Brian and Dillon speak with actor Luis Rizo about his recent win for Best Supporting Actor at The Indie Gathering International Film Festival for his role as Archie in our film, Dilettantes. Dilettantes is available to buy or rent on Prime Video… and apparently you can buy it on DVD at Walmart.com and eBay.

For this episode, Dillon, Brian, and their good friend Luis Nario-Malberg discuss two films that require a lot of patience to get through: My Dinner with Andre and The Limits of Control. One is satisfying to watch, while the other...not so much. Tune in to see what they all have to say about these experimental films.

Dillon and Brian are joined by Writer/Director Jake Fay to discuss his debut feature film, "The Process," which is about an underground rapper from Lynn, Massachusetts trying to make it out the city. The lovely Sam Valletta joins us as well to talk about her role in the film. "The Process" is available now on Prime Video and TubiTV. We highly recommend watching this one. Whether you're a rap fan or not, the struggle of trying to be somebody and do big things is something we can all relate to.

In this episode, Brian speaks with Simon Kincade and Luis Nario-Malberg to discuss a handful of films that "fell through the cracks" of a typical film watchlist created by Dillon. The list consists of: 12 Years a Slave, First Man, Doctor Sleep, Inherent Vice, Manchester By the Sea, Call Me By Your Name, The Lost City of Z, and Honey Boy. Most of these films are labeled "Oscar bait" and the trio spends this episode discussing which ones worked and which ones failed.

This episode is different than the usual ones. Dillon and Brian are joined by musicians Tom Richards, Jasper Van Dijk, and Kyle Franklin to discuss music in film and the wonders of composing music. Tom Richards is the guitarist for the UK rock band Soft Girls and Boys Club and he also composes the songs in each episode of OnlyReelFans. Jasper Van Dijk and Kyle Franklin are a film score composing duo that have composed for every Karen Twins production. The songs featured in this episode are:

"Draws" by Soft Girls and Boys Club

"Life of a Watchmaker" by Jasper Van Dijk and Kyle Franklin

"Hymn 255" by Soft Girls and Boys Club

Dillon and Brian are joined by Simon Kienitz Kincade and Emily Zisko to discuss a few notable films within the Queer community: All About My Mother, But I'm a Cheerleader, and Pariah.

The second installment of the Dilettantes Special. This one features some of the female cast and crew members who played crucial roles in the creation of the film. Our director, Sarah Gibson, and lead actresses, Samantha Valletta and Lizzie Short, talk about their experience on the set of Dilettantes.

Bonus episode! This episode features the producers/creators (Dillon Bentlage, Brian Reilly, and Simon Kincade) and composer (Jasper Van Dijk) of Karen Twins' debut feature film Dilettantes discussing and reminiscing on the creation of the film. Listen to each one share stories and trivia on how this independent feature film came to be.

BOO! Dillon and Brian are joined once again by Simon Kienitz Kincade and Luis Nario-Malberg as well as OnlyReelFans newcomer, Emily Zisko, for a Halloween-themed episode. For the month of October, we discuss a handful of horror/thriller films that none of us have seen before: Fright Night, Train to Busan, The Host, and Overlord.

Brian, Dillon, and fellow KT member Simon discuss two classic antiquity epic films this month: The Ten Commandments and Ben Hur. Do these religious epics from Hollywood's golden age still live up to their praise from the 50s? Is Charlton Heston still as captivating as ever? Did we all convert to Catholicism after watching these? Tune in to find out.
