Chillpak Hollywood Hour – Year 20 Episode 24

This week’s show was recorded during the midst of Phil’s emceeing duties for the third annual Porchfest L.A. He offers a full report on this community event while also regaling with tale of the logistic showdown between Porchfest and No Kings! One of the things Dean and Phil mean when they say it is “your” Chillpak Hollywood Hour is that if you write them, and they find what you wrote interesting, they will read what you wrote on the show and respond to it! Three listeners did just that and so your friends in podcasting roll up their sleeves to discuss more about The Twonky and Suspiria, while offering appreciation for the star of The Twonky (Hans Conried) and the author behind the source material for Don’t Look Now. Dean watched the 1945 Errol Flynn war picture Objective, Burma! (from director Raoul Walsh) and not only has thoughts about it, but about the life and death of the great and troubled star. Phil caught up with a movie he has been dying to see since it debuted at Cannes in 2025, and found himself … unmoved. The show concludes with a Hitchcock double feature (The 39 Steps and North by Northwest), followed by a horror double feature (Psycho and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre).
