The Mike Vilardi ShowEpisode Title: William McNamara on “The Trouble with Billy,” Hollywood Survival, and Independent TelevisionEpisode SummaryIn this episode of The Mike Vilardi Show, Mike Vilardi and Neil “The Media Giant” Haley welcome actor, writer, director, and producer William “Billy” McNamara. Known for Copycat, Chasers, Stealing Home, Dream a Little Dream, and Surviving the Game, McNamara shares the journey behind his independent series, The Trouble with Billy.Billy wrote, directed, produced, and starred in ten episodes—roughly 300 minutes of television—while navigating limited resources, legal complications, union disputes, and a changing streaming industry. Season One is now available on Red Coral Universe.The series is loosely inspired by McNamara's life but greatly exaggerated. His character is a former 1980s actor who believes aliens abducted him and returned him to Hollywood after ten years.Nobody remembers him. He sleeps on his niece's couch. After hosting Alien Abductees Anonymous, he is thrown out and forced to live in a 1998 Chevrolet Monte Carlo with his sick pit bull.Billy must raise $15,000 for the dog's heart transplant. Every time life improves, another bad decision sends him crashing down. The show combines Hollywood satire, alien-abduction comedy, homelessness, friendship, and determination.The first season includes ten episodes, about 150 actors, and more than 75 locations. Featured performers include Billy Baldwin, Angus Macfadyen, Costas Mandylor, Tom Sizemore, Sally Kirkland, and Robert Wagner.Billy says many people doubted he could complete such an ambitious independent production, but he refused to quit.The series was delayed by a Screen Actors Guild dispute involving pension and health contributions. The issue prevented Billy from selling the show and resulted in a two-year legal fight.By the time the legal issues were resolved, streaming had shifted toward advertising-revenue deals, vertical content, and lower-cost programming.Billy eventually connected with producer Larry Meistrich and Red Coral Universe, which released the show on a non-exclusive basis. The platform is available through Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV, and smart televisions.Billy is developing Season Two and working with investors, brands, and production partners. A New Jersey bank may finance part of the production through a New York State rebate, while Red Coral explores sponsorships and minimum guarantees.Billy discusses the unexpected revival of Copycat, the thriller starring Sigourney Weaver and Holly Hunter. When it began trending internationally on Netflix, his IMDb ranking jumped to 161, and he gained thousands of social-media followers overnight.Other career highlights include Stealing Home, Dream a Little Dream, Doing Time on Maple Drive, Surviving the Game, Chasers, and Beggars and Choosers.Billy says Doing Time on Maple Drive remains especially meaningful because viewers still tell him how the film helped them discuss sexuality and family struggles.After more than three decades as a working actor, Billy now prefers writing, directing, and producing. He stepped away from auditions to focus on The Trouble with Billy.The conversation also creates possible collaborations involving the Radiate TV Film Festival, Red Coral Universe, and distribution partnerships. Neil invites Billy to join an upcoming Hollywood panel.Website: TheTroubleWithBilly.comInstagram: @WilliamMcNamara108Watch: The Trouble with Billy on Red Coral UniverseHosted by: Mike Vilardi and Neil “The Media Giant” HaleyGuest: William McNamaraProduced by: Media Giant ProductionsThe Trouble with BillyBuilding the Series Against the OddsSAG Dispute and DistributionSeason Two PlansCopycat Finds a New AudienceFrom Actor to CreatorConnect with William McNamara

Once upon a gloriously grim time, a band of fearless amateur filmmakers gathered in the woods and conjured a monster: the Evil Dead film series. Sam Raimi seized the director's spellbook, Bruce Campbell strapped on his boomstick, and together they unleashed three deliriously chaotic adventures that became cult treasures. As the decades rolled on, Raimi passed the torch to new sorcerers of cinema, each trusted to summon fresh horrors. And now, in 2026, the latest incantation—Evil Dead Burn—has erupted onto theater screens, drawing fans like moths to a demonic flame.From IMDB comes the tale whispered in the shadows: “After the loss of her husband, a woman seeks solace with her in-laws. As one by one they transform into deadites, she comes to discover that the vows she took in life—survive even in death.” It's a story stitched with grief, dread, and the kind of family reunion only the Evil Dead could make hilariously horrifying.Guided by French filmmaker Sébastien Vanicek—whose insect‑infested nightmare Infested (2023) still crawls through viewers' memories—the film was co-written with his longtime collaborator Florent Bernard. The cast, including Souheila Yacoub, Hunter Doohan, Luciane Buchanan, Tandi Wright, Erroll Shand, and Maude Davey, dives headfirst into the carnage. Early watchers whisper that the movie is gloriously gory and savagely brutal, carrying the torch of French Extreme horror straight into American theaters. And now your cohosts, having braved the cinematic bloodbath themselves, return from the darkness to share what they found lurking inside.

