Artist: urbanspacelab - Song: Picture Perfect31 min - Episode 11: "Local Edition" with Mike Barroga
Mike Barroga joins me to talk about our college years at Towson University, which spawned one of the most creatively fruitful times in the lives of several film students, including myself, as we worked on Barroga's narrative comedy "Film School." We reminisce about Towson's TV station, WMJF, how that experience grew friendships, and how it served as the origin for a lot of us still working in film & television. A great conversation!

Artist: Black Pistol Fire - Song: Busted and Blue1 hr - Episode 7: "The Dark Knight Rises" with TJ TooheyTJ Toohey joins me on this episode. He is a friend of mine from high school. We talk podcasting, criticize "The Dark Knight Rises," and talk about the summer of movies, including Joss Whedon's stellar year with "The Avengers" and "Cabin in the Woods," both favorites of mine for 2012. This leads us into a discussion on Whedon's "Buffy" and "Angel," and why we both missed the boat on them when they were airing. We also talk great TV on AMC and HBO.
SPOILERS AHOY on the movies, so you've been warned.

Artist: The Hosts - Song: I Keep Fallin Down1 hr 1 min - Episode 6: "Straight Up Dom Cobbin' It" with Fernando MadrigalOn the sixth episode, Fernando and I talk sequels and, more specifically, sequels as a necessity for parodies/satires. We focus on the unique example of the Scream series, which functions as a parody itself as well as being parodied in the Scary Movie series. it's a twisting, turning discussion about postmodernism, meta commentary, and pop culture being "politics for the 21st century." Get ready to go down the rabbit hole with us. This has Inception levels to it.
*And yes, we're aware of a little boo-boo in this episode. Fernando says Kevin Williamson is the film teacher in Scream 2. he was, in fact, played by Craig Shoemaker.*

It's a fun talk. Check it out!
