  • "Friend and Writer" Nikki Frisinger

    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.

  • "That Movie is Fine" Podcast Host Lauren Knight

    This week's guest is podcaster and CEO of L.A. Knight Consulting, Lauren Knight.  Lauren is the co-host, along with Aaron Hudson, on the upcoming podcast "That Movie is Fine" where they talk about movies being fine.  We tackle the issue where the movie discourse is about how movies are either the best or the worst thing ever and try to find the common ground that most movies are fine.  In addition to that I learned that she's a huge Sylvester Stallone fan and we discuss her time doing "Syquester Stallone" series online where she watched a lot of Stallone movies.  This episode is the funniest one I've done to date and I hope you all enjoy it.
