    The Truth is Out There

    In this episode I interview Brit Elders on the Release of the UFO…Contact from the Pleiades

    Volumes I & II (45th Anniversary Edition) by Lee Elders, Brit Elders and Thom Welch.

    Together they researched photographs taken by Billy Meier who claimed to have frequent visits with aliens from the Pleiades. Originally they thought it would take a day to label the photos as fakes. Eight years later they could not help to come to the conclusion that they were real.

    The book and documentary show the compelling evidence that verifies their findings. A compelling book to read, with spectacular photos, in present time as the government releases their own UFO files.

    Is it absurd to believe we are alone or is it absurd to believe we are not? I guess that depends on each individual. Give it a listen and see where you land.

    Here are links for more information.

Or do we just get more confused the deeper we go? Plus another shout out to JimMcDonough. Is he becoming the Matt Damon to our Jimmy Kimmel? Join us and find out.

  • Interview with Luigi Cozzi
    Mar 19 2024

    We traveled to Rome Italy and sat down for a brief conversation with cult film director Luigi Cozzi in his Profondo Rosso store and talked about his movies, what is a cult movie, the future of filmmaking and a little advice to filmmakers today. It's always fun to sit down with our friend Luigi Cozzi!

    You can find Luigi Cozzi's movies on Amazon, Severin and most other movie retail stores.

    You can find his books on Amazon. He's a terrific film historian, you'll definitely want to check some out.

    And here is a link to find out more about the Profondo Rosso store! A must stop if you are ever in Rome. Or you can shop from home!

    To learn more about the history of VIPCO, who helped distribute some of the best titles in the history of cult cinema. Here is an article from the Reprobate by David Flint about Vipco's history.

    Vipco has since returned and is releasing new genre titles.

    Full disclosure, one of them is mine.

  • Interview with Film Director Claire Jeffreys
    Jan 15 2024

    We recently interviewed film director Claire Jeffreys about her new documentary Garland Jeffreys: The King of In Between which won the audience award at the Doc NYC Film Festival. It's a film about one of the most under the radar musicians whose fans rank amongst some of the biggest names in the industry. Like Lou Reed, Bob Marley and Bruce Springsteen. This remarkable film is also Claire's first. So we shine the light on her as a filmmaker as well as discuss Garland.
