    Season 6, Episode 3: Interview with Dan Hough (Ant) from “Speak No Evil” (2024)

    While the 2024 remake of 'Speak No Evil' delivers plenty of frightening moments that will have you squirming in your seat, it also carves its own distinct identity with unexpected twists. The film is anchored by superb performances from its entire cast, but one portrayal is truly a standout. As the young, non-verbal Ant, Dan Hough delivers a performance of remarkable strength and nuance, creating a character whose safety we become deeply invested in. He is the magnetic center of the film's rising tension, and it's my pleasure to have interviewed him. Join me as I sat down with Dan Hough in this interview about his debut role! This young and very talented actor delivered his role as Ant and it’s an exceptional performance. Anyone who is nominated for Young British/Irish Performer of the Year for a role that has no dialogue deserves it! Dan Hough is very talented in my opinion. We spoke about how he prepared for a role that relied heavily on non-verbal communication and how he had to practice conveying his emotions, what it was like to work on set with James McAvoy and developing the on-screen dynamic with the other actors. Dan has also revealed that there is a documentary on YouTube where he revisits the set after two years and surreal because that was essentially his home for the entire duration of filming.

    Season 6, Episode 2: Interview with Matt Keeslar (Steven Rimbauer) from Stephen King’s “Rose Red” (2002)

    Rose Red may have premiered back in 2002, but its power has not faded. While not a conventional haunted house tale, its genius lies in a grounded realism that makes the terror feel palpable. It's honestly a tragedy that this miniseries is so often overlooked, because it remains a brilliant, underrated piece of horror that deserves a permanent place in the horror community. One person who stands out the most is Matt Keeslar who plays Steven Rimbauer perfectly; a most talented actor who deserves top recognition for his portrayal in this miniseries. Join me and Matt as we sit down and talk about his role as Steven Rimbauer; He goes into detail about his character, the movie set, production and what it was like to work with such a talented cast. Matt also brought Julian Sans back to life with his almost perfect imitation of the deceased actor which I thought was really cool. Although Rose Red is considered a miniseries, it’s still on my rewatch list not only because of the story line but also because of the actors who delivered their roles phenomenally. And to be honest, I believe that this movie still resonates with audiences almost 25 years later.

    Season 6, Episode 1: Interview with Chelsey Grant (Kelly) from “V/H/S/85” (2023)

    Released in 2023, V/H/S/85 stands out as a remarkably solid, often brutal, found-footage anthology. What truly elevates this installment is its consistent and successful capture of the distinct 1980s analog aesthetic. I was particularly captivated by the meticulous technical details; the subtle shimmers of analog tape and the intentional glitches were a nostalgic symphony, enhancing the immersive experience. I honestly wasn't anticipating such deep engrossment simply due to the format, yet there's an undeniable synergy between the found-footage style and the unique charm of the '80s that makes it incredibly compelling. What an amazing interview! It was an absolute honor and pleasure to speak to Chelsey about her role in one of my favorite found footage movies of all time. Join us as we speak about her character, the plot twist, the special effects / makeup process, and how the director was able to grab the essence of the 1980s. Please follow Chelsey on Facebook and show her your support and keep up to date with her upcoming projects.

    Season 5, Episode 100: Interview with Danielle Kennedy (Agnes Festersen) in “The ‘Burbs” (2026)

    For those who appreciate a character-driven mystery with a strong dose of comedy, "The 'Burbs" is a perfect fit. It's an easy-to-watch series, ideal for unwinding with a bowl of popcorn after a long day. Fans of the stellar cast will find a lot to love. Tonight, I'm sitting down with one of the show's standout performers, Danielle Kennedy, who brilliantly portrays the unforgettable HOA president, Agnes Festersen. This was a treat! Join me as I speak to Danielle Kennedy about her role in the reimagination of the cult classic from the 1980s that we love so much. Hearing Danielle’s point of view about her character is priceless, especially where she has to portray the formidable HOA president whom the consensus has come to love and hate at the same time. However, in my opinion, Danielle delivered her character not with just the right amount of passion, but also the right amount of brilliance. The ‘Burbs is still streaming on Peacock; if you’re into the whodunit and crime-solving murder mysteries, then this show is for you!

