Hi everyone, Bryan Here….

I had the pleasure to talk with filmmaker Katie Cokinos, who wrote and directed ‘I Dream Too Much‘, starring Diane Ladd, Eden Brolin and Danielle Brooks. Cokinos is a Texas native who worked with Richard Linklater in the early 90s on ‘Slacker‘, and who in return, Linklater served as Executive Producer on this film. This fun talk covers, working on the film, shooting in the cold New York winter, working on earlier films (‘What’s Eating Gilbert Grape‘/’The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre‘), casting the roles, and her favorite scenes from movies, as well as her most thrilling music experience.

It was a fun interview for sure. Be sure to read the review by CLICKING HERE. Enjoy the interview below. (Warning: There are a few audio drop-outs for some reason)

Hi everyone, Bryan Here…..

I had the distinct pleasure to talk with the writer/director/actor that is known as Diego Luna about his new film ‘Mr. Pig‘. Who is Diego Luna, you ask? He was in ‘Y Tu Mamá También‘, ‘Elysium‘, ‘Open Range‘, The Terminal‘, and ‘Milk‘ to name only a few films. Oh yeah, he’s also starring in the upcoming ‘Star Wars: Rogue One‘ film, coming out later this year.

He’s a jack of all trades when it comes to the film business, and with this new film ‘Mr. Pig‘, that stars Danny Glover and Maya Rudolph who play an estranged father and daughter who take a road trip to Mexico with prized pig in hand, Luna served as writer, producer, and director. Luna discusses how he came up with the film, which was over some traveling and hangovers, as well as how Danny Glover and Maya Rudolph came aboard. He also talks about ‘The Big Lebowski‘, which was awesome.

Enjoy the audio interview below and see ‘Mr. Pig‘ when you get a chance.

We talk about what WWE Creative should desperately do with Roman Reigns to have the WWE Universe start to enjoy him, as well as talk about Dean Ambrose and Brock Lesnar fighting to the death. We also chat about Charlotte and her dad Ric Flair, Shane MacMahon’s return, and all the booty that is The New Day. Hell, even Virgil gets mentioned. We periscoped the episode live as too, which was a lot of fun. Let us know your predictions for Wrestlemania 32.

The post A Triple Threat WWE Multi-Media Men Podcast Broke Out! appeared first on Boomstick Comics.

Hi everyone, Bryan Here….

Here’s a fun-as-hell and energetic discussion on the upcoming WWE event ‘Roadblock‘, which airs on the WWE Network on Saturday the 12th. This is basically bigger than a Monday Night RAW, but less than a PPV, but so far there are four matches scheduled. There is Triple H vs. Dean Ambrose for the Championship Title, Brock Lesnar vs. Bray Wyatt, The New Day vs. The League of Nations, and an NXT match with The Revival (Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder)  vs. Enzo Amore and Colin Cassady (with Carmella).

Seems like a short event, but I’m sure there will be some surprises. I’m joined by Adrian Charlie from The Green Screen and The Next Projection as we discuss possible scenarios and outcomes for Roadblock and the upcoming Wrestlemania 32 in Dallas, TX. We had a lot of fun coming up with these predictions. Unfortunately, Tom Nix and Mike Purtill couldn’t join us this time, but they were here in spirit or they were at some underground hardcore wrestling circuit that we can’t talk about. Tom Nix did tell us to say that he would like all of you to send photos of Roman Reigns to his Twitter account, so feel free to do so. We will be back next week to let you know the results of Roadblock and RAW.
