  • The Dick Buttons Interviews - Michelle Robbins

    What happens when a woman discovers the man she planned to build a life with may already be building another one... with somebody else?

    And what happens when she decides she’s NOT going to simply walk away?

    On September 9th at 1PM EST, Dick Buttons sits down one-on-one with author MICHELLE ROBBINS, creator of the suspense thriller THREE WOMEN, ONE ALIBI — a story inspired by true events involving betrayal, deception, friendship, resilience... and three women who begin pulling at the threads of one man’s carefully constructed life.

    But Michelle’s OWN story may be just as fascinating.

    Before becoming a novelist, Michelle traveled a career path that included work as a researcher, professor, real estate agent, court interpreter and even an FBI contract linguist — experiences that exposed her to countless real-life stories of people dealing with love, deception, survival and reinvention.

    So you KNOW Dick has questions.

    🔥 How much of THREE WOMEN, ONE ALIBI really happened?

    🔥 Where does fact stop... and fiction begin?

    🔥 How do you take real-life betrayal and turn it into a suspense novel?

    🔥 What did Michelle learn from years of listening to other people's stories?

    🔥 Why did she decide NOW was the time to become a novelist?

    🔥 And what happens when Dick Buttons starts digging into the person BEHIND the book?

    This isn't just going to be a conversation about writing.

    It's about second acts.

    It's about deception.

    It's about finding the courage to reinvent yourself.

    And it's about what can happen when you discover the life you thought was real... may have been built on a lie.

    🎬🔥 SPLIT SCREEN IS BACK!!! 🔥🎬

    Two different mindsets.
    Two different ideologies.
    Two VERY different ways of looking at movies.

    Dick Buttons and Professor Jacket Music are together again for another episode of SPLIT SCREEN, only on The World According to Dick Buttons Podcast!

    Usually, the guys may find themselves reviewing the same movie from completely different perspectives…

    BUT NOT THIS TIME.

    This time, they picked movies FOR EACH OTHER — and neither one gets to run from the assignment!

    🎥 Professor Jacket Music chose 2011’s Detention for Dick Buttons.

    🔫 Dick Buttons fired back by choosing Martin Scorsese’s 1990 classic Goodfellas for Professor Jacket Music.

    Two movies that couldn’t be more different.

    One is a completely bonkers, genre-smashing high-school horror/comedy/time-travel fever dream.

    The other is one of the most celebrated gangster films ever made.

    So… what happens when Dick Buttons steps into the insanity of Detention?

    And what will Professor Jacket Music have to say after sitting down with Henry Hill, Jimmy Conway, Tommy DeVito and the world of Goodfellas?

    Will somebody discover a new favorite?

    Will somebody absolutely HATE what the other guy made him watch?

    Will friendships be tested?

    Will insults be thrown?

  • The Dick Buttons Interviews - Kat MacKenzie

    Get ready for a conversation that goes far beyond the music!

    Dick Buttons sits down with Singer/Songwriter Kat MacKenzie, an artist whose sound refuses to be stuffed into one neat little box. Blending elements of post-punk, baroque rock, dream pop, shoegaze, gothic folk and indie rock, Kat creates music that's atmospheric, emotional, gritty and unapologetically her own.

    🎸 BUT WHERE DOES THAT SOUND COME FROM?

    Dick digs into Kat's story — from her childhood and earliest musical influences, to discovering her individuality through music and art, to finding the courage to put her own emotions, imagination and experiences into her songwriting.

    They'll talk about the artists and genres that shaped her, her fascination with literature, poetry, mythology and folklore, the creative process behind her music, and how even darker and more complicated emotions can become something powerful when turned into art.

    And, of course, they'll get into the MUSIC — including her debut EP Cocoon, songs like “How to Disappear,” “Wallflower,” “Stay,” “Opening,” and her post-punk rock single “Pacman Dreams.”

    💥 THE MUSIC. THE INFLUENCES. THE STRUGGLES. THE EVOLUTION. THE PERSON BEHIND THE SONGS.

    No canned questions. No five-minute fluff piece. Just an artist, her story, and the kind of conversation you've come to expect from THE DICK BUTTONS INTERVIEWS!

    🎙️ DICK BUTTONS sits down with KAT MACKENZIE!

  • Episode 13 - "Roulette, Reviews & Red Wine"

    THE WHEEL IS BACK, BABY!!!

    As the Summer of 2026 starts winding down, Dick decided it was time to reach into the show’s history and resurrect one of its most beloved—and potentially dangerous—segments...🎰

    🔥 RANT ROULETTE HAS RETURNED!!! 🔥🎰

    The wheel is loaded. The topics are waiting. And YOU, the listeners, get to decide what Dick has to rant about! Where the wheel stops, nobody knows...but wherever it lands, you can be damn sure Dick will have something to say about it!

    Then it’s time to dim the lights and head to Netflix for another DICK’S MOVIE REVIEW! 🎬🍿This week, Dick takes on “The Last House.” Is it a brilliant new horror movie worthy of your time? A terrifying hidden gem? Or is it just another steaming pile of generic horror slop tossed onto the streaming pile?Dick watched it so you don’t have to...unless it’s actually good.

    And then...oh boy...🚨 GEN-Z IS BACK IN DICK’S CROSSHAIRS! 🚨Yes, there definitely seems to be a pattern developing here. 😂 Dick takes another look at the generation he sees as lackluster, unmotivated, permanently introverted, and somehow destined to inherit the Earth.

    WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?! Dick wants to know: What exactly is the future of civilization going to look like when GEN-Z takes the wheel? Expect opinions. Expect arguments. Expect someone listening to get pissed off.In other words...EXPECT DICK BUTTONS.🍷🔥

    And finally, it wouldn’t be an episode without another trip into...THE VINCENZONE!!!

    Dick and Vincenzo crack open yet another bottle of red wine, and once that cork comes out, absolutely anything can happen.Vacations! Current events! Life!

    Random observations! Complete nonsense! And whatever other topics are magically conjured up by the wine!And YES...🤓🚨 NERD ALERT!!! 🚨🤓Because apparently these two are physically incapable of getting through a bottle of wine without nerding out about something.

    It’s honest. It’s unfiltered. It’s unpredictable. And most importantly...IT’S FUN!

    So pour yourself a drink, spin the wheel, prepare to be offended and BUCKLE UP!
