"Best Seller" (with David James Keaton)

About this episode

David James Keaton joins host Tobias Carroll to discuss the 1987 film Best Seller.

On the sixteenth episode of Framed and Bound, David James Keaton joined host Tobias Carroll to discuss the 1987 film Best Seller, starring Brian Dennehy and James Woods. Turns out we were not the only ones to find the end credits song to be a little bit stylistically jarring, as this review makes clear. You can find Keaton at his website ; his latest book is the novel Shallow Ends . And if you enjoyed hearing these guys talk about movies and books, there are more interviews where that came from.
