The Iron Sequel Podcast

This week on chaos in podcasting The Iron Sequel I am joined by Aaron and Carlee from the Hit Factory Podcast. Hit Factory is a podcast that focuses on the politics and films of the 90s, the decade in which I CAME ALIVE! It was a true pleasure to talk in depth about growing up in the decade and the media that helped shape us as people. I was fortunate enough to stumble across Aaron and Carlee when I was close to closing my Twitter and their humour and outlook on life made me rethink my decision as it has been great getting to know them both. 

Please check out Hit Factory as they have covered some incredible films with fantastic guests and can be found wherever you get your podcasts. This will be my first monthly episode moving forward as it is so much more manageable and gives me time to prepare and edit with some breathing room. Enjoy!

This week on the most chaotic podcast on earth I am joined by my dear dear friend Mr. Andrew Taylor Carr. Andrew was my first ever guest on The Iron Sequel and his choice of film could not be any more different! It was great to catch up and see how his podcast 'Sons of Selvedge' is getting on. Most importantly we talked at length about the podcast that helped make us into the budding cinephiles we are today, The Gentlemens Guide to Midnite Cinema. We owe a lot to Will and Sammy so was nice to reflect on the glory days.

This week I am joined by Dr. Adrian Smith from The Wild Wild Podcast. Adrian is an Italian genre fanatic like myself. His podcast covers sub genres of Italian madness over a series. He has just finished his series on The Iron Sequel favourite the Poliziotteschi. 

We gushed over Rome and meeting Luigi Cozzi and a little concerning discussion surrounding collector fandom and how it's getting a little out of hand. FYI I have been plagued by internet Gremlins of late so more than once there is a small stutter. Apologies.

This week I am joined by Bill Ackerman from the Supporting Characters podcast. Supporting Characters is part of the Now Playing Network and Bill's guests range from writers through to producers and fellow podcasters. The roster of guests Bill pulls together is nothing short of spectacular if you're a fan of every aspect of film. I initially reached out because we have had quite a few crossovers in terms of guests. As someone still fairly new to the podcasting game it was wonderful to hear how Bill puts his episodes together and actually gets industry types onto his show. It was a really special chat and if it wasn't for the extreme heat (and time zones) we could have talked for hours. Enjoy!

This week I am joined by Twitter buddy Giles Edwards. Giles happens to be a producer and has worked on two very well received genre films THE GIRL ON THE FLOOR and BROADCAST SIGNAL INTRUSION. It was great to get a sneak peek into how the industry works and how the past few years have impacted production of films. He also dispelled the myth that all producers are strung out madmen working 23 hours a day. 

Giles enthusiasm for film is deadly infectious and this is the longest chat I have had in sometime. Enjoy!!

Regular programming has resumed! This week I am joined by a true genre expert, a Cannon Films expert to be precise. Austin Trunick has just released his second book about Cannon Films this time covering the years 1985 through 1987. His books are a true source of EVERYTHING Cannon from interviews through to unseen images. Cannon has played a huge part in my film education from a very young age and to get to speak to a truly knowledgeable person on the subject was nothing short of a genuine treat. Give his Twitter account a follow for great pictures, lobby cards, anecdotes and more. 

We also gush over Fun City Editions yet again in the recent watches segment. This was an editing nightmare as I was convinced I'd forgot to record correctly!

Yes, you read it correctly. This is a one off solo episode about TOP GUN: MAVERICK. A film that has had a serious impact on me since seeing it on it's release. It's pretty much the perfect sequel and I guarantee everyone will have an amazing time with it. I just had to get this off my chest with a short free speaking episode. Enjoy!

This is week is the first of many "hang out" episodes in which I invite someone from social media circles to talk about film. First up is Dylan aka Balthazar Bee on Twitter. We share very similar tastes especially 70s cinema and when he was talking about todays pick on Twitter I had to extend an invitation.

This week I am joined by The Reverend Terry from VideoReligion.net. Video Religion is a love letter to trash, horror, genre and the most bizarre films you're ever likely to see. I first came across Video Religion browsing for specific horror images and stumbled across his blog which is a treasure trove of madness. His site also has reviews and links to other social media and folks he frequently collaborates with. It's a treat to just dive in!

This week I am joined by music expert and collector Tony Giles. I've been a fan of Tony's reviews and the open window into his collection and taste. He is also one half of the Tony and Scott podcast and has a YouTube channel called "The Record Room" in which he reviews albums, soundtracks and special picks from his collection. If you're not following him you're in for a treat when you just see how dedicated he is to the humble record. 

It's always pleasing when someone's journey into music and film is similar to my own and it was a great to finally get behind the mic together.
