I spoke with author Blake Snyder about his Save the Cat! and Save the Cat! Goes to the Movies screenwriting books. On behalf of movie fans everywhere, I'd like to thank Snyder for his splendid screenwriting books...Using a witty writing style plus his...

It's tough to keep track of everything going on in Llanview, (the fictional city where One Life to Live takes place), but Boaz does his best as he plays the important role of "coffee shop patron" in two episodes.  So he doesn't exactly have a...

Watching a show like Family Guy, you'd expect their office to be a pretty fun work environment.  And you'd be right.  From ping pong to arcade games to lots of snacks, these guys seem to be having a pretty good time.  I mean, it's not...

We posted our 'behind the scenes' segment from Bones a few weeks ago, and a lot of footage was left on the cutting room floor.  But I liked this clip too much not to share it.  We talked to Emily for about twenty minutes, (and I'll admit I...

You may not have heard of The Swell Season, but if you saw the movie Once, then you've heard their music.  Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova were the stars of the amazing little movie with such powerful songs.  They are now touring the US...

This is an outtake from my Lauren Weedman Interview.  I made Lauren some cookies because we had to shift her interview time. I also complied with a bizarre request...

I got a chance to speak with writer/performer Lauren Weedman about her new book A Woman Trapped in a Woman's Body: (Tales from a Life of Cringe) Weedman has an avid following for her gutsy plays and one-woman performances, but her bedrock to fame is...

Shortly after San Diego's Comic-Con, I sat down with cartoonist Stephen Notley to talk about bidis, Gamera, and Bob the Angry Flower. Notley's syndicated Bob the Angry Flower exemplifies the new science-fiction comics...energetically drawn, top-drawer...

Make sure to watch One Life to Live on Monday and Tuesday, (November 5th & 6th), because I'll be on it! No, I won't be speaking or doing anything important- I'll be hiding in the background. Last month I spent a day on the set of the soap opera as an extra or "background actor," (that's the nice way of saying it). But if you pay attention and watch carefully then you should have no trouble finding me. We filmed a fun 'behind the sceens' segment for Backstage Live...
