Eight for Silver Interview: with Boyd Holbrook, Alistair Petrie and Sean Ellis

<p dir="ltr"><em>Eight for Silver</em> made the <a href= "https://www.alternateending.com/podcast/sundance-2021-preview">Most Anticipated Movies of Sundance lists</a> for both Rob AND Tim.  Despite our often differing tastes, there are still through lines that connect us.  For this film, “extreme violence and gore,” meets werewolves, was all <em>they</em> needed to know.</p> <h2 dir="ltr">I’ll tell you my worry, for this <em>Eight For Silver</em> interview</h2> <p dir="ltr">For starters, Boyd Holbrook and Alistair Petrie.  These two edgy bad-guys top my list of favorites.
