"Rick Sloane: Occult Filmmaker" (13:50, HD) is a 2012 interview with the writer/director, who identifies "Mind, Body & Soul" as his chance to get away from making "sexy comedies," only to end up with the worst censorship issues of his career, with the feature banned in some areas of the world. Slone discusses his research into the world of Satanism, soon facing issues with equipment and construction on-set, believing evil was present. Shot simultaneously with "Vice Academy: Part 3," Slone points out the recycling of sets and scenes required to bring "Mind, Body & Soul" to life. Casting is highlighted, with Wings Hauser happy to not play a cop, while Ginger Lynn Allen was also offered a change of pace, though the interviewee recalls an unhappy set. He's also open to pointing out stock footage utilized to complete the endeavor, along with risky stunt work. Slone closes with his recollection of the editing process, with his suite located next to Quentin Tarantino, who was putting the finishing touches on "Reservoir Dogs."

"Ginger Lynn Allen: Hell's Belle" (12:57, HD) is a 2012 interview with the actress, who recalls a "turbulent" time in her life during the shooting of "Mind, Body & Soul," with one of her distractions being boyfriend Charlie Sheen. She discusses her relationship with writer/director Rick Sloane, which has been somewhat tempestuous, identifying his frugality during the production and his need for nudity during Allen's "mainstream" years. Lackluster catering is also exposed. The interviewee offers her limited appreciation for Slone's plotting and characterization, but she found the task of playing two characters for two different movies on the same day challenging. Co-star Wings Hauser is recalled, with Lynn finding him difficult to work with, and the occult nature of the material supplied its own uneasy mood during the shoot.

Richardson: Demonic Art Director" (6:37, HD) is a discussion of "Mind, Body & Soul," with the interviewee recalling his previous collaborations with writer/director Rick Sloane, identifying his on-set demeanor and ability to roll with low-budget moviemaking punches. Anecdotes are shared about the shoot, with Richardson forced to deal with a particularly creepy individual, and he offers a few insider tips about working in Hollywood, identifying Slone as a leader who followed through on his promises, especially monetary ones.
