Grindhouse
XM Satellite Radio's sound track music channel, Cinemagic (ch 27), is hosting Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez - the men behind the Grindhouse double feature - tomorrow, April 2nd at 2pm ET Thursday, April 5th at 5pm ET. 

The hour-long interview with Quentin and Robert will look into the concept behind Grindhouse, who both wrote and directed two horror movies that make up the Grindhosue double feature (complete with fake movie trailers in between both features).

We'll also learn what attracted them to make films of the exploitation genre and how far they felt they pushed the boundaries of film making.

UPDATE: Seems that I got my signals crossed, the Grindhouse interview will be on Thursday, April 5th at 5pm ET. Sorry about that.