Before martial arts changed his life, Jerry Trimble was a shy, anxious teenager who struggled with bullying, fear, and self-doubt. What began as a search for confidence at the age of 13 became the foundation for one of the most remarkable careers in martial arts history. Nicknamed the “Golden Boy,” Jerry quickly rose through the ranks, earning his first-degree black belt at just 15 years old and becoming the top-ranked point fighter in the Midwest. His speed, athleticism, and dynamic kicking ability propelled him into professional kickboxing, where he captured multiple regional and national championships before reaching the pinnacle of the sport in 1986 as both the PKA and PKC Kickboxing World Champion. His legendary hook kick was once clocked at an incredible 118 miles per hour, cementing his reputation as one of the most exciting fighters of his generation. Following his competitive career, Jerry successfully transitioned to Hollywood, building an acting résumé that spans more than 65 films and television appearances. From sharing the screen with Al Pacino and Robert De Niro in Heat to roles in Charlie’s Angels, The Flash, Supernatural, iZombie, Tracker, and many other productions, he has demonstrated the same drive and determination that made him a world champion. Today, Jerry travels throughout the United States and Canada as a motivational speaker, encouraging young people to overcome fear, embrace challenges, and believe in their own potential. His story is a powerful reminder that confidence isn’t something we’re born with, it’s something we build through perseverance, discipline, and the courage to take that first step.

We're proud to introduce Opening Weekend: Selling Hollywood with Jim Fredrick, starting with episode one right here on TG&TG! The most beloved movie on IMDb was, on opening weekend, a flop. Jim Fredrick, who cut the original trailer at Castle Rock, reunites with producer Liz Glotzer to unpack how The Shawshank Redemption got left at the box office and found its audience anyway. Takeaways: The title took the blame. Trimming Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption down to The Shawshank Redemption was meant to play commercial. The press pinned the soft open on a title nobody could decode. No stars, an R rating, a prison. Jim walks through the marketing wall he faced, with Darabont sitting beside him guarding the cut so the trailer gave nothing away. Three million to walk away. Darabont turned down a big payday to not direct, and chose to helm his debut instead, one of several near-misses behind the finished film. Oscars, then Turner, then legacy. Seven nominations nudged theatrical, but the film truly found its audience through relentless TNT airings and a chart-topping home video run. Pull quotes (social-ready): "For 18 years, The Shawshank Redemption has been the number one movie on IMDb. So why wasn't I able to open the film?" — Jim Fredrick "We thought we were being commercial by changing it from Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption to The Shawshank Redemption. Probably that was our first mistake." — Liz Glotzer "The marketing perspective is always give as much away as possible." — Liz Glotzer "You pretty much couldn't turn on the channel and Shawshank wasn't playing." — Liz Glotzer Sponsors: Golden Trailer Awards (goldentrailer.com) West One Music and Q Factory by Robert Etoll (westonemusic.com)

Amanda Elliott continues our artist profile series with an interview with Daniel Reitzenstein. Part 2 of 2. Daniel's journey through the film industry has been shaped by curiosity, resilience, and a willingness to keep evolving. From starting out as a freelance assistant video editor to becoming an animatics editor on Project Hail Mary, he has learned that building a creative career is rarely a straightforward path. In this podcast Daniel opens up about seeing himself as a “Swiss Army Knife,” working through imposter syndrome, taking chances, and why creatives shouldn't take client notes personally. He reflects on the importance of empathy, staying open when a project changes direction, and creating enough emotional distance to avoid tying your self-worth to a specific outcome. At the heart of it all, his belief is that filmmaking is a team sport—one built on trust, collaboration, and keeping the meaningful professional connections with people you meet along the way.

EPISODE 168 | Eating the Onions: War of the Worlds & Other Scares In an environment of experimental fiction, metanarratives, postmodern satire, disinformation, deep fakes, and fake news, a sizeable portion of the content gobbling audience takes things that are not true as being actually true. Online, this happens with alarming regularity with articles published by satirical news site The Onion; so often, in fact, that there's a term for this phenomenon – it's called Eating the Onion. The subjects of intentional disinformation, deep fakes, and fake news are one thing, but what we're looking at here at times when something that was never intended to be taken seriously (though it used real world tropes and structures for narrative effect), were accidentally thought to be base din reality. And people quite rather lost their shit. Like the 1938 Orson Welles broadcast of The War of the Worlds. But there are other instances as well. Review us here or on IMDb.

