Legends of Film: Danny Peary

During this episode we talk to Film Writer Danny Peary.  Mr. Peary’s books about film include Cult Movies 1,2,3, Cult Movie Stars, Alternate Oscars, and Guide for the Film Fanatic.  Peary talks about how a movie is defined as a cult movie, and discusses little known facts about Movies @ Main’s feature Night of the Demon (AKA Curse of the Demon).
