Author Dan Bronson triumphantly returns to The TMG Interview with Movie Guys Paul and Ray to talk about his new book Shout at the Devil. The book continues the story of Hollywood fixer Jack Shannon and his latest entanglement, this time with actress Karen Scott and a blackmail demand gone wrong. We could talk to Dan forever, but we do get into his dream (impossible) casting for Jack, the audiobooks, Dan's favorite noir movie, and much more before we have to wrap things up!
Shout at the Devil is available now at Amazon and more!

Happy Holidays! Well...not so much for Holly Woods, the main character in the new film Slay Ride, as she and her family are stalked by The Kris Kringle Killer. Slay Ride director Olivia Dunkley returns to The Admiral's Club to talk to Paul about the film, accompanied by her co-star Mitch Shira. As with every indie film, there are stories from the trenches dealing with Utah weather, behind the scenes casting stories and what caused Dunkley's return to the holiday genre (after directing A Holiday Boyfriend), but this time in the horror/slasher genre!

You've probably never seen a movie like Abruptio. It's a tense, violent story of a man who realizes he has a device embedded in his neck and if he doesn't perform certain deadly tasks, it'll explode. Oh...and he's a puppet. The whole cast is. Director Evan Marlowe joins Movie Guy Paul Preston to talk up this very unique film's long road to the screen, doing it all yourself and working with horror legends like Robert Englund and Sid Haig.

Documentaries are especially effective when they bring to light something you may not have otherwise known about. A lost bit of history in Canada is the segregated boarding schools for indigenous children and the abuse of these kids at the hands of the Catholic Church (happening for nearly a CENTURY). The film Sugarcane follows the investigation into this history and documents the resilience of the people who survived their time in the schools and the aftermath. Co-directors Julian Brave Noisecat and Emily Kassie talk to Paul Preston about making the film, the emotions digging up the past have stirred up and more.

The Ghostbusters franchise continues in theaters now. We talked to someone who was there at the beginning. Frank Chindamo was a script P.A. on the 1984 original Ghostbusters and has a fun story to tell your host Paul Preston. Plus, he shares a classic “you were there for THAT?!” story about working on Saturday Night Live as well as working with Mother Theresa (seriously!).
