Anthony T is back after a little longer break than expected. He probably wishes he was on that he was still on break as there's a lot of why's and what's in this episode as there are a lot of topics like the first trailer for "The Crow '' reboot, "Late Night with the Devil '' controversy. But the main topics that gets him going are the fact that Dwayne aka "The Rock" needs to have the spotlight and put WWE's three major stars for night two of Wrestlemania in jeopardy of injury so he can main event another Wrestlemania and how some indie horror filmmakers are giving indie horror a bad name by using characters from the public domain to make a quick buck and diminish true independent horror. All of this plus he reviews a recent horror film that has an identity crisis.

We continue to celebrate the female voices that have provided a foundation for cultural advancement and modern discourse by featuring a rare TV talk show appearance by two-time Academy Award winner Vivien Leigh.  The year was 1958. The show was “Small World,” hosted by American broadcast journalist Edward R. Murrow. Appearing alongside Ms. Leigh are motion picture executive Samuel Goldwyn and British writer and entertainment critic Kenneth Tynan.  Ms. Leigh, best known for her work as Scarlett O’Hara in “Gone with the Wind” and Blanche DuBois in “A Streetcar Named Desire,” died in 1967 at the age of 53, but her legacy remains profound. And, while some of the opinions in this broadcast would be considered outdated now, you’ll hear that Ms. Leigh was not afraid to mix it up with some of the most strident male voices of her day. As always, thank you for listening.
