They say your 40s are when you finally get comfortable with who you really are—not who you’re trying to be. It took me until the back half of mine to get there, but I’ve arrived. And here's the truth: I’m a pop culture guy, through and through. TV, movies, music—this stuff isn’t just entertainment to me, it’s the lens I’ve used to view the world for my entire adult life. It’s who I am. No shame, no apologies.

That said, obsessing over the least consequential topics known to man can feel isolating—unless you find your people. Thankfully, I have. I’ve spent the last 18 years with the I-95 Morning Show audience, breaking down every bit of film and TV Hollywood has thrown at us (yes, even the movies shot in “The Valley”).

Look, I get that there are folks out there who love talking stocks, variable interest rates, Italian shoes, and overpriced cigars. That’s cool. They’re people too, just not my people.

So yeah, TV isn’t just a big deal to me—it’s how I learned most of what I know. And if that doesn’t feel valid to you? Kindly piss off.

Exclusive Photos, Videos, and Interviews on the Set of New Milford Horror Movie

"Candlewood" is a horror film that just finished filming in New Milford, CT. This is how the filmmakers described the project on their Indiegogo:

"Candlewood is the first movie of three in the psychological/horror feature film franchise. A blended family moves from the city to a small town in Connecticut, where a local urban legend adds chaos and terror to an already fragile family dynamic. The staunch patriarch, who desperately wants his family to not see him as a failure but as the father that did everything, he could to keep his family together through difficult times. Candlewood follows a family leaving New York City for a simpler life in the country town of New Milford, CT. The haunting and mysterious true stories of missing hikers near a popular state park, Lover's Leap, coupled with the town of Jerusalem sitting at the bottom of Candlewood Lake gives credibility to our narrative. We bring to life the struggle of good vs evil and what happens when lifelong, outdated traditions are challenged."

A while back I got in touch with the folks behind the movie, invited them on the I-95 Morning Show with Ethan, Lou and Dave and talked about the film, and shooting in New Milford. We spoke with Director Myke Furhman and Writer/Executive Producer Victoria Flores-Argue. During that discussion, I demanded to be in the movie, telling the duo that I have some experience acting on TV shows that never actually made it onto TV. Against all odds, they did invite me to participate and I visited the set on October 20th to shoot a scene that is important. I was extremely nervous and I had zero idea of what I was in for. Below are some insider moments from my day on-set and from others.
