On August 11, film critics and comedians roast yours truly and my amusing award-winning movie memoir, Confessions of a Movie Addict, on the Movie Addict Headquarters show. A book giveaway will also be included in this celebration of the memoir’s fourth anniversary as a Kindle E-book. Warren Epstein, Nancy Lombardo, Diana Saenger, James Colt Harrison and A.J. Hakari join in the fun.

Warren Epstein, a stand-up comic who now serves as Arts & Culture Editor for the Colorado Springs Gazette, and comedian Nancy Lombardo, host of the hilarious Comedy Concepts show on BlogTalkRadio, represent the world of comedy in this special episode. Movie critics sharing their reactions are film historian James Colt Harrison, entertainment journalist Diana Saenger, and Mad Movie Man  A.J. Hakari. 

The paperback edition of Confessions of a Movie Addict won First Place in the memoir category at the 2012 Royal Dragonfly Book Awards competition. The book chronicles my love affair with the cinema, one that’s lasted over half a century. I have included personal movie-related anecdotes and behind-the-scenes information about the entertainment industry as well as favorite celebrity interviews, hilarious encounters with film personnel, and over 70 reviews of movies released during 2000 and 2001. 

Critic James Colt Harrison says, “If Oscars were given out for the funniest book of the year, CONFESSIONS OF A MOVIE ADDICT would win hands down.”

Author’s royalties for this book are donated to The Film Foundation, a non-profit organization founded by Martin Scorsese to help with film preservation.  

“Confessions of a Movie Addict & Book Giveaway” airs on BlogTalkRadio at 4 p.m. Eastern Time (1 p.m. Pacific Time) on Tuesday, August 11, 2015. During the live show, listeners are invited to call in and to participate in a chat. An archived segment will also be available.
