Hello readers and listeners! It’s time, once again, to dive back into the movie year of 1999, and this is a fun, silly movie to finish off the summer with. The film is Renny Harlin’s “Deep Blue Sea”, and joining me in discussing it is podcaster Robert Yaniz Jr. of Crooked Table Productions and the […]
In this episode of the podcast, we take a left turn into anime, and a long-running manga character and a couple of their adventures. The character is the colorful and arrogant but wonderful Lupin the 3rd. Bringing two of the character’s adventures- “Jigen’s Gravestone” and “Goeman’s Bloody Spray”– to the podcast is fellow podcaster Robbie […]
This is an episode that I wanted to do because it gives me a chance to discuss movies I’ve been a fan of since my early years of movie fandom. I have never read any of Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan novels, but in particular, two film adaptations of his work- 1992’s “Patriot Games” and 1994’s […]
In the latest episode of the podcast, Brian works through a long-time filmmaker blind spot. For a long time, I had not watched the work of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger- aka The Archers- but this discussion is a good time to do that. Joining me in talking about these great British filmmakers is film […]

I simply was curious, however, and didn’t have higher expectations for it. […]

Earlier this month, the 2024 Atlanta Film Festival came to a close. Today, my coverage of it does, as I discuss some of the experiences I had, the thoughts on modern politics some films inspired, as well as name check my favorites of the festival. Also included are red carpet interviews with director Michael Showalter […]
It occurred to me as I was going through the Atlanta Film Festival this year that my past three years of covering the festival have been dramatically different from my first three. In 2019-2021, I had off of work for the better part of the festival (save for one day in 2019 when I worked). […]
One of the most exciting things about being on other people’s podcasts for me is adapting to their format. Mine is fairly straightforward- some episode types have their own specific format, but it’s generally a conversation to be had. The more podcasts I’ve been on in the past few years, the more you see the […]
