Greetings! In this episode we are joined by Bonnie Garvin, an award-winning writer, producer, USC Screenwriting Professor, and creator of Storytelling Lab.

Storytelling Lab is a six-week course designed to help aspiring writers learn, develop and perfect their craft of storytelling, whether for film, television, graphic novels, etc.

With over 30 years experience in the business, Bonnie is well-versed at the constantly evolving industry, also known as Hollywood. Enjoy this conversation as she offers sound advice, do's & don'ts, and enormous insight!

Greetings! In this episode, we dive into Stanley Kubrick’s satirical masterpiece Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. Released in 1964, this dark comedy tackles the absurdity of the Cold War era, blending biting social commentary with sharp humor.

The film follows the chaotic events that unfold when a deranged general orders a nuclear strike on the Soviet Union, setting off a chain of events that could end humanity.

And joining us as we explore the iconic performances, critical themes on politics, paranoia, and military power, and how its relevance endures even today, is podcaster extraordinaire KIRSTEN RUDBERG (Byte Sized Blessings). Enjoy!!!

Greetings! In this episode we're tackling Paul Thomas Anderson's absolutely brilliant romantic tale PHANTOM THREAD (2017).

If you haven't seen it (which I suspect for some of you, you haven't), here's a brief, yet excellent, synopsis I found on IMDB: In glamorous 1950s post-war London, renowned dressmaker Reynolds Woodcock (Daniel Day-Lewis) and his sister Cyril (Lesley Manville) are at the center of British fashion, dressing royalty, movie stars, heiresses, socialites, debutantes, and dames in the distinct style of The House of Woodcock. Women come and go through Woodcock's life, providing the confirmed bachelor with inspiration and companionship, until he comes across a strong-willed young woman, Alma (Vicky Krieps), who soon becomes a fixture in his life as his muse and lover. Once controlled and planned, he finds his carefully tailored life disrupted by love.

Joining us for the discussion is podcaster, filmmaker, and all-around awesome dude, Jake Green! Enjoy!

Greetings! In this episode we cover the insanely bonkers (and mostly plotless) cult classic action that wrecked well over 150 different cars during its production, THE JUNKMAN (1982). And if you're a fan of stunts, HB Halicki and cars getting ripped to shreds, this is the movie for you!

And joining us for a nonstop thrill ride adventure are the hosts of THE FILM BROS CHAMPIONSHIP PODCAST - Tim and Patrick. Enjoy!

Greetings! In this episode we're going all the way back to the height of the Roman Empire with Ridley Scott's 2000 historical epic, GLADIATOR! And returning back to the show to talk all about it, as well as discuss his brand new novel PRIME TIME POMPEII, Neil Laird!

In addition to being an accomplished writer and one of my all-time favorite guests, Neil is also an Emmy-nominated director of historical films for Discovery, BBC, PBS, History Channel, National Geographic, and many other networks. 

This is a great episode. Enjoy! 

Greetings! Happy Veterans Day to all the men and women around the world who served. Thank you for your service.

Greetings! Welcome to a very special FLIX & SIPS episode of Stamper Cinema!

Not only do we have an absolute banger of a film to discuss (1995's SEVEN aka SE7EN), but tonight's guest has offered the most delicious cocktail to pair it with.

Shout out to tonight's guest, Canada's own, Jason Lepla for crafting a very  unique take on a Saturn. I'm super excited to share this drink - as well as the film that inspired it. This is one you're not gonna want to miss.

• In you're interested in making a Se7en Saturn here's what you need...

• 1.5 oz oil-washed Gin

Oh! And the film discussion portion of this podcast is pretty epic too. Enjoy!

Greetings! In this episode I nerd out for about 30ish minutes on the 1980 Sean S. Cunningham classic FRIDAY THE 13th. That's right. The OG Friday. The one without the hockey mask-wearing, machete-wielding lake demon, known as Jason Voorhees.

Disclaimer: Jason was NOT the original killer in Friday the 13th... something that anyone who has ever seen SCREAM (1996) is more than aware of.  

Why you should listen: I discuss a little bit of the origins to Friday the 13th as a folklore. I breakdown the film a little bit. I offer a little personal perspective. And, yes, I share the scathing Gene Siskel review of this film. 

This is a fun(ish) one. Enjoy!
