Summary: An oddly serendipitous number for this episode. 42. This episode is about <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0714184/" target="_blank">Michael Reaves</a> and the script he wrote for a movie called <a href="http://bloodkissmovie.com/" target="_blank">Blood Kiss</a>.<br> I say that because <a href="http://bloodkissmovie.com" target="_blank">Blood Kiss</a>, for all the trials and tribulations it’s had trying to get made, is definitely set to star Neil Gaiman, y’know .. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sandman_(Vertigo)" target="_blank">Sandman</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufR8Zzahrac" target="_blank">MirrorMask</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyoXURn9oK0" target="_blank">American Gods</a> … yeah that one. I suffer over this because as much as I love Mr. G as much today as I did the one time I managed to briefly meet him as an idealistic but insecure teenager back in 1997 (look I have proof) …<br> <a href="http://i0.wp.com/zxh-creative.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/signed.jpg"></a><br> This isn’t about him.<br> Yes, it’s our 42nd episode. And yes, of course, Neil Gaiman wrote what I (and I’m sure many others) consider the definitive biography on Douglas Adams. There’s just no getting around that. But this episode is about <a href="http://bloodkissmovie.com" target="_blank">Blood Kiss</a>.<br> <a href="http://i2.wp.com/zxh-creative.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/BK-Poster2.jpg"></a><br> I say this in all seriousness: Ignore all that business about Neil Gaiman. He’s great, but this isn’t an episode about Neil Gaiman’s potential foray into acting. This is an episode about a great story, by a great writer named <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0714184/" target="_blank">Michael Reaves </a>which will hopefully get made into a movie that we can all enjoy. It’s an episode about a Noir Vampire story, set in 1940’s Los Angeles, written by someone who (if you’re about my age, and grew up with American TV) wrote a lot of amazing things that you remember fondly from childhood and probably helped make you who you are today.<br> This week I sit down with producers David Raiklen and Sarah Char, with some digitally assisted Q&A from Michael himself, about a movie they’re trying to get made called <a href="http://bloodkissmovie.com" target="_blank">Blood Kiss</a>.<br> <a href="http://i0.wp.com/zxh-creative.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/BK-Poster1.jpg"></a><br> It’s about <a href="http://bloodkissmovie.com" target="_blank">Blood Kiss</a>.<br> So listen to us talk about the movie in all it’s wonkish production nerd glory. Get excited about the movie. Tell your friends about the movie. Help get the movie made.<br> This is our episode about <a href="http://bloodkissmovie.com" target="_blank">Blood Kiss</a>. Enjoy.<br> I should also mention that next week we have <a href="http://www.sciencecomedian.com" target="_blank">THE Science Comedian Brian Malow</a> returning to the show for a very fun time discussing his hosting of a Nobel Laureate meeting in Germany and exploring CERN, and the week after that we have the brilliant <a href="http://howtobeastoic.org" target="_blank">Massimo Pigliucci</a> discussing Stoicism and how to deal with life in general.<br> I don’t mean to brag, but we’ve had a pretty good month.<br> <br> amzn_assoc_placement = "adunit0";<br> amzn_assoc_search_bar = "true";<br> amzn_assoc_tracking_id = "zxcr-20";<br> amzn_assoc_ad_mode = "manual";<br> amzn_assoc_ad_type = "smart";<br> amzn_assoc_marketplace = "amazon";<br> amzn_assoc_region = "US";<br> amzn_assoc_title = "From Guests of the Show";<br> amzn_assoc_linkid = "f8f2941afc01beac7b0a804f20960bae";<br> amzn_assoc_asins = "1449479677,0982853718,B005FYCGIK,B00TA2IB7I";<br> <br>
