JIMMY GEORGE joins me on the show to discuss his filmmaking career and a special new venture. To this point, George has been known for his partnership with Baltimore-native horror director, Chris LaMartina. As producer and co-writer, George has helped bring fan favorites to life, including the WNUF Halloween Special, Call Girl of Cthulhu, Witch’s Brew, President’s Day and the duo’s forthcoming What Happens Next Will Scare You. But he has an even scarier undertaking in his sights: running his own business.

“Script Butcher,” a script doctor service, sees George bringing years of writing and producing experience to helping those trying to improve, polish and unlock the greatness of their own screenplays. He has poured his whole self into the job, providing guidance and feedback that is rabidly sought after, and for the fraction of the price of other services. I love seeing this kind of positive work supporting creative artists. Great talk!

AUNDRIA also joins me in the intro to tease our upcoming coverage of Fantastic Fest 2017 for Action-A-Go-Go! It's scrappley!

What was lost, now is found. This is a very special episode recorded in July 2016 with hard boiled writer and Hard Case Crime imprint founder, CHARLES ARDAI. We talk Ardai's novelization of Shane Black's "The Nice Guys," crime fiction fandom, and the writing, publishing and artifact nature of pulp fiction paperbacks. We touch on Stephen King's work with Hard Case Crime, as well as Raymond Chandler, James M. Cain, Lawrence Block and other heavy hitters of the genre. We also talk about Ardai's involvement with the cult crime drama-fantasy TV series "Haven." At the end, Ardai gives his recommendations for newbies to Hard Case Crime's vast catalog.

FLOYD NORMAN, Disney's first African-American animator, joins me to discuss the new documentary covering his life, Floyd Norman: An Animated Life. Directed by Michael Fiore & Erik Sharkey, the film covers the many arcs Norman has had in his long life; from Disney to educational filmmaking to combating ageism in an ever-changing industry. He has had a fun and storied life, and the documentary bleeds through with that optimism. Such a great guy!

Writer and film critic, MATT ZOLLER SEITZ, joins me to talk about his new book, The Oliver Stone Experience, a beautifully conceived, edited & photographed retrospective on the career of one of America's last great auteurs. We talk about Stone's personality and aesthetic, the creation of the book and how his films fit into the world today. Lots of detours with Matt's personal view of the state of film and a great talk! Enjoy!

Please note: I misattributed my quotes about digging on esoterica to Nathan Rabin; they were written by Noel Murray.
