Film Nuts

Tim Burton's masterpiece Big Fish teaches us the power of stories, and Tyler Gillespie takes these lessons and applies them to his job, his passions and his life. Tyler is a self-proclaimed "seeker of magic," and relates to the whimsy and raconteur embellishment of the film's central character.

What defines who you are? If you robbed a bank, would that be all there is to your humanity? Deep stuff, yeah? Anyway, I'm talking about the global sensation Money Heist with visual storyteller and podcaster Angela Holloway! Angela's work ranges from the great outdoors to human rights to small business success stories. We ended up having a great conversation about what defines us, the pros and cons of entrepreneurship and the beautiful moments in Money Heist that highlight humanity better than most America TV shows.

Y'all, I am so stoked for this episode. Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai is a "fearless mashup," according to our guest, of genre, philosophy, culture and music. We're talking a gangster film blended with Eastern teachings and a really dope soundtrack. This film hit Saleem Reshamwala at a very specific moment in his life, and he obtains new meaning from it every time he watches it. And being a self-explained "mashup kid," Ghost Dog seems like the perfect film to talk about. Saleem is a Emmy-nominated mediamaker whose most recent projects are two stellar podcasts, Far Flung from TED and More Than A Feeling from Ten Percent Happier. Check out everything Saleem is working on here!

The Emmy-award winning drama The Americans, enthralled audiences and critics with its deeply human story of two Soviet agents living in the United States. For sports journalist and ESPN radio personality Joe Giglio, it piqued his interested from the very first episode, and the way it portrayed historical events that he remembers as a kid was particularly impactful. Also, Keri Russell.
