He’s the brains behind movie site Pinnland Empire, contributor to the Pink Smoke, Co-Host of the Zebras in America podcast, kick ass, smooth music mixer and beats jammer and unreasonably tall but utterly delightful and full of wisdom, you know him, you love him, you’ve probably tweeted him a still from an obscure black n white Latvian film in the hopes to catch him out but failed, it’s the one, it’s the only Marcus Pinn!

He most recently appeared in the brand new Netflix show, Hollywood and has had roles in Stepmom, Boiler Room, Secretary, Freaks and Geeks, Robot Chicken, Bad Ass 2: Bad Asses, Parks and Recreation, Grace and Frankie, Ray Donovan and many more.We also talk about the 90s movie House Arrest, Herbert's start in the business, the Queen's over protection of swans and more!

Our guest today is a towering and phenomenal individual. He’s a self-confessed comic, tech and TV nerd, a film fan, a mixologist, a podcaster and a member of one of the coolest races on the planet, Canadians. He also happens to be my cousin. He’s Michael Goldberg and he’s coming live from Winnipeg.

I talked to Susan Leighton - film fan and renowned editor, reviewer and interviewer for https://www.1428elm.com, https://www.diaboliquemagazine.com and many others.We talked film journalism, interview technique, what annoys us and more!May 1st 2020, Bandcamp is waiving its fees for all music artists on there so we played some tracks from the following bands, support them if you can!https://www.herbertrussell.bandcamp.comhttps://www.hallelujahthehills.bandcamp.comhttps://www.jeawallace.bandcamp.comhttps://www.todgotoverexcited.bandcamp.comhttps://www.johnnyunicorn.bandcamp.comhttps://www.miscplumbingfixtures.bandcamp.com

We never thought it could happen but Cross Talk has achieved the impossible. We have brought together for the first time since their break up in a dumpster, the band that will forever remain in our hearts for their unique vision and pungent smell.In 1990 this band would go on to create a musical wave of innovation not seen since the invention of the keytar. Combining grubby wafts, unkempt hair, coats flecked with vomit and animal blood and the insertion of a pristine woodwind instrument into their anus, they created a sensation in the early 90s indie music scene that would go on to influence Lenny Valve and Cocksters, Ernie Pephepperton Flange III and Grunt Foreskin, the Dutch heavy metal rock band that like to hump tubas. Ladies and Genitals will you all please rub it together like grasshoppers at an orgy for Matt, Moe and Doc the original members and line up of Hobo Butt Flute!

Our guest is the tall, eloquent, self confessed dork who writes for Film School Rejects, is host of the Still Awesome screening nights for the Alamo Drafthouse in Winchester, Virginia, is the co-host of the official podcast of the Alamo Drafthouse in Winchester, Virgina, The In the mouth of Dorkness podcast, is co-host, with his wife, of the Comic Book Couples Counseling podcast, is a world authority on William Shatner and Star Trek 5 and, more importantly than any of that gumph, his wife, Lisa, writes exceptionally well for the aftermoviediner.com, He knows his ninjas, he’s confident about cult film, he’s communicative about comic books and I bet he can also boils a mean egg, it’s the one, and only, Brad Gullickson.

This is the inaugural sail of the good ship Cross Talk 2020. Which is what I thought this show might be called if it was an Italian Grindhouse sci-fi movie from the 70s. Maybe with the addition of the word Bronx in the title. The last season of this show ran mid-year 2014 which was 6 years ago - EvilDead 1 and Evil Dead 2 had 6 years between their release dates, so I feel like I am in strong company.The guest on this first show, is a gent of the highest order, an actor, voice over artist, comedian, writer, teacher, performer and renaissance man, meaning he likes paintings of nude curvaceous females. Some call him Sky bite, some call him Orville, he’s the one, the only, Peter Spellos!
