re joined by the one and only W. Earl Brown—actor, writer, and one of those “that guy” legends whose face you know and whose performances you definitely remember.

Right out of the gate, the conversation turns into a spirited debate about whether Earl deserves a spot on the Deep Cuts Mount Rushmore, and honestly, the case makes itself. From there, we dig into his journey breaking into the business, the winding road that led to some unforgettable roles, and the near-misses that could’ve changed everything.

Of course, no conversation with Earl would be complete without spending time in the gritty, poetic world of Deadwood, as he shares stories and reflections from one of television’s most iconic series.

Then it’s game time. Earl joins the crew to break down a trio of films spanning horror, outrageous comedy, and sports drama bringing sharp insight, great stories, and a few surprises along the way.

It’s a fun, candid, and wide-ranging episode with a true character actor in every sense of the word.

This week on Deep Cuts: The Game, we’re turning the dial way up with a guest whose career thrives on bold ideas and a love of the unexpected—director Josh Forbes joins us in the hot seat. From directing inventive, high-energy music videos for artists like Walk Off the Moon, Carly Rae Jepsen, and The Offspring, to diving into the world of feature filmmaking with the gonzo horror-comedy Destroy All Neighbors and his documentary work exploring the legacy of Gallagher, Josh brings a wildly eclectic perspective and a deep passion for storytelling in all its forms.

Together, we dig into a trio of films packed with absurd comedy, mystical adventure, and swashbuckling romance—three unforgettable picks that twist genres, break rules, and have earned their place as beloved cult classics.

Expect behind-the-scenes stories, creative deep dives, and the kind of chaotic, passionate movie conversation that only Deep Cuts: The Game can deliver. It’s weird, it’s wonderful… and it’s exactly why we love the movies.
