Plan9Crunch Podcast 4: Talking Ed Wood with Joe Blevins, Author/Blogger
Plan9Crunch's Doug Gibson and Joseph Gibson interview Edward D Wood Jr expert Joe Blevins. Joe is the host of the indispensable Ed Wood Wednesdays Blog and co-author of the biography, Dad Made Dirty Movies, of Stephen C Apostolof, who directed films Ed Wood was involved with late in his career. Blevins offers tremendous insights into Ed Wood's life and career, including who Blevins thinks should star in a sequel to Ed Wood, the biopic directed by Tim Burton.