    Season 5, Episode 99: Interview with B.J. Minor (Johnny) from “Scared to Death” (2024)

    This interview is a must watch! Join me as I spoke with B.J. Minor about his debut role in what has been described as a movie packed with witty humor and supernatural tales beyond surprising and refreshing which will keep the audience invested all the way until the very last credit has rolled across the screen. We spoke about the meta layers of the film and how he approached them regarding his performance. He also went into detail about the atmosphere and what it was like to work on set with horror icons Lin Shaye and Bill Moseley. Off topic conversation about his previous works in Bel-Air and Grey’s Anatomy was also brought up in the mix. Overall, a great interview with a very talented actor and I cannot wait to see this movie. Scared to Death hits theaters today and make sure you get to your nearest theater and check it out.

    Season 5, Episode 98: Interview with Chloë Crump (Emily Gale) from Gale: Yellow Brick Road (2026)

    Although we see a darker side of Oz, ushering a more psychological re-imagining of Frank L. Baum’s Wizard of Oz mythology set in the modern world. With those two variables, it’s a world that was built where Oz is not a bedtime story. I sat down with the very talented Chloë Crump who explains to me who her character is and why we should be compelled to watch this movie. Join me and Chloë as we sit down and talk about the grim version of The Wizard of Oz, a dark side that we’ve never seen before. Let’s re-imagine the psychological aspect of this film, a very talented actress who plays Emily Gale, immersing herself into the world of Oz and being that powerful character. She spoke about the intense and emotional challenges while filming along with giving us detailed information about the set. I cannot wait to see this movie and what it has to offer to the audiences world-wide. Although this may seem like it’s the end of the Yellow Brick Road for Emily, there is more to explore to the story and hopefully (fingers crossed) there will be a sequel closely following the Oz stories that we know.

    Season 5, Episode 97: Interview with Georgia Leva (Kate Rose) from The 'Burbs (2026)

    At first, I was a bit cynical about the idea of a reboot of The Burbs. I always raise an eyebrow when a streamer announces it’s going to turn a classic or forgotten film from a previous decade into a full TV series, but in this case, the series in question is The Burbs, which to my surprise ended up being far more entertaining than I thought it was going to be. Thanks to some nice narrative twists and a slew of great performances, this is a true gem in the crown. I had such a great time sitting down with Georgia and speaking to her about her role as Kate Rose from the remake of The ‘Burbs! Georgia is such an amazing and talented actress who brought us the “theorized” villainess of the show. She made a really good point during the interview, stating that the ending really didn’t show her driving away in the car, it could very well be someone else. However, I do like the callbacks and the nostalgia of the show: the sardines and pretzels, the picture that came with the frame, Corey Feldman making a great comeback cameo as Ricky Butler. I am excited to see what’s in store for Season 2. Please follow and support Georgia on Instagram and to let her know who well she performed in the show. You can still watch and catch up on The ‘Burbs still streaming on Peacock.

    Season 5, Episode 96: Interview with Sarah Waisman (Rita) from Amazon Prime’s “Fallout” (2026)

    Fallout Season 2 is normally commended for expanding its post-apocalyptic world with remarkable, gritty visuals and strong performances in which I find it worthy, so much so, that it literally dives into New Vegas territory. The lore is expanded, the visuals are highlighted, and new characters have come to light. New characters such as Rita performed exceptionally well by the talented Sarah Waisman. It was wonderful to sit down and speak to Sarah to get a better understanding of the character Rita. Although she is only in one episode, the writers decided to focus on her for a particular reason and I believe that reason is that she will make a comeback in Season 3, opening her famous restaurant “Rita’s Café” after the Legion invades New Vegas. They will release all the controlled workers. And to make it more interesting, the Legion will also recognize their former cook, Rita and have her come back to making those delicious human buffets and trail mix. This is just working hypothesis, and I hope I am right! Bethesda and Fallout producers/writers, get on it!
