After facing backlash over being cast as an Asian character in Ghost in the Shell and a trans man in Rub & Tug, Scarlett Johansson stated in an interview that “as an actor I should be able to play any person, or any tree, or any animal.”

In response, Asian actor Chris Grace decided that he should play Scarlett Johansson. His one-person show, Chris Grace: As Scarlett Johansson features him in a number of absurd wigs discussing Johansson’s career and Hollywood’s long history of whitewashing.

We talk to Grace about this hilarious and poignant show, which is now available to stream on Dropout.

This week’s music:

• Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
• Interstitial – “Vishnu Meets Funk” and “Ancient Ritual” by Lucas Perný & Miloslav Kollar

Before diving into Nicolas Cage Month, Joel and Andy are taking a brief interlude to discuss one of the most infamous films ever made … Caligula.

The film, which boasted a script from acclaimed writer Gore Vidal and an impressive cast that included Malcolm McDowell, Helen Mirren, Peter O’Toole and John Gielgud. was shot in 1976, but wasn’t released in theaters until 1979.

Penthouse Magazine founder Bob Guccione edited the final cut; splicing in hardcore pornography. Most of those involved distanced themselves from the project.

Now, a newly remastered and edited “Ultimate Cut” hopes to restore the film to its original vision. Joel and Andy watch the new cut to find its silver linings.

Caligula (1979) 
Directed by: Tinto Brass 
Written by: Gore Vidal 
Starring: Malcolm McDowell, Teresa Ann Savoy, Helen Mirren, 
Peter O'Toole, John Gielgud
