On Sunday, July 22, MOVIE GEEKS UNITED!, one of the most popular motion picture-themed radio programs on the internet,  will broadcast a special 2- hour tribute to legendary director BRIAN DE PALMA from 6 – 8pm (EST).  The broadcast, which will be made available live or on replay via their website at www.blogtalkradio.com/moviegeeksunited, will feature interviews with several of De Palma's creative collaborators, as well as film scholars who admire his work.

"From 'Carrie' to 'The Untouchables' to 'Mission: Impossible'," says Jamey DuVall, producer, writer, and co-host of Movie Geeks United!, "Brian De Palma has thrilled audiences as an unparalleled master of suspense and, in the process, he has influenced an entire new generation of filmmakers."

An internet radio show hosted by three knowledgeable, passionate and hysterically funny cinematic fanatics, Movie Geeks United! features weekly movie talk on subjects as diverse as "The Big Lebowski" and "Can Movies Inspire Real-Life Violence?" The show airs live every week at 6pm eastern/5 pm central at www.blogtalkradio.com/moviegeeksunited.  Previously, the Movie Geeks paid tribute to the cinematic genius of David Lynch and acting icon Al Pacino; broadcasts which are now available on archive. Listeners may tune in during the live broadcast or download or replay any episode for free once archived. People may also subscribe to the podcast through ITunes and a variety of other venues.

Interview subjects for the De Palma tribute are currently in the confirmation stages.  Announcements will be made concerning the broadcast line-up at a future date.

"De Palma is a legendary filmmaker who does not receive enough recognition for his undeniable contributions to the art form," DuVall continues. "This is a slight that myself, and my fellow Movie Geek hosts Chris and Jerry, hope to rectify with this program."
