Guest Podcast: Jersey Shore Shark Attack on The Saturday B-Movie Reel

I recently had the chance of guest co-hosting on The Saturday B-Movie Reel to chat about Jersey Shore Shark Attack and it was an absolute hoot chatting with host Kevin Bachelder and fellow co-host Jon from Boise. We had so much fun with this film that combines the craziness of the reality TV show Jersey Shore setting it as a backdrop and homaging the characters and pitting them against a shark attack. I thought it was so much fun. Check out our chat about it here over at Tuning into SciFi TV.

Jersey Shore Shark Attack aired on on Space on Saturday June 9, 2012. Space is continuing the summer Saturday movie fun with Arachnoquake starring Edward Furlong, Tracey Gold and Bug Hall fighting giant albino spiders on Saturday June 23, 2012 at 9pm EST and Bigfoot starring Danny Bonaduce and Barry Williams facing off on the hunt for the Bigfoot on Saturday June 30, 2012 at 9pm EST.


Jersey Shore Shark Attack Premiered on Space on Saturday, June 9 at 9 p.m. ET

* I'm doing things a bit differently this week as I've had some (more!) tech issues, but that led me to the idea to resurrect vlogging more on the site and in such I will the podcast will actually be the audio from several vlogs thorughout the week at Movie Moxie including My Week in Film (theatrical release, festivals, events & challenges), DVD release and marathons - currently the Bondathon which I already started vlogging anyway! I hope folks are keen on the new direction and oddly the podcast will likely be the least effected as it will incorporated all of the elements it already did, but if you watch a vlog and it's 'sound familiar' this is a heads-up to why :)

Movie Moxie Podcast 58: Michael Biehn & Michael Eklund Interviews,The Divide & Contraband

This is a very special episode of the Movie Moxie Podcast as with the release of The Divide I am also sharing my interviews with actors Michael Biehn and Michael Eklund, whom I spoke with back in October during the Toronto After Dark Film Festival. Also check out transcripts of both interviews (Michael Biehn here and Michael Eklund here) as there was background noise when I speak with them. You can also check out my original vlog interview of The Divide as well as videos from the Introduction Videos from Toronto After Dark Film Festival 2011 with director Xavier Gens and actors Michael Biehn, Jennifer Blanc-Biehn, Milo Ventimiglia and Michael Eklund. Also on this episode I review currently theatrical release of Contraband, check out DVD releases for January 17, 2012 and review Abduction on DVD.

There are lots of different audio pieces this week so and I did my best to make them as close to each other in audio goodness so I hope you can hear everything clearly. As currently customary there added background rumbling is my cat purring. I think he likes the whole podcasting thing :)
