We all know and love Jamie Kennedy. Hell, even my Grandma loved the guy. I can literally remember walking into her room, only to discover her watching Kickin’ It Old Skool for the 46th time.
Read MoreStephen McHattie - Dreamland, Pontypool, The Fountain (2020) #video
A good friend of mine referred to Stephen McHattie as Canada’s Lance Henricksen recently, and while at first, I was a bit taken aback by this comparison, the more I dug into McHattie’s catalog, the more of a genius my buddy became. Regardless of who you want to compare him to though, McHattie is a legend in his own right, and I’m still in awe by the fact that I was able to go back in forth with the man himself. Stephen’s resume includes some heavy hitters, films that are pretty much staples of Blu-ray collection throughout the world.

I can remember a time when my Facebook movie groups were flooded with conversations revolving around the film Pontypool. I, like many others, jumped in, and it has been a long time since I’ve been that impressed with a blind dive. While the “pool” wasn’t necessarily too deep, it was insanely clever and because of which, Bruce McDonald will forever remain a stapled to my radar.
Read MoreTroy Howarth - The Alpha Omega Man, Murder in B Flat Minor, Fulci's Honey (2020)
If you, like I am, are a collector of physical media and a lover of horror and cult films, you likely have an ever-growing collection of Blu-rays and books on the subjects. Many of these films come with a number of bonus features, from alternate endings to original trailers, and commentaries. Some commentaries are by people involved in the film, directors, actors, producers, while others are done by the people who study these films, who can easily tell you just about any trivia you want to know on a particular film or actor or director, and who offer a critical and engaging voice to guide you through a different type of viewing experience.

I, like many others, utilize the subscription-based streaming service, Amazon Prime. While scrolling through the app one dull evening, I was reminded of the film My Friend Dahmer. I have a self-admitted obsession with serial killers.

Sometimes I get opportunities to interview people that I never would have expected, and while I know my Aunt Traci will be excited to check this one out, Joey Travolta is without a doubt one of those people. While Travolta has been busy with everything under the sun, he has an inspiring film, Carol of the Bells, premiering on DVD and Digital this March from High Octane Pictures. While it is an odd choice to release a Christmas flick in Spring, like It’s a Wonderful Life, Carol of the Bells is good enough to shine through the holiday backdrop.
Read MoreBrendan Meyer - Color Out of Space, The OA, The Guest (2020) #video
Everywhere I looked pointed to Brendan being a HUGE film buff. Most biographies would go as far as to say he has an “extensive knowledge” of live theatre, film, and TV. So right off the bat, I wanted to know his favorite films of 2019. Brendan did not disappoint, and we gushed over Parasite and Uncut Gems right away.

Jason R. Miller is one of those names that gets brought up a lot when listening to my favorite podcasts. He's known for working on some of my favorite films like Hatchet, Frozen and Beyond the Gates. And while he's typically connected to producing, visual effects, and editing, this time he's in the director's chair with his latest feature, Bloodhound.
