On this episode I'm joined by podcaster, author, actor, and producer Tom Salinsky. My listeners may know Tom as the co-creator and co-host of Best Pick Podcast along with previous Geek4 guest Jessica Regan and (hopefully future guest) John Dorney. Tom joined me to talk about his love for the films of Billy Wilder, who is also one of my favourite directors.

Over the course of our conversation, we cover many aspects of a wide variety of Wilder classics and not-so-classics, including The Apartment (1960), Double Indemnity (1944), Some Like It Hot (1959), One, Two Three (1961), and The Emperor Waltz (1953). We also talk about Tom's #TrekaDay project, which you can follow on Twitter, the vulnerability of showing people movies you love, and even speculate about the next actor to play James Bond.

You can follow up Tom's up on Twitter @tomsalinsky (and follow his #TrekaDay) or read his reviews at http://tomsalinsky.co.uk/blog/

ou may know Adam Roche from his excellent podcasts about classic movies - The Secret History of Hollywood and House of Hammer, but he has a "creepy obsession" with Old Time Radio. In fact, he credits discovering Old TIme Radio as the starting point for all he does now.

We talk about those radio shows that put on audio adaptations of Hollywood films (Screen Guild Theatre, Screen Directors Theatre, and The Lux Radio Theatre) often with the stars of the films or unique alternate castings (Adam tells me about a radio version of Hitchcock’s Shadow of a Doubt with Cary Grant as Uncle Charley!). We talk about the detective shows, the dramas, and the sitcoms. And we manage to cover a bit of classic movies as well.

You can keep up with Adam and his many projects on that new fangled internet!

On this SPOOKY episode of Geek 4, I'm talking to award-winning actor and playwright Margo MacDonald. Margo is also a long time ghost researcher and has been leading ghost tours for www.hauntedwalk.com

for almost 20 years. We discuss her fascination with ghosts and the supernatural; the relative who investigated The Fire-Spook of Caledonia Mills; and her own spooky encounters with the paranormal. We also talk about way people are drawn to scary stories, particularly stories that suggest life after death.

You can follow Margo on Instagram   @Margo_thespian and Twitter @Margo_thespian. You can find out more about her theatrical work at www.parryriposte.ca.

My guest today is Jessica Regan. You may know Jessica as the cocreator and cohost of excellent The Best Pick Podcast, along with Tom Salinksky and John Dorney. She's also an  award winning, RADA trained actor, who's appeared on stage in the West End, New York and  LA and on screen, with roles in BBC's hilarious Ill Behaviour, Call the Midwife,   Silent Witness and Doctors.  You may recognize her voice from the video games Witcher 3 and Assassin's Creed Valhalla. And if all that wasn't impressive enough, she's recently added "author" to her resume. Best Pick: A Journey through Film History and the Academy Awards will be released this February from  Rowman and Littlefield.

What you might not know is that Jessica is also a MASSIVE Quentin Tarantino fan. In fact, when she was a guest on the quiz show Celebrity Mastermind, her  specialist subject was Quentin Tarantino. I'm so pleased that she's be able to join me.

This was a wonderful conversation  that went in a number of different directions. We talk about her history with Tarantino films. We talk about Tarantino's relationships with actors as well as his complicated legacy including his treatment of Uma Thurman and his relationship with Harvey Weinstein.

You can follow Jessica on Twitter @itsjessregan and Instagram @j.reegs. Check out Best Pick Podcast at https://bestpickpod.com or on the podcatcher of your choice. Jessica, Tom, and John's book, Best Pick: A Journey through Film History and the Academy Awards, is available for preorder from Amazon UK, Amazon  US, Amazon Canada or from your local bookseller!!!!
