Anthony did some facebooking with Roger Ebert while Kris learns that only Siskel is gone. The past week, while completely redesigning the Gratwick Films website (Again) Kris taught himself how to write html code. (A growing necessity seeing how Anthony has proven incapable or unwilling to do what he was originally hired to do.)  We introduce society to an 8secondworld for an 8secondlifestyle an idea Kris used to teach himself the basics of website building.(8secondworld has been moved to the back burner due to time availability) Kris explains what it will take for Marijuana to be completely legal, when and why it relates to autonomous cars that drive themselves. How the hell did Adam Sandler get Johnny Depp and Al Pacino in Jack and Jill? What the best websites are for everything you need to host a real professional website for NOTHING! Tech Talk, Weekly Round up (Kris explains why he uses a silhouette as his logo) and the state of the world plus much more so tune in and spread the fun. Best. Gratcast. Ever.

Anthony and Kris are back after a week off. A recap of the week that was includes a run down of all of our shows now listed in itunes (Gratcast, My weekly facebook roundup and Tech Talk) The Steve Jobs - Adobe beef from twenty years ago led to a logistical nightmare with linking up youtube and itunes this week.  Lights, Camera, Action is on the look out for a new cohost, facing copyright violations and more due to Anthony's "short cuts".   Anthony bullshits about why fixing it until you break it isn't always a bad

Kris and Anthony speak their mind this week as the divide continues to grow wider. We kinda wing it and show you a more down to earth side as we shuffle through another week of tough decisions. Whitney Houston, our Charity Campaign and Anthony the rampant pirate now claims he gets free movie tickets as well!

The official relaunch of Gratwick Films. Both The Perfect House and Gratwick Films websites are brand new, (Their current state is after the redesign was redesigned, because Anthony didn't have the knowledge or ability to build websites so he was ultimately fired and the job fell back to Kris to teach himself) The Super Bowl is on everyones minds and we give all the dirty details on our month long celebration of Women in Horror Month. Our charity partnership with The Breast Cancer Research Foundation and The Perfect House will be raising money for Breast Cancer Awareness. The Perfect House is only $1.30 all month long with a 30 cent donation for every view made to the charity. We also share a secret tip about how you can see the poster for The Perfect House 2 before its released this Tuesday to the public.

The relaunch of Gratwick Films We talk about our new facebook show -- help us find a title.  Kris shares with Gratcast a secret trick for how to remember a comment or a point he wants to make. He has deemed it the pinky tactic.  We talk about debut of the new poster for The Perfect House 2, made by Chris Barber.   We have decided to run a month long charity campaign for Breast Cancer Awareness in honor of Women in Horror. Much to the dismay of Anthony, Steve Jobs has inspired an identity for Gratwick Films, an identity we are committed to regardless of Anthony's reservations for prejudice. Building off the shoulders of Steve Jobs we debate how we are going to revolutionize the entertainment industry. Hindsight once again reveals the many ways Anthony exposed himself as some one that has no truth or integrity in his words as he makes more commitments promise and obligations he will ultimately defile and abuse.

Conspiracy Theories, Secret Societies, JFK, SOPA and Google This weeks Gratcast covers what happens when you place a hard drive in a precarious position and accidentally erase the last 2 years of your life.  We have another new show debuting this week - My facebook roundup hosted by Kris Hulbert.  A weekly recap of all the wild, ridiculous and sexy things tocome across Kris's newsfeed. After that we get into a discussion about a tale of the times. Covering everything from SOPA and current event controversies to JFK, secret societies and the true evil in the copyright wars: Google.

We talk Virtual Pitch Fest Virtualpitchfest is a website for screenwriters to submit loglines to Hollywood Producers, Agents and Managers. Apparently Anthony is not only making a 3d version of The Perfect House but he's also bringing back claymations! He tells us all about two more things he will never follow through on.  Speaking of false hopes Anthony updates us on where he is at with the web design. We debut a new web series Tech Talk with Andrea Vahl.  Anthony thinks he is going to be on the air a lot more in the near future, you might even see his 70's shampoo commercial mug on youvisiontv soon. We announce when the poster and synopsis for The Perfect House 2 will be released and is Kris really thinking about doing stand up comedy?

Gratcast is back and gearing up for a huge 2012. New Gratcast co-host Anthony Ferrara is ready to help grow and blossom into the flagship show for Gratwick Films entertainment. We review Jay-z's book Decoded and how it is very symbolic of the American culture. Kris tries to broaden Anthony's narrow mind and get him to open his eyes to the power and inspiration that comes from Jay-Z's words and lyrics.  Sometimes breaking rules in society and specifically Hollywood is the only way to get ahead. We discuss what rules we've broken along the way.  A famous Hollywood mantra 'give me the same thing only different' is perfectly demonstrated in Joss Whedon's 'Cabin in the Woods'. We have some updates on TPH2.   We wrap up with a recap of where we are headed in 2012. The show will be back formally with brand new episodes every week starting Feb 1, 2012.  Look for Gratcast and all the latest shows and projects from Gratwick Films. Watch the #1 horror movie on facebook The Perfect House.

