Spector Vision Radio.

So we're about to jump into a great conversation with a fantastic filmmaker.

But before we do, we had a little bit of house clean.

Joe, you were telling me before you've got a book that you loved.

Well, I, I, you're a Philly guy, right?

A funny guy?

A Philly.

A Philly guy?

Yes. Yes, I'm a Philly guy.

Well, I read this book that I think you would like. It's called The Phantom of Skid Row by Harry Ringle.

And he sent me the galleys of this book about, I don't know, almost a year ago. And I thought it was really

interesting, but I deleted it before I got to the end.

And so it's now published, and you can find it on Amazon.

And he sent me a copy of the book.

And it's a very interesting, creepy story about a haunted grind house in 1960s, Philadelphia, and I happen to have

some expertise on that.

I was going to say, yes.

Is Young Joe Dante in this book?

No, no, but he could be if he was a little more obese.

It's a really offbeat book, it's very well written and it's

kind of moving. But it's also scary. And it's the ambience, the seedy ambience of that era

of the dying film row in Philadelphia is really very well caught. And anyway, I did a blurb forward on Amazon, but I recommend it.