Welcome back to the podcast, I'm Jamie Baynes. For this episode, I'm delighted to have on George P. Pelacanos, the author of over twenty novels and the writer and producer of several shows, including The Wire, Treme, The Deuce, Bosch, and many more. I began reading Mr. Pelecanos Derek Strange series when it first came out in 2001 and have been a fan ever since. So sit back, relax, and I hope you enjoy the episode.After you've listened, please let me know what you think. There's an old saying that goes, never meet your heroes. Well, I'm happy to say that does not apply to having your heroes on your podcast. As I mentioned before, I've been a fan for over twenty-five years, and I'm still a fan. I'd recommend all of his work, books and films, but I'm especially partial to the Derek Strange series. Here's a link to his IMDB page so you can check out his filmography:https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0670782/Then, head over to his Amazon page to peruse his written work:https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B000AQ4T38?ccs_id=2dfa3ebf-bfdb-430b-aa6b-83e133a9832eI'd like to thank Mr. Pelecanos for taking the time to talk to a small independent podcaster, and I'd like to thank all my listeners for the same thing. So until next time, take care of one another, and as always, thanks for listening.
Undercover Narcotics Detective to Hollywood Actor – Jim Klock Unplugged Jim Klock spent a decade on the police beat, including undercover narcotics work in Virginia, before moving to LA at 30 to chase Hollywood. His first role? Playing an undercover cop on HBO's The Wire while he was still actually an undercover narcotics detective back home. This week on Reza Rifts, host Keith Reza and Jim get into everything: the time he chased a violent suspect past an elementary school, working opposite Woody Harrelson on True Detective, learning craft from acting coach Jack Plotnick, the Sam Elliott "I'm the best Sam Elliott in the world" moment, his upcoming roles on Boston Blue, The Florist, and the shark movie Chum, plus Reza opens up about why he calls his Aspergers a superpower. Guest Info Jim Klock is a Virginia-born American actor, writer, director, and former law-enforcement officer.

Show Notes:This week's guest is horror documentarian and journalist Nick Taylor and we're talking about his documentary Rubberhead: The Life and Monsters of Steve Johnson. Rubberhead premiered a couple of days ago at Fantasia Fest and it'll also be screening next month at FrightFest in the UK. Nick told me how he fell in love with horror, what he learned from being a journalist that translated well into making a documentary, and what the most surprising thing he learned about Steve Johnson was while filming. He also reveals how long it took to film Rubberhead, how he met Steve Johnson initially, and whether he prefers practical FX or CGI.Nick's Socials: Nick on IG: https://www.instagram.com/imnicktaylor/ The Nick Taylor Horror Show: https://www.instagram.com/nicktaylorhorrorshow/ Check out Nick on DreadCentral: https://www.dreadcentral.com/author/nick-taylor/ Rubberhead on IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt42717066/ Who's There?

Amanda Elliott continues our artist profile series with an interview with Daniel Reitzenstein. Part 1 of 2. Daniel's journey through the film industry has been shaped by curiosity, resilience, and a willingness to keep evolving. From starting out as a freelance assistant video editor to becoming an animatics editor on Project Hail Mary, he has learned that building a creative career is rarely a straightforward path. In this podcast Daniel opens up about seeing himself as a “Swiss Army Knife,” working through imposter syndrome, taking chances, and why creatives shouldn't take client notes personally. He reflects on the importance of empathy, staying open when a project changes direction, and creating enough emotional distance to avoid tying your self-worth to a specific outcome. At the heart of it all, his belief is that filmmaking is a team sport—one built on trust, collaboration, and keeping the meaningful professional connections with people you meet along the way.

Steven Spielberg's long‑standing obsession with extraterrestrials has practically become its own cinematic signature. From the awe‑struck wonder of Close Encounters of the Third Kind to the tender magic of E.T., from the apocalyptic terror of War of the Worlds to the pulpy alien chaos tucked inside Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, he's spent decades gazing upward and asking what might be looking back. Now, in 2026, he returns to that cosmic frontier with a new film crafted alongside his longtime collaborator, legendary filmmaker and screenwriter David Koepp.IMDB offers only a single, enigmatic provocation: “If you found out we weren't alone—if someone showed you, proved it to you—would that frighten you?” It's a tease that reveals almost nothing, a whisper of a premise designed to stir curiosity rather than satisfy it. Spielberg has always loved mystery, and here he leans into it fully, letting the question hang in the air like a signal from deep space.What is clear is the strength of the cast. Emily Blunt anchors the film with what early buzz claims may be the most powerful performance of her career. She's joined by Spielberg regulars Colman Domingo and Eve Hewson, along with Josh O'Connor, Wyatt Russell, and Colin Firth—who reportedly devours every moment he's given. With an 80% score on Rotten Tomatoes, the film has landed as a solid, if not earth‑shattering, box office success in Spielberg's extraterrestrial canon. And now your co‑hosts dive in, exploring the movie's mysteries and debating whether the Grays finally step out of the shadows and into a podcast pick.

