August 25, 2016 Interviews with Authors Peter Winkler and Scott Tracy Griffin
The lovely Ben-Hur episode I had planned for everyone ended up vanishing into cyberspace leaving me scrambling for a last minute replacement.

Thankfully that came in the form of two interviews with classic film authors Peter Winkler (author of Real James Dean: Intimate Memories From Those Who Knew Him Best) and Scott Tracy Griffin (author of Tarzan on Film). The two sit down with me to talk their respective titles and the stars that inspired them.
