When Moreno and I started talking about doing a podcast together, we envisioned a show where we could get people who work within the film business to give us some great insight into what all goes into making a movie. We envisioned talking to people who promote their projects, but also just talk about the business as a whole. We envisioned highly entertaining conversations with highly entertaining people. In other words, we envisioned shows like this particular one featuring actor/writer/director/composer Graham Denman.

Moreno and I start the show off by pouting over the fact that the lovely Jason Morris would rather eat macaroni and cheese alone than do his podcast duties. Actually, he had real life responsibilities to attend to. But we would rather put Morris down with him not around than accept it. Yes, we are assholes.

We then get Denman on the line. This is usually when I would give a rundown about what is talked about in the interview. But I would rather you just listen and experience for yourself this hour plus conversation that starts off as a promotional piece but turned into one of the most entertaining riff fests we have ever had. Forty minutes are spent on Denman’s career so far, career aspirations, and his WTF run-in with Gary Oldman. Then we talk about everything from the forgotten Martin Scorcese gem After Hours, love for Dark City, the genius of Charlie Kaufman, TWO King of Hollywood ideas, and so much more. If that is not enough to wet your whistle, the entire conversation is sprinkled with talk and references of the time Denman had his dick cut off onscreen.

Don’t you want to listen now? Doovit!!

Check out Graham’s short House Call, as well as the trailer to his new film The Divine Tragedies below. Special thanks to him for a kick ass conversation and look for him to come back on the Aftertaste very soon. You know, when he has things finished and ready to talk about and PROMOTE!
