Film Freaks Forever!

Just like they do in heist movies, your Film Freaks quietly and meticulously planned this podcast, wearing masks, gloves, speaking in code, all the while planning the ultimate heist episode. Enjoy the thrills and chills of staying one step ahead of the authorities as Phoef and Mark take you through some of the best heist movies ever made - from the 1950's all the way through to today. Everyone from Sterling Hayden, Marilyn Monroe, Alec Guinness, Clint Eastwood, Jeff Bridges, Robert Redford, and Jeremy Renner show up to prove that crime doesn't pay (well, most of the time).

Way before Steven Spielberg changed movies and box office numbers forever with the summer smash, "Jaws," he had already established quite a reputation and resume working in television in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

The Film Freaks dive deep into Spielberg's very first television job ever (where he got to work with legends like Rod Serling and Joan Crawford) and then take you through a lot of his fascinating, off beat and edgy TV work. It all leads up to what many consider the best TV movie ever made and then his underrated very first major studio feature film. We end with that popular fish film.

So come join the Film Freaks as they teach you all about little Stevie Spielberg before he became legendary movie icon Steven Spielberg.