Things have changed drastically over the last few months Some by choice, some forced on us by the selfish, short sighted choices of the individuals who have put themselves ahead of the team they joined. When we started Gratwick Films it was based on a family first commitment to each other, founded in loyalty and integrity. Those are great philosophies to follow when things are going good, but true colors are revealed when adversity and the toll of time set in. Traitors and weak character is all around as the wolves circle in because they didn't achieve over night riches. It's a shame that a few people didn't stop to look around and see how far we have come compared to those around us that chose to remain alone and pursue their dreams as an individual. It's a sad but brutally honest Gratcast, as we deal with the changes and the reason behind those changes head on. This is the episode we finally explain what happened with Will Robertson and why he is no longer associated with Gratwick Films. It was a choice he made, not a choice we wanted. But a choice that revealed who he truly was all along.

New host new plans. Anthony takes over as co-host of Gratcast. We start off with a craigslist tip for all aspiring freelancers and spiral into a talk about lessons learned along the way. Anthony had the unique experience of climbing on board the TPHtour for a couple weeks. In fact the first time he met the Gratwick Gang was when the TPHmobile pulled into his small town of Avoca, NY. Before that, the TPHtour went through the worst heat wave in Texas history and ran into a Motel in Key West. The Key West community was pretty small and quite uptight, our four day mini Vacation felt more like fugitives hiding out. We also discuss what went wrong with the technology surrounding our facebook release and why it left us dead in the water. We play sim movie maker as we build million dollar budgets for future films. Hind Sight will prove to 20/20 someday - as Anthony goes on record claiming he is in this for all the right reasons and how he understands it's a sacrifice and commitment that needs to be made for the long haul and it's not about the money. Words that will come back to haunt him, over the next few months. We have one of our first of many arguments while debating PS3 vs. Xbox. Tribute is paid to a world class NHL '12 online defenseman Mike Hawksbee. Anthony makes his first of many empty claims regarding his ability to rebuild the company websites. We have another of our many fortuitous conversations when we debate the benefits of hiring strangers who do a job and that's it. Or choosing friends who act entitled and have little or no respect for the opportunities they are handed.

Special Guest Dan Gambino Gratcast is on the road! We couldn't pull off a grand scale cross country tour, so we bought an RV, borrowed a projector and hit the open road. Our goal is to travel 12,000 miles around the outskirts of the United States hosting Guerrilla screens along the way for gas money donations. After stops/breakdowns in Austin and New Orleans we have made it to the friendly confines of the Gambino home in Tampa, Fl. This weeks Gratcast on the road comes from Dan Gambino's garage in Tampa, FL. Here the latest up to the minute details on the entire tour so far and also find out about upcoming shows! Special guest Andrea Vahl and our host Dan Gambino. Video Gratcast

It's tough times for Gratwick and company. We are less than a few week away from our drop dead date to pull off a cross country tour.  We are still looking for sponsorship partners and investors for our publicity and marketing campaign.  If you listen to this episode and know anyone who might toss us a lifeline, connect them to us! Video Gratcast

We took an unexcused absence from Gratcast for two weeks. But Gratcast is back! This episode's all about what has kept us from our true love.  Mainly NHL '10. NO! It was once again playoff time and the Chicago Blackhawks made another deep Stanley Cup playoff run. The true reason was our journey through the dark corridors of Hollywood's Public Relations house of horrors. But we made it out alive! AND with good news... Video Gratcast

Special Guest John Hoadley Kris had an important business meeting (beer) so Will and guest-host John Hoadley will be your guides through episode 20 of Gratcast. John sits in and discusses what it's been like to watch the growth of Gratwick Films and be a roommate in the house that never sits still. Will debates whether or not this is the beginning of our triumphant 3rd act or the inevitable down fall? Video Gratcast

This week on Gratcast, Kris and Will did a lot of stuff. A friend of Gratcast, Ken Consentino was in town and we took him to Warner Brothers for a little lunch on the lot. Afterwards, we watched as Ken and his (male) friend re-enacted the famous Spider-Man/Mary Jane kiss hanging upside down from a fake fire escape in a back alley set on the lot. Will watched Green Lantern and was less than pleased. Kris has beefs with 1.) The Omen 2.) Kevin Smith and 3.) Rutgers University (yes that wound is still healing). Kris also runs the numbers on The Perfect House Tour's ad plan. By our calculations we can achieve more than 100 million impressions with a $100,000 marketing and tour campaign. We started watching Oz too! And Blood Wrestling from GratFest 1 is on YouTube! Video Gratcast
