Welcome back nerds! On this week's People's History of Film Dalton sits down to talk with multi-media artist Valerie Sharp, who may well be one of the nicest guests we have ever had. Dalton knows next to nothing about the fine arts (performance or otherwise) so this was a fun interview if only for the educational value. Valerie Sharp has been all over with her art and performances including New York. More than learning about the arts though this was just a delightful interview because Valerie herself is just a delightful person who came to the table ready to share about her life. Valerie's knowledge and viewing experience may surprise you from time to time, but she discusses some interesting films throughout the show. This one is not to be missed. Seriously, stop reading this and get into it.

Hello party people! Welcome back to another installment of The People's History of Film. This week we have on the host of The Okie Geek Podcast, Michael Cross. Michael is also the morning voice of KOSU, one of the two NPR affiliates here in Oklahoma. So, that's a little added bonus for some of our local listeners.  This made things especially surreal for Dalton as he has been listening to Michael on the radio for years. The weirdness is short-lived though as Michael and Dalton become fast friends bonding over their shared love of geeky content. Speaking of geeky-stuff, if you're wondering why Dalton and Michael can't stop complaining about Batman v Superman months after its theatrical release, this episode was recorded back in March. They have both since gotten over the movie... Mostly.

So sit down and get ready to rock, in an NPR-interviewy type of way. Michael was a lot of fun and had some great stories for us. Don't forget to go check out The Okie Geek Podcast on Twitter (@OkieGeekPodcast) and on Facebook (@OkieGeekPodcast). Now Historians, its time to get into it.

Hello listeners old and new and welcome to the People's History of Film! This week Dalton sits down via Skype to talk to one of the masterminds behind the Laser Time podcast network, Chris Antista. Chris has a background working in the video game industry, but for the last several years has been a full-time podcaster. That background greatly informs Laser Time as a network as their content has a focus on video games and nerd culture. This makes Chris a fun guest because Dalton has interviewed podcasters before, but never one whose focus was not explicitly in the world of film. Make know mistake though, Chris knows his. Seriously, dude has consumed a ton of cinema. There are a few audio flubs here and there in this episode as often happens with these call in interviews, so please bear with us because this is a fun interview because this is an especially fun and laugh filled episode. Enough disclaimers, you came here for an interview. This is Chris Antista's history of film. 

Welcome to another exciting episode of The People's History of Film. We have a very special episode for you this week. Well, every episode is special in it's own way, but this one is particularly exciting. You see our show's incredibly talented producer Arthur Gordon was able to book the co-founder of Letterboxd, Matt Buchanan.

For those not already in the know Letterboxd is a social network that allows film fans to share their cinematic tastes by rating and reviewing the films they watch and logging when they watched said films. For obvious reasons Letterboxd is one of the GoodTrash Media team's favorite websites. It helps us with our year in review lists and its "films watched the year" feature makes for fun competition between us.

All of this is to say that Dalton was a bit starstruck when Matt sat down with him over Skype from his home in Auckland, New Zealand. This made for a very different kind of episode as Dalton let his inner Terry Gross run wild with the end result being a bit more NPR in nature than our regular listeners may be used to. Don't worry though, Dalton still manages to make a total idiot of himself once or twice. This is Matt Buchanan's history of film, get into it. 

Welcome back listeners! This week we sit down to talk with Mitch Leasure who works as the warehouse manager for the Oklahoma City based NGP Video Production Services and Equipment Rental. So, if you're about to start working on a film and need the right tools, head over to the NGP website and see what they've got. He also works in film production in the grip and electric departments. Mitch is a self-described proponent of free thought and enjoys his important "leasure" time reading and drumming - he's got jokes, what can I say. 

This is one of those "Dalton tries to make a total stranger be friends with him" episodes and includes some extensive talk about the unique power of film to cultivate a love for music. Mitch knows what he's talking about in this regard and Dalton does his level best to sound like a cool guy with good taste in music, which is something we all know is not the case.

Greetings nerds and film historians! Welcome back, or hello for the first time as the case may be. On this week's episode of The People's History of Film Dalton sits down with Oklahoma City filmmaker Laron Chapman. Laron is currently working on his first feature which he wrote and hopes to direct. Laron spends a few moments sharing with me the background of this film, entitled You People. It sounds fantastic. The conversation really gets going with Laron discussing his family, and many great jokes are made while referencing a certain show from the 70s. We then highlight his time as a production assistant and the things that inspire him as a filmmaker.

