Horror veteran and Rob Zombie ensemble player Jeff Daniel Phillips braves The Plank this week, in a very special Christmas edition. Jeff talks about his long running stint as the Geico Caveman, filling the (big) shoes of a legendary Munster, and his directorial debut: the trippy, genre-bending tour-de-force CURSED IN BAJA.

Character actor extraordinaire Sean Whalen walks The Plank today, discussing PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS, why the Got Milk? Commercial was such a sensation, and his directorial debut: the wacky (and heartfelt) horror comedy, CRUST.

Please join Jillian and Josh as they interview icon Hana Mae Lee, discussing everything from her work on ABRUPTIO to her PITCH PERFECT legacy and what it means to be a BABYSITTER!

Daniel Roebuck stops by THE PLANK to wax romantic on his storied career, from MATLOCK TO MUNSTER. This jam-packed episode touches on true Hollywood tales, triumphs in front of (and behind) the camera, and Daniel's recent work on Sean Whalen's CRUST.

New York writer / director / artist Dean Dempsey is as fascinating as his undiscovered films - which makes it our true privilege to both interview him and give a proper release to Dean's masterful features, CANDY APPLE and DEADMAN'S BARSTOOL. Dean's films embody the randomness and charm of the Big Apple, shining a light on the characters in his life (some real, some fictional) and adding another chapter to the rich sub-genre of "punk rock cinema."

Veteran writer/director Chris Sivertson takes Josh and Jillian through his storied career, including his early collaboration with Lucky McKee on ALL CHEERLEADERS DIE, and his recent work with Christina Ricci on the hit MONSTROUS. No two Chris Sivertson films are exactly a like - but all definitely show his unique voice and undeniable mastery of genre.

Director Michael Kallio is an Anchor Bay alumni, having released his debut feature HATRED OF A MINUTE with the original label many years back. He stops by the office to discuss his history as a Michigan filmmaker, his relationship with fellow ABE stalwart Bruce Campbell, and how his friendship with the late Gunnar Hansen inspired his latest project, DINNER WITH LEATHERFACE, a documentary eight years in the making.
