Sup Ricks,
Even though I do not have a show anymore, I still try to do as many interviews as I possibly can for my website, www.bdkreviews.com.  I recently spoke with "HALLOWEEN 2" director, ROB ZOMBIE and you can find that interview by clicking here: http://www.bdkreviews.com/podcasts/

.  
I also sat down with "The Goods: Live Hard. Sell Hard." cast and you can listen to all of those interviews at www.bdkreviews.com.  
One thing that I wanted to bring up and feel free to comment on this, is how much of a masterpiece "DISTRICT 9" truly is.  Peter Jackson was recently quoted in "Entertainment Weekly" about the fact that this film is so different from anything you will ever see.  Does different necessarily mean good? No.  But, what if you have a different movie that works on an emotional level and is just truly great cinema?  That, in my opinion warrants the term "Masterpiece."  I know that should not be thrown around a lot but this film deserves it.  The Sports Junkies and I talked to the lead star of the film, Sharlto Copley, on Friday morning and he said that all of his lines were improvised and that for all of the interactions between him and the aliens, he was talking to a guy in a grey suit.  That way, he was still able to show his true emotions.  The movie is not just about action.  It has many other darker themes to it and you will see those when you see the film.  The film is directed by first time director, NEILL BLOMKAMP, and PRESENTED by Peter Jackson.  Many people think Peter Jackson directed this film.  He merely produced and presented it, much like Tarantino does with films like "Hostel" and "Hero."  This was all Blomkamp.  Check out the interview The Sports Junkies and I did with the lead star.  He talks about how he was cast in this movie by mistake.  http://cstvpodcast.cstv.com.edgesui
