Great Scott we've done it! 10 episodes in! What better movie to do for episode 10 than Robert Zemeckis' (Romancing the Stone/Contact) 1985 classic, Back to the Future. Starring Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, and Crispin Glover, Back to the Future is one of the most iconic, memorable, and quotable movies there is, truly one of the greatest movies in modern pop culture. In fact this movie is so fun and inspiring that it became today's guest's favorite movie. T.J. Redding is a good friend and front man of Connecticut based emo band Mighty Tortuga. I couldn't be happier to talk this movie with him. As always please follow, like, and share the podcast, and be sure to head over to our playlist to check out some Mighty Tortuga, and always remember, that's the power of love.

Kevin Smith is one of the most influential nerds in a hockey jersey and we love him for every minute of it. From making some of the most memorable movies, hosting comic book men, voicing many of your favorite comic heroes at one point or another, and running the Jay and Silent Bob get old podcast with long time collaborator Jason Mewes, there really isn't much to not love about Kevin Smith. Today's guest and friend, Justin Humenik of Philadelphia based pop punk band Cheer Up Dusty, can attest to that as we talk about his favorite movie, Clerks. Kevin Smith's 1994 cult classic is the first film he ever made and began what would come to be known as the View Askewniverse. Shot on a budget of $27,750 in the convenient/video store that Smith worked in, Clerks truly is an amazing film. Check out the episode to hear why it's Justin's favorite movie and and be sure to check out some Cheer Up Dusty!

For episode 6 we shook things up a bit and my wonderfully amazing friend Tony and I got together in the same room and recorded this weeks podcast! Although not the first time we've been in the same room recording things together, a very different and much more chill vibe this time around.

Today we're here to talk about Tony and his two amazing projects, Avowed.NY and Ascending Me, and his favorite movie, Superbad. A coming of age teen comedy written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, directed by Greg Mottola, produced by Judd Apatow and staring a studded cast of Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, Rogen, Bill Hader, Cristopher Mintz-Plasse, and Emma Stone, Superbad is one of the greatest comedies of the last 20 years.

"I can't stand you doing that thing you do..." Is one infectious hook that will be stuck in your head for days to come, kind of like any song you hear from today's guest With the Punches drummer Shane Maziekien. I have been a huge fan of With the Punches for years, they have been an inspiration to me as a musician and still serve as an inspiration to this day. From playing some shows together, to fantasy football, and now to Podcasting, I'm excited to talk with Shane about his favorite movie "That Thing You Do." A 1996 film written, directed by, and starring Tom Hanks in his directorial debut. The film follows fictional '60s band the Wanders on their meteoric rise to stardom and all of the troubles and victories that come along the way.
