Joining us to discuss all things Ledger, Fontaine, male co-star Ken Chandler, and everyone’s favorite long-haired business babe, Linda Boyce, is researcher and forgotten film explorer, Shawn D.

So join us for Episode 34, “ The Most Popular Gal in Town ” as we kick start the ignition, engage in a little backseat action, and discuss all…
