I had a wonderful time talking to Burt about the Reel AND Real life tough guy Lawrence Tierney. Lawrence was a fascinating man, who could recite poetry, knew all the classics, and was a brawler with multiple arrests. Was he bad to the bone, just b b bad, or misunderstood? His career spanned decades, with lots of droughts in between. Grab a cup of joe, hot chocolate, a glass of vino, or your bevera...

I found the delightful Brian while I was searching for info on a really creepy B flick, Stark Fear. When I found the blog I spent a couple hours reading Brian's reviews and behind the scenes info.

Unfortunately...
