Funny interview video clip - Just released!

In what is believed to be one of the most violent celebrity book interviews ever recorded, investigative reporter Lawrence Carpetburner (actor and comedian Jim Meskimen) comes face to fist with sailor Kurt Reid (actor Paul Ganus), an explosive character from author L. Ron Hubbard's murder mystery pulp "Spy Killer."



What began as the latest hard-nosed, smoke-filled chapter in Carpetburner's "Elbows on the Table" interviews of fictional Hubbard characters quickly spirals out of control when the always tactless reporter touches one raw nerve too many.
"I should have known that the rough and tumble first mate of the ship Rangoon couldn't take the heat of my penetrating questions," said Carpetburner, holding a piece of raw porterhouse steak on his swollen black eye. "It just goes to show how sordid, seamy, and violent this whole 'Spy Killer' business becomes."
The Elbows on the Table series (available at http://www.elbowsonthetable.com/ or www.youtube.com/elbowsonthetable) was conceived by Carpetburner (aka Meskimen) to explore the wealth of original characters drawn from the Stories from the Golden Age fiction series of novels and audiobooks (Galaxy Press, 2009).
"We're having a blast creating these quirky interviews," said Meskimen. "The mock interview format allows us to have fun bringing these vividly-written characters off the page so we can enjoy them in the flesh, face to face."
The Stories from the Golden Age is a collection of 153 stories written by L. Ron Hubbard using one of his 15 pen names during the 1930s and '40s. Hubbard wrote in several genres, ranging from science fiction and fantasy, to action-adventure, mystery and western, and even a bit of romance. These stories have been reproduced in their original format as both a trade paperback using original pulp artwork and inside illustrations, and as unabridged, multi-cast audiobooks with original music and fully-produced, movie-like sound effects.