All of that greatness is just within the opening minutes of the show! Laron is just a delight. Now, normally, these interviews are dropped using a Delorean and some plutonium, but we decided to drop Laron's interview while it was still hot and fresh. You see, Laron is in the midst of a crowd-funding campaign on IndieGOGO as he is trying to raise funds to get You People made. And, as has been the case in the past, GoodTrash loves to help out local filmmakers, especially if they have a unique voice or vision and Laron certainly fits the bill. Now, I'm normally not this rambly, so I think you all know it's time to get into it.

Welcome back to the party film historians. This week we have on filmmaker and friend of GoodTrash Media, Daniel Aaron Austin. I'm not exaggerating when I call him a friend by the way. Daniel is an old friend of Caleb Masters who hosts Back to the Movies, and he even made our Patreon promotional video. So, solid dude.

This was a fun interview that included a bit of an overview on Daniel's journey to becoming a filmmaker. His journey is kind of a fascinating one in that Daniel is relatively new to film. He only started to find his love for film within the last few years while he was in college, with Caleb Masters no less, and readily admits not so long ago he thought Transformers was the peak of cinematic achievement. So you could say GoodTrash Media is responsible for Daniel becoming a filmmaker. Well, okay, that might be a stretch, but Dalton is an expert at self-aggrandizement so he'll probably say that.

What up nerds and historians! Welcome back to The People's History of Film. This week we sit down with stand-up comic Christopher Fox. We recorded this one way back when the show was bi-weekly as you'll notice from a little flub during the intro, so sorry - we guess.

In addition to being an exceptionally funny guy our guest, Christopher is good friend of Dalton's - which as loyal listeners know by now always makes for a decidedly silly interview with a lot of laughs. More than that though, it's somehow the longest one-on-one conversation Dalton and Christopher have ever had despite frequently collaborating with each other, so there are plenty of moments of discovery where the two learn a thing or two about each other.

Christopher, along with former guest Heath Huffman, is one of the masterminds behind Oklahoma City's alt-comedy collective, The SAAD Boys, who put on a variety show the first Saturday of every month at The Parish in OKC's Plaza District. In fact, you can even see your fearless host Dalton there most months. Enough self-promotion. Get into the interview.

Welcome back fellow historians to another thrilling episode of The People's History of Film. This week Dalton sits down with Oklahoma City-based actor Stephen Goodman. Things start off with an exploration of Stephen's personal journey as an actor, including a little inside baseball talk about the differences between working on indie projects here in OKC and working on union jobs in LA. Things slowly get more personal, with talks of family history and man-tears, culminating in one of the silliest/funniest stories to ever be featured on this show in which Stephen breaks down the nuances of the decidedly back-woods game "critter, critter" - get into it friends.

Stephen Goodman can be seen in the feature film Electric Nostalgia which will be featured at the deadCenter Film Festival here in Oklahoma City.

Correction: 1989's Batman was the first consumer-priced VHS, not the first one commercially available as Dalton said. Because he is an idiot.

Welcome back film historians! On a very special 10th episode of The People's History of Film, Dalton sits down with one of his fellow co-founders of The GoodTrash GenreCast, the flagship podcast here at GoodTrash Media. We (meaning Dalton) decided that it would be a fun marker of time every ten episodes to interview one of the other core members of the GoodTrash Media Network, starting in chronological order of when they joined. So consider this part one in a special recurring series of interviews.

Now, those in the know might be aware that Dustin and Dalton, along with PHoF producer Arthur Gordon, started this GoodTrash madness together when they met in college. So really we could've started this series of interviews with Dustin or Arthur, but it seemed appropriate to start with Dustin as he was the wellspring of crazy from which the idea for a podcast came. Beyond that, Dustin is kind of the heart that holds this all together. Not that he'd admit it.

If you've ever wondered a little about the history of GoodTrash Media this episode makes for a good listen as Dalton and Dustin begin the interview with a bit of reminiscing before heaping a nearly self-congratulatory level of admiration on each other. Having know each other for over four years as of the recording, Dalton and Dustin get pretty far down the personal rabbit-hole, making for an interview full of telling stories and a few moments of pretty serious emotion. Enjoy.

Dustin's our very own Eye Protein writer and all of his online work can be found right here at GoodTrash Media.
