Talking Pictures

Talking Pictures Info

The TV version of Talking Pictures has been in production for 10 years, and during that time it has been nominated for an Emmy Award six times and has been honored with two; one for “Outstanding Achievement in Interview and Discussion Programming” and one for Editing.

Talking Pictures was also recognized with the 2010 Contribution To The Arts Award from Utah Power and Industry.

Hosted by film reviewer and celebrity interviewer Tony Toscano, 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.  Talking Pictures presents a look at movies 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’s conversations with Hollywood’s biggest movie makers are insightful, personal and offers an informal side to celebrities not often seen.

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

As a public service to viewers, Talking Pictures not only gives the MPAA ratings (G – PG – PG-13 – R & NC-17) 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.

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.
