Welcome back Historians! Dalton Stuart has returned once again for another entry in the People's History of Film. This week, Dalton sits down with slam poet and comedian Victoria Bautista. Dalton and Victoria have known each other through the comedy circuit in Oklahoma City. Now, they finally get to sit down and have a good old fashioned conversation. Victoria speaks to life in Law School, her Filipino heritage, and how she circumnavigated performing comedy in bars at a young age. Dalton praises Victoria's poetry skills and her involvement and success as a slam poet. This leads to a special moment towards the end of the interview as Victoria delivers one of her pieces for the show. Victoria brings a lot of energy to this week's show, and a lot of laughs. This is Victoria Bautista's history of film, get into it. 

Welcome once again, friends and enemies alike, to the People’s History of Film. This week, we're back with more local Oklahoma City talent as Dalton talks with the OKC-based podcaster and martial artist Elijah Bailey who hosts The Elijah Bailey Show, A Little Bit o Anime and a ton of other content over at Blacken Studios. Are you ready for Dalton to spend a ludicrous amount of time talking about martial arts and fight choreography? Well, consider yourself warned because that's exactly what happens—for a while... Like a long time.

Anyway, Elijah is an incredibly accomplished martial artist and martial arts instructor so it would've been a waste not to go down that rabbit-hole. Is it self-indulgent? Maybe. Does it make for a great conversation? Absolutely. If that's not your jam, fear not, because there is a ton of other ground covered in this interview. Furthermore, we spend plenty of time going through classic People's History topics like family and the power of film in personal relationships. Strap in. This is Elijah Bailey’s history of film.

Hello dearest friends and welcome once again to the People’s History of Film. This week we return to Oklahoma City's well of local talent as Dalton sits down with OKC-based podcaster Courtney Oliphant who is one of the co-hosts of the fantastic Chicks with Flicks. The premise of their show is discussed in the interview, but the basic conceit is a group of funny and savvy women discuss films that can readily be described as "dude movies" and see what the big deal is. Courtney is one of a number of OKC podcasters that has worked to develop a community between the local talent. This was a wonderful conversion that veers very heavily into the realm of the emotionally honest and intense. What more could you want from an interview. This is Courtney Oliphant's history of film, get into it.

Salutations nerds and film historians! Welcome back to the People's History of Film. For this episode, Dalton sat down via the internet to talk with James Oster, aka Jimmy O, from JoBlo and Arrow to the Head. James is an extremely prolific film critic and interviewer. Recently though, he has teamed up with friend of GoodTrash Media Nick Sanford as producer on The Harvesters. Over the course of the interview Jimmy discusses his career as a critic, the production of The Harvesters, and so much more. Heads up, we tried out some new audio software for this one and ran into some issues, so do be patient. Enough build up. You're here for Jimmy O's history of film. Get into it!

Greetings beautiful weirdos! Welcome back to The People's History of Film! This week we have something a little different for you. Dalton sat down via Skype to talk with Cyphus, one of the hosts of Defense of the Patience, a gaming podcast originally focused on Dota 2 (Defense of the Ancients 2 for the uninitiated, like Dalton). Since starting the podcast their content has expanded to cover additional video games while still featuring a lineup of shows devoted to Dota 2. If that all sounds like gibberish to you don't worry, it mostly did to Dalton too, but that was hardly a roadblock to a fantastic conversation. This was fun one and once again a guest made the mistake of letting Dalton talk about David Fincher. Consider it another installment in the “Dalton tries to make a total stranger be friends with him” series of interviews. Enjoy!

Greetings nerds! Welcome once again to another thrilling episode of The People's History of Film. This week Dalton sits down with Vinton Bayne, the mastermind behind the Graphomania Podcast Network and the co-host of the number one Hamilton podcast in the world, Hamilton The Podcast. Vinton had such a good time with the interview in fact he started a segment on his Read Brave Comics podcast called "The People's History of Comics" where, you guessed it, he talks to people about their personal history with comic books. In fact your fearful host Dalton was Vinton's very first guess. You can hear that right here! Enough of this though, you're here for Vinton Bayne's history of film. Get into it!

Hello film historians! Welcome back to another thrilling episode of The People's History of Film. This week Dalton sits down with actor and filmmaker Ashley Mandanas. Ashley is a frequent collaborator of Daniel Aaron Austin, who we talked to way back on episode thirteen. Daniel was nice enough connect us with Ashley so we could make this interview happen. We're certainly glad he did too, because Ashley was a real treat to talk to. Just an incredibly joyful and charming presence. Get into it!

Welcome back to the party film historians! This week we have on professional sound engineer and the host of the Okie Show Show podcast, Brian Gililland. In addition, he has worked on a number of short and feature films. Brian's podcast is focused on navigating the film and entertainment industry here in Oklahoma and it shows, because he knows basically every local we've ever had on this show. The guy gets around. Brian was unbelievably easy to talk to and a generally cheeky dude, which made for a fun and breezy interview. Get into it.

Hello dear listeners and welcome back to another exciting episode of The People's History of Film. This week we have on musician and occasional stand-up comic Ben Frantz. Ben and Dalton have performed at comedy shows together more than a few times, but this was the first time they ever sat down for a real conversation. So consider this another edition of the "Dalton makes people he kind of knows hang out with him and so he can get to know them better" series of interviews.  Stay tuned for the end of episode for our very first live musical performance. Get into it. 

Welcome back film historians! This week we continue our ongoing special series of interviews in which every ten episodes Dalton sits down with one of the other main staff members of GoodTrash Media, in order of when they joined the team. For this installment Dalton spoke with Arthur Gordon, who along with Dalton and episode ten guest Dustin Sells is one of the three original hosts of our flagship show, The GoodTrash GenreCast.

The conversation starts with some inside baseball on the production of The People's History of Film, and a bit of marveling on how the hell this all came together. Things then turn to how Arthur found his way into the world of film criticism and analysis. As we begin to actively unravel Arthur's history the conversation gets incredibly personal with little left off the table. The emotion of this episode was so real in fact we couldn't bear to edit a bit of it, so Arthur's dogs even make an appearance as they insisted on distracting Arthur and Dalton from the task at hand.

To get meta for a moment, I (Dalton) am going to switch to the first-person. Generally I stick to writing in the third-person for these posts because, I don't know, it just seems more formal I guess? But I want to say for the record that this may well be one of my very favorite episodes to date. Arthur and I spend a ton of time together, but this is the longest one-on-one conversations we've had that wasn't about our interview and release schedule. It was an absolute joy to dig into our shared love of cinema and realize how much we have in common in terms of how we came to love the movies.
