The new film "The Bag Man" stars John Cusack as a tough guy named Jack, hired by a legendary crime boss played by Robert DeNiro.

Jack's job? To bring a mysterious bag to a seedy motel. Along the way, Jack meets a host of shady characters and a very odd motel manager who asks a lot of questions.

That manager is played by our next guest. You also know him for his performances in films like "Back to the Future," "River's Edge" and Tim Burton's recent adaptation of "Alice in Wonderland."

Crispin Glover joins us from New York to discuss the film and his own directorial efforts.

Glover has directed two films in what he is calling his "It" trilogy. He will exhibit them in a traveling show at the La Paloma Theater in Encinitas on March 7 and 8.
