Episode 582
Ben Leonberg
Director: Good Boy

Director Ben Leonberg (and Indy) drop by to talk about the most unique and original film this year, "Good Boy".

"Good Boy" is about a man that moves into a new home that has supernatural forces lurking in the shadows. As dark entities start to threaten him, his brave dog comes to the rescue. Make no mistake, this is a horror movie but it is also most certainly about the beauty of dogs and unmatched loyalty. 

Ben and I talk about dogs, making this amazing movie, the fact this is Indy's love story,  whether dogs should be nominated for academy awards, why people are so protective of dogs and so much more.

Welcome, Ben Leonberg.

Episode 579
Miles Ekhardt | "It: Welcome to Derry (Matty Clements)

Miles joins me to talk all things "It" and his character Matty Clements.

Episode 1 of "It: Welcome to Derry" might be one of the best pilot of a show in recent memory. A huge part of that pilot's success was Mile's portrayal of Matty Clements.

Miles and I talk Matty, It, Derry, Pennywise, the amount of emotional pain Matty seems to be fighting, adults that cannot be trusted,  Is Matty alive? Is Matty Pennywise? This and much, much more.

Welcome, Miles Ekhardt!

Episode 576
"It: Welcome to Derry" | Clara Stack (Lily Bainbridge)

Happy Halloween!

Clara joins me to talk all things "It".
Clara's performance thus far is about as good in a show as I have ever seen.

We talk about Derry, the pain that her character goes through, the adults being as bad as the evil entity, me thinking this was going to be like the group of friends from "Stranger Things" (boy was I wrong!)  Does Lily have the "Shine"?  

Not only is the entity evil, its cruel. It knows the worst thing to say and do, and 100% follows through. 

I love this show and I absolutely love this performance.
She is terrific.

Welcome, Clara Stack

James Russo joins me for a rare interview to talk about "Tulsa King", his character QUIET Ray, his filmography which includes Django Unchained, Donnie Brasco, Beverly Hills Cop and so much more.
