Chief Counsel Michael Stailey kicks off our Holly Jolly Christmas celebration with writer/director Bob Clark whose films BLACK CHRISTMAS (1974) [Read Judge Bryan Pope's review] and A CHRISTMAS STORY (1983) [Read Judge Bill Gibron's review] make the perfect bookend of classic Christmas DVDs.

Bob gives us the inside story on both pictures, the new remake of BLACK CHRISTMAS (2006) [View the trailer] by Glen Morgan and James Wong (X-Files, Millennium), and several other remakes of his films in the works by Eli Roth, Howard Stern, and Bob himself. Then stick around after the interview for voice mail highlights, and a preview of our new show format kicking off next week!