Marc MacYoung has spent a lifetime studying violence, not as a sport or a theory, but as a reality. A longtime martial artist, security professional, author, and educator, his unique perspective was shaped by growing up in gang-infested neighborhoods of Los Angeles, where understanding violence was often a matter of survival rather than choice. His experiences in bodyguarding, bouncing, and event security further reinforced the lessons he learned on the streets, leading him to question conventional wisdom about self-defense and martial arts. Instead of searching for a single “best” style, Marc became fascinated with understanding what works, when it works, and why. That philosophy eventually evolved into what he calls “Martial Mechanics,” a framework for analyzing how techniques function under different circumstances and in real-world environments. Over the decades, Marc has become one of the leading voices on violence dynamics, conflict management, and self-protection. His work extends far beyond physical techniques, exploring the psychology of violence, threat assessment, de-escalation, communication, and the legal realities surrounding self-defense. Through his books, lectures, and expert witness testimony, he has challenged countless misconceptions about personal safety and the true nature of violent encounters. The author of more than 25 nonfiction books, Marc has shared his expertise with martial artists, law enforcement, military personnel, universities, and government agencies around the world. Today, while semi-retired due to health considerations and his wife’s disability, he has turned much of his creative energy toward writing fiction, bringing the same depth of experience and insight to a new genre.

Synopsis The late Sam Neill plays John Trent, an insurance investigator tracking down the whereabouts of Sutter Cane a famous horror novelist who has gone missing right before the release of his new novel. Trent suspects that the whole thing is a publicity stunt for the novel's release, but as he searches for Kane, he finds the line between Kane's fictional world and reality start to fray and overlap in disturbing ways. Review John Carpenter goes full Lovecraftian, melding his trademark independent film sensibilities and impressive practical effects with cosmic horror. If you look at his Rotten Tomatoes or IMDB ratings, you will also see that this is his last major film with significant critical and audience praise. It marks the end of an era where scrappy 80s gore and body horror was supplanted by slicker high budget meta narratives. This movie ushered in the new era with the likes of Candyman, The New Nightmare, and Scream. standing between two eras, this definitely has more of an esthetic aligned with the scrappy indy vibe of Romero and Carpenters previous work. The idea takes center stage and isn't handled preciously. It presents itself as a cool thing and lets the audience take a little ride without delving deep into the psychological or taking itself too seriously. Kind of like a Stephen King novel actually. I picked this one because of the passing of Sam Neill and he does a great job here being the everyman descending into, you guessed it, madness. We also get Happy Gilmore's grandma being freaky af, Vigo the Carpathian, and a very young Hayden Christiansen. Like I said before, it's a fun ride that doesn't take itself too seriously. My only criticism is that it does rely on some repetitive cinematic moves such as jump scares and arbitrary time loops. But it's all to service the films uneasy vibe and give impact to the singular moments of cosmic horror. Score 7/10

Fargo (1996) turns 30 this year. On this episode of The Cinema Psycho Show, hosts Brian and John are joined by Katie and Nat from The VHS Club podcast to revisit the Coen brothers' Minnesota crime classic — including why detective Marge Gunderson spent most of the investigation with almost nothing to go on but a single vague description of her "funny looking" suspect. In this episode: Why Fargo's dialogue rewards a rewatch more than almost any crime film of the '90s Marge Gunderson's investigation, and how one bystander's description of a "funny looking" suspect drives the entire back half of the movie The real production story behind the movie's snow (there wasn't enough of it) A live read-through of listener and Letterboxd reviews of Fargo, 30 years later Final ratings and verdict from Brian, John, Katie, and Nat Quick answers: Is Fargo based on a true story? No. Despite the film's opening title card, Fargo is a work of fiction — a detail the Coens have confirmed for decades, and one the hosts dig into on this episode. Where does Fargo take place? Mostly in Brainerd, Minnesota — not the city of Fargo, North Dakota, despite the title. Who stars in Fargo? Frances McDormand as Marge Gunderson, William H. Macy as Jerry Lundegaard, Steve Buscemi as Carl Showalter, and Peter Stormare as Gaear Grimsrud. Who directed Fargo? Joel and Ethan Coen (the Coen brothers), released in 1996.

