The Debatable Podcast

KENN EDWARDS and JOSEPH WILLIAM LEWIS, great friends and former Debatable guests, return together to talk about the big questions! Starting as having no idea what we were going to discuss, we quickly found ourselves jumping into the worries & concerns that kind of plague adult life. We explore maturity, generational differences, what makes a man, how we define success, how marriage and kids fit into our life plans, being present for one's existence and a shitload of philosophical questions along the way. Later, we revisit the topic of filmmaker Kevin Smith, being a part of his coterie audience and what we thought about his new film, "Tusk." Enjoy going down the rabbit hole!

But, we've also become fast friends through the Gentleman's Guide to Midnite Cinema (GGTMC)'s Facebook page, sharing a love for technical nerdity and cult films with fellow cinephiles. Rufus is a dude I admire greatly, and I was so happy to finally have him on the show. Enjoy!

Troy-Jeffrey Allen reviews “Guardians of the Galaxy.”

Podcaster, burgeoning stand-up, musician & music lover, KENN EDWARDS, joins me on the show to get down to the deep stuff. We address the love & hate relationship the film community has with filmmaker Kevin Smith and we discuss Kenn's admiration for his idols -- including Smith, "Weird" Al Yankovic and Chris Hardwick -- and the transparency they share with their fans. We touch on Kenn's own show and his recent interview with Yankovic, as well as what shapes people trying to do their own creative thing, and what sets Kenn apart from most: a positive, down-for-anything attitude. We finish up the episode with a lesson on concert-going etiquette, and Kenn and I play some well-established games.
