Our guest this week was film producer Matthew G. Zamias. His two latest films are in post-production: the action/thriller "Hotel Tehran" starring Liam Neeson about a group of disgraced, war torn ex-CIA operators set out to Tehran to take down a life changing score and the buddy comedy "Going there" about a woman impersonating her sister to chase an ex in Israel, but gets stuck with a tour group and must dodge a suspicious soldier while keeping her cover—and her goal—in sight.
