The Squeeze (Hollywood East)

In this first episode of the Hollywood East podcast, we discuss The Squeeze, a little-known comedy shot in Wilmington in 1986. The Squeeze was one of the first productions shot on the Screen Gems Studio lot as the film industry emerged in the Cape Fear region. Our guest, Dany Moore, was a background actor in this film, and during our interview, we discuss his memories of Wilmington during this era, this particular production, and our mutual appreciation of the film's star, Michael Keaton.
