Nothing draws attention like a plane crash. Nothing burns more than someone cutting in line at the bank. Nothing stirs more than Docurama's Wake Up And Smell The Coffee DVD. Eric Bogosian makes his solo career soar in his screen adaptation of a show that started as a rant, but ends in truth. From playing Satan as a salesman to a movie producer trying to make a quick buck off some vulnerable plane crash victim via a made-for-TV movie, Bogosian is sure to keep you in the hot seat. Targeting post 9/11 themes that oddly enough were written before 9/11, Bogosian stirs emotion through fast satiric dialogue and uneven character structure that’s all too familiar. DVD Talk writer Danielle Henbest had the opportunity to talk to Actor and Writer (and sometimes Monologist) Eric Bogosian about Wake Up And Smell The Coffee, Starbucks and the art of writing damn good prose without burning your tongue.

Steve-O and Chris Pontius have contributed to a lot of mind-warping and more than a few injuries with their work on Jackass. But their finest work yet has come on their own show, Wildboyz, where they have the chance to touch on such important modern issues as homosexuality, bestiality and uncontrollable vomiting. Gil Jawetz recently had the chance to review the Wildboyz season 1 DVD and chat with Steve-O about his show, his life and his love of the spotlight. He also filled us in on the future of the mysteriously unaired 3rd season of Wildboyz and revealed something that he actually is ashamed of - and it's not what you might think. Read our complete interview with Wildboy Steve-O and Read our Wildboyz DVD Review
