Join us as Palm Springs author and filmmaker Richard S. Sargent shares his journey from a bullied, movie-obsessed kid in Pittsburgh to the creator of viral cinema cookbooks, including *The Horror Movie Night Cookbook* and the new *Ultimate Chick Flick Cookbook*. Discover how his love for film and food inspired interactive dinner-and-a-movie parties, complete with themed menus and cocktails, such as the playful "Brewski Beer Cheesecake" for Barbie. We’ll also discuss his personal stories, from meeting his husband on early-match platforms to his anthology of queer shorts, *Gay for Plays*. This episode is perfect for those who love hosting, cult classics, or rethinking rom-coms, and offers fresh menu ideas that pair wonderfully with your favorite films.
