Filmmaker Joe O’Connell Discusses His Documentary About Rondo Hatton & Bob Burns

Genre documentaries, we can’t get enough of them. I sat down with doc director Joe O’Connell to discuss his new film Rondo and Bob, which delves into two movie icons, Robert “Bob” Burns and Rodon Hatton, who have earned their spots in genre history.
