Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

IFWT #167 - Zodiac (2007) [ft. author Eddie McNamara]
Q: What is your overall take on Eddie McNamara's book versus the film's depiction?
Eddie's view is that the film shapes the Zodiac story around investigation and media dynamics, while his book pushes a more evidence-based re-interpretation that questions long-held suspects and the idea that all letters and killings point to a single killer.
IFWT #162 - Interview w/ underground filmmaker Richard Baylor
Q: Why did you stop making films in the early 90s, and what brought you back later?
A mix of family responsibilities, a demanding day job, legal and distribution pressures, and concerns about police and censorship, which paused film production; later, encouragement from Saturn's Core and collaborations rekindled discussion and occasional new work.
IFWT #162 - Interview w/ underground filmmaker Richard Baylor
Q: Was the intention to always be in front of the camera as well as behind it when you started?
Yes, necessity and circumstance; early filmmaking involved showing up, directing, and appearing in scenes because there wasn't a ready-made crew, and over time he embraced acting in some works while focusing on production overall.
IFWT #162 - Interview w/ underground filmmaker Richard Baylor
Q: What brought you to these shores all those years ago in 1984?
A combination of youth culture fascination, love across borders, and military service opportunities; the move was driven by a search for a place where the punk and counterculture scenes could thrive, which led to embedding in the UK scene after joining the Air Force.
IFWT #156 - Freeway 2: Confessions of a Trickbaby [ft. author Tony O'Neill
Q: How did your own background influence the themes you see in Freeway 2 and Six City?
Tony discusses growing up in Blackburn, moving to LA, struggles with addiction, and how those experiences shaped his writing and the noir/underground sensibilities that echo in the film.
