Penelope Spheeris is a film director, producer and screenwriter. She directed all 3 of "The Decline of Western Civilization" with a 4th one on the way. She also directed Suburbia, Black Sheep and Wayne's World. This was one of the most fun interviews I've done this year, maybe ever. Lots of great stories about Hollywood, working with Chris Farley, her unreleased movie about Ozzfest, UFO abductions and so much more! Check it out!
