Up next week: The Woman in Black! Sooooooo exciting :)

This is a very special episode of the Movie Moxie Podcast as with the release of The Divide I am also sharing my interviews with actors Michael Biehn and Michael Eklund, whom I spoke with back in October during the Toronto After Dark Film Festival. Also check out transcripts of both interviews (Michael Biehn here and Michael Eklund here) as there was background noise when I speak with them. You can also check out my original vlog interview of The Divide as well as videos from the Introduction Videos from Toronto After Dark Film Festival 2011 with director Xavier Gens and actors Michael Biehn, Jennifer Blanc-Biehn, Milo Ventimiglia and Michael Eklund. Also on this episode I review currently theatrical release of Contraband, check out DVD releases for January 17, 2012 and review Abduction on DVD.

There are lots of different audio pieces this week so and I did my best to make them as close to each other in audio goodness so I hope you can hear everything clearly. As currently customary there added background rumbling is my cat purring. I think he likes the whole podcasting thing :)
