About the show.
"Movie Show Plus" has been a staple on Detroit Television for over two decades. Re-launched and re-imagined in 2018, the show was one of the only ongoing movie-themed shows produced in Detroit, MI, until 2023. The show features host and show creator Greg Russell with a weekly dose of his A-List celebrity interviews and feature stories (see below for more info on Greg!). It also features reviews of the latest movies, with film critic Tom Santilli (TomSantilli.com). The "Plus" in the title means that there is much more to "Movie Show Plus" than just celebrity interviews and reviews. Be sure to tell Greg and Tom what you think by following them on Twitter (see links below)
