One of our favorite movies is "Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon," the mockumentary/horror movie released in 2006. It is a great movie and we were lucky enough to have its director, Scott Glosserman, sit down with us for an interview.
If you haven't seen the movie, then you should Netflix it immediately (it's available as both a DVD and Watch Instantly). You can get the soundtrack at iTunes or Amazon.com, too.
Scott brought along 3 cast members from the movie: Ben Pace, Britain Spellings and Hart Turner and we found out a lot about the movie. Plus, find out what Robert Englund (actor who played Doc Halloran in Behind the Mask and Freddy Kruger in the Nightmare series) is really like!
We had a great time during the interview and hope you enjoy our interview with Scott Glosserman & Co.

We wanted to watch a weekly dinosaur news show, but there were none. So, we decided to make one. This is "Dinosaurs: Before They Were Fuels," the show that covers dinosaur news and olds.
This episode covers a mummified dinosaur, a link between the T. rex and chickens, Walking With Dinosaurs: The Live Experience and time travel.
If you haven't been paying attention, there's been an Olympics going on in China. Maybe you've overheard some coaches yelling at athletes.

Welcome to ChinesePod.com. This is the place to learn Chinese. A billion people speak Chinese, now you can, too.
Plus, ChinesePod has been nice enough to give you ChannelFlip viewers a cool deal for free. Go to the comments section for details.
A DVD Special. We're looking at the "How I Met Your Mother" Season One DVD Set. The television show is good, the special features are good, but what's with the 4:3 aspect ratio? What is this? 1953? They didn't have DVD's then, but get with the program, CBS.
