McBride is the author of Into the Nightmare: My Search for the Killers of President John F. Kennedy and Officer J. D. Tippit (2013) and was a volunteer in Kennedy’s 1960 Wisconsin presidential primary campaign.

Joseph has published a book of interviews with director Howard Hawks, Hawks on Hawks; two other books on Welles, Orson Welles and Orson Welles: Actor and Director; critical studies of Ford (with Michael Wilmington) and Ernst Lubitsch; and Writing in Pictures: Screenwriting Made (Mostly) Painless.

McBride is a professor in the School of Cinema at San Francisco State University. Joe and Don Jeffries cover a wide range of topics, from his introduction to Hollywood to Orson Welles’ intriguing but never filmed movie about the RFK assassination, starring the ill-fated Sal Mineo.
