As you’ve probably noticed in the past few years, one of the things I’ve wanted to do is have some discussions on films from my formative years discovering films, and getting deeper into films, that mean a lot to me. This is one that was bound to be a tough one to get a guest […]
In the latest episode of the Sonic Cinema Podcast, we continue a conversation that began this year at the 2025 Atlanta Film Festival. It’s not often that we return to a filmmaker so quickly after meeting them, but the connection I had with filmmaker Kiera Faber was a meaningful one for both of us. I […]
Because of the lack of the film festival element, it feels as though my annual DragonCon podcast gets shorter and shorter each year. But, it is tradition, and it’s also a nice reprieve from the heavier episodes of the year. I hope you enjoy this year’s episode! Episode 171 – DragonCon 2025 Thanks for listening, […]

It’s interesting how this episode lined up with events around it. My guest and I had been planning for this episode for months, and we happened to have time for it shortly after one of its stars passed away. My guest is a first-timer to the podcast, my dear friend Dawn Echols, and the subject […]
As I began to prepare for my recent episode with Jason from Binge Movies on Fascism in Cinema, it occurred to me that this would be a fascinating ongoing series in the next year or two in American history. For the next episode of the series, we are looking at authoritarian violence and the idea […]
On the next episode of the podcast, I’m joined by a fellow podcaster whom I’ve only talked to on social media, and will be my first new guest on 2025. The topic of the day is Mary Harron’s controversial dark comedy, “American Psycho”, which turns 25 this year. The guest is Pete Abeyta, one of […]
