September 22, 2025 5 More Fantastic Single Location Films.
This Time on the Force Five Podcast:
Host Jason Kleeberg is joined by author Ryan Estrada to revisit a topic once talked about on Force Five - single location films. These are the stories that take place in one area, that trap us in a house, a room, a bathroom, a pool, a coffin—and force filmmakers to get creative in tight spaces. Done right, they can be some of the most tense, inventive, and unforgettable movies you’ll ever see.

June 30, 2025 Top 5 Ticking Clock Films.
This Week on the Force Five Podcast:
This week, host Jason Kleeberg is joined again by screenwriter Phil Iscove, creator of the Fox series Sleepy Hollow and co-host of Podcast Like It’s. Today’s topic is Top 5 Ticking Clock films…these are films where a life‑or‑death deadline hangs over everything - not just a dramatic two‑minute bomb‑scene—it’s the entire premise. Think High Noon where Gary Cooper’s Will Kane awaits the arrival of the Miller Gang on the twelve o’clock train or 1988’s D.O.A., where Dennis Quaid has just 48 hours to find out who poisoned him.
