Episode 208: A Little Wilder with Tom Salinsky!

On this episode I'm joined by podcaster, author, actor, and producer Tom Salinsky. My listeners may know Tom as the co-creator and co-host of Best Pick Podcast along with previous Geek4 guest Jessica Regan and (hopefully future guest) John Dorney. Tom joined me to talk about his love for the films of Billy Wilder, who is also one of my favourite directors. Over the course of our conversation, we cover many aspects of a wide variety of Wilder classics and not-so-classics, including The Apartment (1960), Double Indemnity (1944), Some Like It Hot (1959), One, Two Three (1961), and The Emperor Waltz (1953). We also talk about Tom's #TrekaDay project, which you can follow on Twitter, the vulnerability of showing people movies you love, and even speculate about the next actor to play James Bond.
