    The Screenwriter And Malibu Squatter - Ellie Mae McNulty

    Sandy takes you with her as we discover a private beach in Malibu's beautiful Point Dume area to discuss Elli Mae McNulty, an actor turned screenwriter who allegedly exploits California’s tenancy laws to turn casual stays into protracted eviction wars. When asked to leave the premises, this English Rose transforms into a nasty piece of work. You wouldn’t want to have tea with this woman at separate restaurants. Quoting Vanity Fair writers, Bradley Hope and Tom Wright, “Sure, let a neighbor use the guest room for a few nights.

    The Missing Screenwriter Found With No Hands

    In honor of my friend Linda Mazur, we are replaying one of my favorite episodes: the little-known mystery of the 1997 disappearance of screenwriter Gary Devore.  Gary was returning home after working out the ending of his latest script, which he claimed would blow the lid off government secrets, when he disappeared without a trace.  Did Gary step out to “buy a pack of cigarettes,” or was he met with foul play?   We’ll delve into what happened that fateful night and revisit the rumors and conspiracy theories that continue to baffle and disturb people.   Executive Producer Kristin Overn Executive Producer Sandy Adomaitis Producer Terry Sampson Music by Ethan Stoller

    Poltergeist: Hollywood's Most Cursed Film Ft. Michael McManus

    Rewind. Sandy and Terry discuss *Poltergeist*, one of America's most beloved horror films, which may indeed be the most cursed film in Hollywood history. Released by MGM on June 4, 1982, and written by Steven Spielberg, Michael Grais, and Mark Victor, *Poltergeist* is rumored to be cursed because real human skeletons were used in a pivotal scene. This curse is believed to have led to the tragic deaths of three individuals in brutal and devastating circumstances. We'll also talk to writer and actor Michael McManus, who played Ben Tuthill, the neighbor next door, to get the real story of what happened. 👍 If you enjoy the show, please remember to follow us and leave a review wherever you listen to podcasts.

    Being Walter Wolf – Hollywood Producer to Professional Interventionist

    On today’s episode, we have Walter Wolf, the author of The Right Rehab: A Guide to Addiction and Mental Illness Recovery When Crisis Hits Your Family. This step-by-step guide outlines how to identify and access treatment options for individuals and families, regardless of their resources. Writers, I want to share this book with you because being creative isn’t easy. If you need help, options are available. This book is also an excellent resource if you're writing about addiction.   We need to talk about Walter Wolff. Walter Wolff is a pen name, and the man behind it promised a loved one privacy. Before, as you will soon learn, a phone call changed his life; Walter was a producer in Hollywood for over 30 years.  Now, he is an interventionist and treatment placement specialist.   We also break down the movie 28 Days, starring Sandra Bullock, through the lens of Walter Wolf.   Warning: the subject matter we discuss can be triggering.  The PAGE International Screenwriting Awards sponsors the WRITERS' HANGOUT.
