John Alston joins the podcast again and we discuss what Storytelling looks like.

John Alston returns, and this time with a mini-masterclass on filmmaking.  We talk about the phases/progression of the filmmaking process at a high level, touching on some challenges and blessings that come with each element.  If you're into making movies, and thinking about making something of your own to send out to the world, this is one you'll definitely want to hear this.

The US Congress strongly requested the CIA release every document they have in regard to Unidentified Flying Objects, and flying saucers in particular.  They have 180 days to comply, and within 30 they began releasing documents.  This... Is one of them.

Chad and Atreyu Mclewin stopped by the studio... and hilarity ensued.  Come hang out with us for a little while.  We'll laugh, we'll cringe, and heck... we may even bring up a tough topic or two.

No politics, no conspiracy theories... John Alston and I discuss movie trends, film industry trends, and more, plus (in hour 2) a deep comparison of ALL theatrical Batman iterations.  Snyder, Burton, Shumacher, Nolan, Romano.... no one was safe!

Joel, Jimmy, and I discuss Salvation, Holy-Spirit, and Trump.  Joel shares some of his immigration story and Jimmy talks about an adventure in Mexico.

This is the audio from a little video we put together to let new listeners know what we're all about.  You can find the video here:

Thanks to a mutual friend, Andre and I were able to meet for the first time over a Zoom call, and record it!  Andre has a background in fitness, athletics, bodybuilding, modeling, acting, and more. I promise this is an episode you didn't see coming (and nor did I!)

Atreyu McLewin visited his crazy uncle Chase for a couple of weeks during the Pandemic Summer of 2020.  We had a great time playing older video games, watching movies, bouncing around new voice character ideas, and even... recording a podcast together.
