Third Eye Cinema 5/6/12 with Mike Vraney

Welcome to Third Eye Cinema!  Tonight we interview Mike Vraney of Something Weird Video! Mike has been a major and early force in preservation of drive-in, grindhouse, and American independent film, dating back to the late '70s.  Well before the advent of DVD or the publishing of a proliferation of cult cinema related literature and interest, Mike was out there making connections and gathering decaying prints from distributors, filmmakers, and fleapit grindhouses, so that we could still enjoy them 30 years later! Early champion of such formerly unsung directors as Joe Sarno, Herschell Gordon Lewis, Doris Wishman, Mike and Roberta Findlay, Barry Mahon and Coffin Joe, Mike has also preserved entire genres of drive in and grindhouse film that were ignored, denigrated, and could easily have been lost forever in those dark days of the 70’s and 80’s – the JD film, the burlesque film, the classroom or industrial film, the nudie.

Third Eye Cinema 4/22/12 with David Heavener

Welcome to Third Eye Cinema!  Tonight we speak with renaissance man David Heavener!   Initially making his mark in Nashville, penning tunes for well known country music singers before moving out to L.A. to compose for television and film, in short order and with no real experience, David found himself thrust into the roles of actor, writer and finally director of his own unique and unusual series of hard edged action films, which unusually for independent cinema, were often solidly peopled with well known Hollywoood stars!   After a brief return to music where he released and toured his own album, David has returned to the world of filmmaking, most recently in the field of horror with such titles as Evil Grave: Curse of the Maya and Confessions of an Exorcist.   Join us as we speak to the one and only David Heavener, only here on Third Eye Cinema!   thirdeyecinema@hotmail.com http://www.facebook.com/ThirdEyeCinema

Third Eye Cinema 4/15/12 Huntress and Skull Fist

Tonight on Third Eye Cinema: we're talking music! First up, an interview with "witchy woman" Jill Janus of Huntress!  A trained opera singer in her teens, associated with Playboy and having worked as a touring DJ for years, Jill has found her true vocation in the world of metal!  A practicing witch and intense vocalist, Jill and Huntress deliver some traditional inflected, Abigail-era King Diamond style metal with a modern flair!   Join us as we speak of Puccini, Hef, and the goddess, only here on Third Eye Cinema! Next up: we speak with wild man Jackie Slaughter of Skull Fist!  A former skatepunk who "saw the light" of fretboard worship, Jackie has come out of nowhere with a truly retro-traditional metal look and sound, all the more amazing for being produced in this day and age, by a band too young to have been there the first time around!  Fans of flashy guitar pyrotechnics ala TNT, Yngwie Malmsteen, Vinnie Vincent, Nitro, and Racer X must...and I mean MUST tune in for this one.  Join us for the first of our discussions with bands in the retro-traditional metal revival, when we speak to guitar virtuoso Jackie Slaughter of Skull Fist! thirdeyecinema@hotmail.com http://www.facebook.com/ThirdEyeCinema
