Talking Pictures

About Us

Talking Pictures has been in production for 8 years. During that time the program has been honored with 2 Emmy Awards for “Outstanding Achievement in Interview and Discussion Programming” and one for editing.

Talking Pictures has been nominated for the prestigious award 6 times.

Hosted by film reviewers Tony Toscano and Rich Bonaduce, Talking Pictures enjoys a sterling reputation for information, quality interviews and reviews and is a favorite with audiences of all demographics.

Although Talking Pictures is a family-oriented entertainment and informational program, we still offer previews and reviews of today’s hottest films with an understanding eye on rating and content.  On Talking Pictures, each film is presented in a way that most family members can watch.

The show also boasts terrific one on one interviews with the country’s biggest film stars and movie makers.

Unlike other entertainment shows around, Talking Pictures goes a step further than offering a sound bite or two. Tony and Rich’s conversations with Hollywood’s biggest movie makers are insightful, personal and show an informal side to celebrities not often seen.

Each week Rich and Tony review new films hitting theaters as well as new DVD releases and classic films in re-release so viewers can tune in each week to get a “heads up” on the latest films, DVD and Blu-ray.

As a public service to viewers, Talking Pictures not only gives the MPAA ratings in his reviews but also explains why the films are rated that way. This gives the moviegoer (and parents) better and more complete information to help with their movie selections.

Each and every week Talking Pictures presents you with a look at the movie and TV industry in a well-paced format with a wide variety of subject matter including current film reviews, celebrity interviews, new DVD releases, film picks, “first looks” and “behind the scenes” segments.

Tony Toscano is a nationally recognized movie reviewer and film historian whose reviews have appeared in The New York Times, Los Angeles Times and many other newspapers and magazines. Toscano’s wry and humorous style often delivers a different and interesting side of the celebrities he interviews.

When it comes to reviewing films, Tony doesn’t pull any punches and in turn film makers and performers respect his work.

The show is co-hosted by Rich Bonaduce. Rich is a well-rounded performer, musician, screenwriter and reviewer who, like his famous cousin Danny, has been around the entertainment business all his life.

Join us each week as Talking Pictures goes one on one with such household names as Julia Roberts, Johnny Depp, Angelina Jolie, Tom Cruise, George Clooney, Jodie Foster, Jackie Chan, Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kidman or Tom Hanks—or—directors such as Steven Spielberg, Rob Reiner, James Cameron or John Carpenter.

The list goes on and on.
