Brandon is out in LA and ready to celebrate the 16th annual TCM Film Festival. Before he left Illinois, he was able to chat with Scott McGee. Scott is the Senior Director of Original Programming for Turner Classic Movies and is one of the original architects of the Festival. Brandon and Scott discuss many of the highlights that will be featured this year at the Fest.

Front Row Classics is celebrating its 300th episode with one of the most celebrated film authors working today. Brandon is thrilled to welcome historian, author & publisher, Sam Wasson. We discuss Sam's origins as a film fan and what inspired him to write about film. We also discuss his two latest books, "The Big Goodbye" and "The Path to Paradise". This discussion also leads Brandon and Sam to chat about the current and future state of movies.

Front Row Classics is thrilled to welcome back Czar of Noir himself Eddie Muller. Brandon and Eddie chat about the newly revised and expanded edition of "Dark City Dames: The Women Who Defined Film Noir". The book chronicles Eddie's interviews with 6 of noir's greatest 'dames': Audrey Totter, Marie Windsor, Evelyn Keyes, Jane Greer, Ann Savage and Coleen Gray. The revelations they shared with Eddie are often humorous and poignant. Eddie shares his memories of each actress with Brandon and highlights several other women spotlighted in the expanded section.

"Dark City Dames: The Women Who Defined Film Noir" is available from Turner Classic Movies and Running Press wherever books are sold.
