Movie Meltdown - Episode 411
This week we return to our coverage "live" from Fandomfest as we
sit down with our special guest... Paul Michael
Glaser! We discuss everything from Fiddler on the
Roof to Starsky & Hutch. We go into his different
roles over the years from acting to directing to writing. And we
talk about his time working with the likes of Norman Jewison,
Milton Katselas and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Plus along the way, we
begin to examine the way that the new generation approaches
fandom.
And while we try to decide just what is the purpose of fear in our
lives, we also discuss... A Cure for Wellness, Band of the Hand,
degrees of incompletion, the journey is about discovering how you
do it, education and reading, it was a pretty interesting ride, oh

chance. And got my feet wet... and the rest of me soaked."
