In this episode, after introducing ourselves, we discuss the Kevin Spacey masterwork, Swimming With Sharks. There are some audio isssues, which we hope to fix in later episodes and, also, there's no music, we'll have to find some Creative Commons stuff that we like.
Movie Synopsis (from IMDB): Movie producer Buddy Ackerman (Kevin Spacey) is one of Hollywood's most powerful men whose quickly on the rise for someone else's higher profile job. But that doesn't make Buddy such a nice guy, which his very naive assistant Guy (Frank Whaley) is just about to learn. As he barely endures and tolerates Buddy's daily rituals of constant abuse and humiliation in front of the office, Guy has his own agenda to rise within Hollywood's ranks and Buddy is his only ticket there. But when Guy learns a potentially explosive personal secret involving both he, his producer girlfriend (Michelle Forbes) and his boss, he's decided he's had just enough. Now Buddy is about to be on a much harsher receiving end of Guy's wrath when he's been kidnapped, held hostage, and relentlessly tortured in his own home, with both men having no idea how this night is going to end when the cards will finally be on the table.

Next Time: Since Carter picked this movie, Adam got to pick the next one . . . and he chose The Last Samurai, that should tell you something.
