Picture Lock Radio: Ep. 82- Jeanne Marie Spicuzza, Emma Loggins, Creed II Trailer Reaction
Happy Friday folks! I’m really excited about this week’s episode which spans time in regard to the two interviews I have for you, but there was a common thread amongst my guests that I could sum up in one word! Survivor. So I decided, why not do a survivor themed show as I talk with Writer/Producer/Director of The Scarapist Jeanne Marie-Spiccuzza and Editor and Chief of Fanbolt, Emma Loggins. Both of these women were a blast to talk with and I just loved their backstory and how they took life's negatives and turned it into something positive as you’ll hear. I've also got my Creed II trailer reaction which is actually different from this video reaction. I've also got the Picture Lock Question of the Week !

Happy Friday folks! I've got an all-new episode of Picture Lock. This week I talk with Sarah Bunting, the founder of Tomato Nation and fellow film critic. We talk about how she stumbled into film and tv reviewing in the age of dial-up which led to being a big voice in the blogosphere. I also talk with Nicole Franklin, co-writer and director of Title VII, a film focused on same-race discrimination in the workplace and so much more. Picture Lock contributor Richie Wenzler and I give our thoughts on the latest Spider-Man: Into The Spiderverse trailer that dropped earlier this week.
