Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Gwendolyn Sundstrom on Crystal Lake, Grace’s Killer Twist & Jason Voorhees
Q: What was your reaction when you first read the sequence and realized Grace will be involved in recreating a Friday the 13th moment?
She was excited by the twist and wondered how fans would respond, since Grace's involvement changes the familiar first-kill sequence.
Gwendolyn Sundstrom on Crystal Lake, Grace’s Killer Twist & Jason Voorhees
Q: Grace stands up for Jason in the series. When he's being bullied, what did you want us to understand about their friendship throughout the way she protects him?
Gwendolyn says they are very close and are the only people each other has. Grace cares deeply about Jason and finds it difficult to watch him be bullied, so she stands up for him.
Chandler Riggs on BIOHAZARD: How He Brought Resident Evil 7 to Life
Q: How did you approach bringing Ethan to life on camera?
Riggs centered Ethan's performance on finding Mia and escaping. He shaped Ethan's fear in stages, with the character becoming more frightened as he recognizes that the Baker family may kill him.
Chandler Riggs on BIOHAZARD: How He Brought Resident Evil 7 to Life
Q: What was it about Resident Evil 7 that you wanted to turn this into your own fan film?
Riggs loved the game and felt there had not been a live-action Resident Evil adaptation that was true to the games. A film commissioner for Tampa Bay helped make the project feasible, and Riggs and his collaborators moved forward despite budget and production constraints.
Cindy Sampson on Private Eyes West Coast, Jason Priestley & Angie’s Return
Q: Without giving anything away, is there a particular storyline that you can't wait for the viewers to get their hands on when it comes out? A certain episode?
Sampson picks the surfing episode set in Tofino, where the characters go undercover. She says it features comic disguises, physical comedy and a major fight scene.
