Kate Hewlett!
Kate Hewlett! Sue and I have wanted to talk with her, since we started doing our podcasts! And she said YES! So we got to sit down with Kate, and after realizing how naturally funny she is, our interview started to slide right off the rails. We laughed A LOT! This may not necessarily be…
Bomb Girls: Episode 4 – Bringing Up Bombshell
Episode 4, puts us past the halfway mark, and leads us racing towards the end of the first season (which implies there will be a second season, and personally that’s the way I like to see it). Ali Liebert, in our interview with her earlier in the week said this episode pushes her character…

Chatting with Ali Liebert
Tuesday evening, Sue and I got to chat with the very cool Ali Liebert! We rang her up, and had a great talk about Bomb Girls, her role as Betty, her wardrobe, and her fantastic cast mates. She’s a lot of fun (and just between you and me, seems incredibly cool), and we do hope…

Why We Do An Audio Podcast and Not Video…
Hey again folks. Just wanted to take a brief moment to answer a question that has come up a couple of times for Sue and I already… With the amazing guests we’ve had, why are we just doing an audio podcast, and not shooting video as well. There’s a couple of reasons for this, but…
The Black Cat (1934)
Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi, together for the first time!! Stealing it’s title from an Edgar Allen Poe tale, the film actually has nothing to do with the story, despite saying it’s based on it. Two honeymooners visiting Hungary get caught up in a a life and death struggle between the two horror icons. Lugosi…
