At this year's Sundance Film Festival DVD Talk Editor Geoffrey Kleinman sat down and spoke to director Chris Gorak about his film Right At Your Door which takes a look at what happens when Los Angeles gets hit by a 'dirty bomb'. This chilling film is part thriller, part sci-fi and part horror. Lion's Gate Films picked the film up at the festival, so we hope to see it in theaters and on DVD soon. Listen to our interview with Chris Gorak using our Online DVD Talk Radio Player or Download the complete interview with Chris Gorak (11 min 8MB). Also be sure to listen to our recent interviews on DVD Talk Radio with Neil Marshall, Alex Gibney, Craig Brewer, Judy Irving an Joss Whedon.

This weeks Anime Talk has a look at a number of concluding series. The high flying series Area 88 wraps up with its fourth volume with the same quality and high production values that the earlier episodes had. Gantz, on the other hand, finishes up with volume 10 but never resolves the mysteries that have been woven through the show leaving viewers disappointed. We also look at a new show from Nickelodeon, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and the boxed set release of the complete series Zone of the Enders. We also have Holly's Anime Bargains, for those looking to stretch their anime dollars after the holidays, Chris Tribbey with a look at a new romance series that looks promising, Diamond Daydreams, and more all in this week's Anime Talk.
