The Wrong Side of Hollywood

James & Martin are two Brits who grew up in North London. Now, years later find themselves stuck living next door to each other in North Hollywood. Having had varying degrees of success in the film and television industry, the bitter pair will share their experiences of what it’s like being a foreigner living and working in Tinsel Town. They'll be interviewing more successful notables and discussing everything from fish and chips to things that just utterly wind them up.

Welcome to The Wrong Side of Hollywood.
