Below The Belt Show (www.belowthebeltshow.com) brings to you our second of three Holiday/Christmas Shows! This week we present our final exclusive on-location interview from Monstermania (www.monstermania.net) in Oaks, PA! BTB’s own Chachi McFly talks to actor Bradley Gregg who portrays Eyeball Chambers in the iconic “Stand By Me”, as well as roles in Nightmare on Elm Street: Dream Warriors and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Bradley talks about his past work, working closely with River Phoenix, Robert Englund and Harrison Ford and much more! Don’t miss it!

In addition we present an interview with Director Amin Matalqa and film subject Cyndi Bunch in the heartwarming feature film “5000 Blankets”. The film is based on a true story about a husband that “has a mental breakdown and goes missing and a woman and her young son set out to find him on the streets, sparking a movement that inspires a city.” We talk to Amin about how he got involved in the film and the casting process with Anna Camp, Rob Mayes and Carson Minniear, whether the film should be considered a Christmas movie and more. We talk to Cyndi about her thoughts on how Anna Camp portrayed herself and her family as well as which aspects of the film are factual and which parts may have been dramatized.