Episode Summary Erin and Rachel return to the Hundred Acre Wood for Winnie the Pooh (2011), the sequel to The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1977).

Thanks for checking out our podcast. In this episode we take a look at swinging in the media - with a couple of different sides to the story. The first is a serious chat about a recent BBC news article and podcast series on a woman called Ruth, who says she was pressured into having sex with strangers through the Fabswingers website more than 100 times. The second is a bit of a download around recent movie The Invite, staring Olivia Wilde, Seth Rogan, Penelope Cruz and Edward Norton. We talk about how things have been portrayed in the media, the up and downsides and share our feelings on how much responsibility swinger sites have.

Liam Neeson has spent the last decade dancing between genres like a seasoned circus performer, trading his gravitas‑laden dramatic roots for the gleeful chaos of action mayhem. One moment he's growling threats into a flip phone, the next he's wrestling wolves or popping up in a spoof like The Naked Gun. By 2026, he's added yet another feather to his already overstuffed cap: horror‑comedy. In Cold Storage, Neeson strides into the fray as if he's been waiting his whole life to battle a government‑bred fungus with a bad attitude.According to the tale spun on IMDb, a top‑secret lab misplaces a highly dangerous fungus—because of course it does—and suddenly a retired bioterrorism agent is yanked back into service. He teams up with two plucky young employees of a storage facility to face an enemy that can't be seen, reasoned with, or politely asked to stay in its containment chamber. It's part zombie romp, part disaster spectacle, and entirely the sort of bureaucratic blunder that makes you wonder who keeps approving these fictional government budgets.Guided by director Jonny Campbell and penned by screenwriter‑producer David Koepp, the film pairs Neeson with Joe Keery of Stranger Things fame and Georgina Campbell from Barbarian, plus a delightful appearance by Vanessa Redgrave. Released in just over a thousand theaters—including IMAX, for those who prefer their fungal horrors larger than life—the movie crept into cinemas appropriately on Friday the Thirteenth, February 2026, for a limited run. Now your cohosts dive into this quirky creature feature to share their thoughts, their laughs, and perhaps their newfound fear of refrigerated storage units.

It's not surprising that Kingston is considered one of Canada's more haunted cities because it is known as the "Limestone City." Limestone has a way of absorbing energy, good and bad. What started as a French trading post has grown into one of the largest cities in Ontario. There are many haunted locations here from asylums for the criminally insane to jails to cemeteries. Join us for the history and hauntings of Kingston, Ontario, Canada. This Month in History features the Carranza Monument.

Somehow we've already reached the point where the conversation spirals from Steven Spielberg's new alien movie into whether Lear's digestive system could accidentally start an interplanetary war.Just another totally normal morning.The gang kicks things off with a packed weekend preview, including Lear's big Pageant event, Moon's soccer watch party in Illinois, and the upcoming Night at the Rizzlies. Then things take a sharp left turn into the great extraterrestrial debate after discussion of Spielberg's latest sci-fi blockbuster sparks a surprisingly deep conversation about intelligent life beyond Earth.Do aliens exist? Are they already here? Is Earth basically the North Sentinel Island of the galaxy? Could heaven secretly be a spaceship? These are apparently the questions that happen when you give a radio show access to microphones before coffee fully kicks in.The crew dives into theories ranging from religion and simulation concepts to alien overlords, government coverups, and whether any of us would voluntarily board a mysterious spacecraft in the middle of nowhere. Some members of the show are ready to leave Earth immediately. Others have follow-up questions about bathrooms.There's also a healthy amount of celebrity and entertainment chaos. Learn breaks down the new Sublime album featuring Jakob Nowell, Fleetwood Mac's upgraded greatest-hits collection, Motley Crue's theatrical return, Sammy Hagar's upcoming tour, and Larry David's newest HBO project. Along the way, the gang somehow turns a discussion about classic rock into a deep dive on band members dating each other, divorcing each other, and then somehow continuing to make hit records together.The movie conversation keeps rolling with discussions about Spielberg's return to alien storytelling, the highest-rated films of the last 25 years, Christopher Nolan's domination of IMDb rankings, and why Whiplash remains one of the most stressful movies ever made.It's the kind of daily comedy show episode that starts with local events and ends with humanity questioning its place in the universe.If you enjoy pop culture commentary, weird news, celebrity gossip, classic rock debates, science-fiction rabbit holes, and a daily comedy show that never stays on topic for more than three minutes, Episode 200 delivers exactly the kind of beautiful disaster you'd expect from The Rizzuto Show.Thanks for making this daily comedy show part of your day.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
