The second callback is from a couple weeks back, the new production company from Joseph Gordon-Levitt, hitRECord.org.  They had their first test as a production company at Sundance 2010.  They set up a booth for the ten day festival and spent those days working with people at Sundance and around the world to create some great collaborations worth showing off the closing day. To see exactly how they work together to make their records click here.  Our picks from the show are below. If you want to see our conversation on these videos watch Episode 11 of OK, Good Stuff.

On this week’s Episode of OK, Good Stuff we found the Crackle show So On and So Forth for your viewing pleasure. The story revolves around 5 people who are all interconnected in some way. There are ten episodes each take place with two of the characters. By the end each character has one video with every other character. It is a comedy series by the director Matt Spicer and starring Camille Chen, Diana Gitelman, Jake Johnson, Jon Togo, Armen Weitzman.

The series is more of an experiment in film and in producing internet content then an attempt to tell a full story.  There are ideas that follow through the 10 episodes, but it is more about the interactions and treatment of the characters.  There is plenty to enjoy in this likable internet comedy.  To see our full conversation watch Episode 11 of OK, Good Stuff.  Check out the trailer and first couple episodes below.

Trailer:

Episode 1: Chloe and Leland just hang out. Whether it be cooking, painting, yoga, face painting or just smoking out its all good. Leland and Chloe really connect. As the sun sets on a perfect day Leland finds a way to wipe all the good away.

Episode 2: Sam and Joy run into each other in the park. You can tell something’s wrong when Joy smacks Sam in the face. Sam learns two important lessons: The past always catches up with you and it’s not always the best idea to blab out your secrets.

Well, today they went and saw the new Mel Gibson flick, “Edge of Darkness”, which I know at least Robby was apprehensive about at first. For a bit of background, the screenplay was written by William Monahan who also wrote The Departed, and it coincidentally also takes place in Boston.  In the film, a man (Mel Gibson) watches as his daughter is shot and killed. He then makes it his mission to find out why, and a number of crazy things unravel.

After you’ve watched the Instant Movie Review, head over to OK, Good Stuff Episode 9 for their full and complete thoughts.

This week, the boys (along with special friend Beth) went and saw “Extraordinary Measures” starring Brendan Fraser and Harrison Ford. The film is based on the true story of John Crowley and his family – two kids suffering from Pompe Disease (a form of muscular dystrophy) – and a theoretical scientist who helps him find a cure for his children.

The show is split into 16 short episodes that add up to an entire movie.  The full length movie was released in iTunes the same day that the show launched of Crackle.  The show had some big money and Sony Pictures behind it.  The episodes rival the production quality of any show on TV.  Could this be a the big step that internet TV was waiting for to step into some larger show? Only time will tell.
