My guest is the Action Addicts podcast host Scott Wiley.  On this episode we talk about just how he started the Action Addicts podcast including just how its badass theme came to be.  This episode is also dedicated to Scott's Grandfather Harry.  Harry had a huge love of film and he shared that love with Scott.  This conversation is not worth missing.

Welcome to Season Two of Reel Early.  My first guest is my friend, stunt person and badass martial artist, Aaron Vargas.  I was really excited to talk to Aaron and this conversation did not disappoint. You'll learn what motivated him to learn martial arts and to get into stunt work.  What I really like about this conversation is just how positive a person Aaron is and I think you'll be motivated to put yourself out there for something you love too.

Please make sure if you like what you hear to let me know what you think about this and my other episodes to [email protected]

Week three of my special Halloween edition of Reel Early is with my friend and horror historian, Aaron Christensen.  It was fun to catch up with Aaron and discuss how he got into horror as a young kid, pre VHS, in San Francisco.  We also discuss our shared love of Dario Argento, why horror movie still endure to this day, and a whole lot more.

This episode features my friend, former co-worker and current writer Nikki Frisinger.  11 years ago I began a stint working for Barnes and Noble Deerfield which is where I met many wonderful people, including my guest Nikki.  She was the manager of the music and movie department so we instantly became friends.  It was great catching up with Nikki and learning about her history with film.  This is a super fun conversation that I know you will enjoy.
