Chillpak Hollywood Hour #293
December 24, 2012 | 
Author Happy Christmas, everybody!
This week’s show gets off to a flying start with a recap of the “Live Event of the Week” – the 28 hour marathon co-hosted by your friends in podcasting to ring in the end of the Mayan Calendar.
Dean discusses his road trip from hell.
Phil discusses catching up on some 2012 movies.
Dean and Phil revisit last’s week’s show all about the Top Films of All Time by looking at what directors had films mentioned most often on the lists submitted by guests of YOUR Chillpak Hollywood Hour.
The show wraps up with a personal “Celebrity Death”, a wonderful character actor who was helping Dean and Phil in the development of their new film, The Lady Killers.
Speaking of The Lady Killers, please take the time to learn more about the film and how you can help (and PLEASE, spread the word!), by visiting here.
And if you’ve never seen Dean and Phil’s film The Truth is Out There . . . Why haven’t you? It’s available here.
Finally, we hope you will enjoy this holiday greeting from your friends in podcasting …
