Welcome to the Things That Shape Us podcast. My name is Jonathan Wymer and I'm joined by James Gary to discuss a various range of subjects that are all related to one idea: How those things shape our lives.

In this episode, James and I discuss ONE THING that is currently shaping our lives. At this point, everyone has at least heard of ChatGPT, but a lot of people don't know exactly how it works. So James and I put the AI program to test as we feed it prompts that bend our reality, our brains, and possibly our feelings toward this new frontier. Prepare for weird, because it gets weird.

Welcome to the Things That Shape Us podcast. My name is Jonathan Wymer and I'm joined by James Gary to discuss a various range of subjects that are all related to one idea: How those things shape our lives.

In this episode, James and I discuss a few things that shaped our lives. We attempt to log in and try out ChatGPT until it starts asking us to give it blood first. Then we toggle between talking about James' hunt for a new car and it gives us an idea for a feature film. We're staying caught up with each other since we're now having to do our podcast fully virtual.

Welcome to the Things That Shape Us podcast. My name is Jonathan Wymer and I'm joined by James Gary to discuss a various range of subjects that are all related to one idea: How those things shape our lives.

In this episode, James and I discuss a few things that shaped our lives. The tail end of winter has brought about quite a few changes for James and I, and as you may have guessed already, we've gone virtually due to one of those changes. James and I catch up on his transition to his new place (still here in ATL) and we discuss obscure YouTubers that James has listened to lately. It's a short and sweet episode, but so appeared to be this Winter. New beginnings arise!

Welcome to the Things That Shape Us podcast. My name is Jonathan Wymer and I'm joined by James Gary to discuss a various range of subjects that are all related to one idea: How those things shape our lives.

In this episode, James and I discuss a couple things that shaped our lives. Analogue horror returns as Kane Pixels announces a collaboration with A24 & HBO for The Backrooms horror film. James and I talk about the possibilities of what this movie can become. Then we delve into a review of Darren Aronofsky's The Whale with Brendan Fraser and Sadie Sink. There are SPOILERS involved with our conversation as we break down some of the story elements we found to be our favorites.

Welcome to the Things That Shape Us podcast. My name is Jonathan Wymer and I'm joined by James Gary to discuss a various range of subjects that are all related to one idea: How those things shape our lives.

In this episode, James and I discuss ONE THING that shaped our lives. After the Pandemic of 2020, there was an odd resurgence of a specific sub-genre of horror knows as "Analogue Horror" (The Backrooms / Mandela Catalogue / Etc). With this abstract art comes a rabbit hole of mystery that never gets quenched, and so James and I inevitably travel down it.

In this episode, James and I discuss MANY THINGS that shaped our lives.  We primarily stick to the realm of imaginary worlds that we create either with our imaginations or experience digitally. Then, of course, we switch gears and start talking about apps we'd love to create, or have someone else make for us! Wink, wink!

In this episode, James and I discuss MANY THINGS that shaped our lives.  A change in season has our sleep schedule super messed up, so James and I came together to keep ourselves awake. We talk about movies we've recently watched and how it's changed over the past couple years, as well as our writing processes. We add a little bit of everything is this stew.

In this episode, James and I discuss MANY THINGS that shaped our lives. We've retuned from a 6-Month hiatus and you didn't even notice we were gone! That's okay. We're still the wild guys you remember. But it's time to play catch up, so James and I jump right into where we've been, why it's been so long since our last episode, and start talking about a whole matter of subjects to quench the thirst after our disappearance.

ANNOUNCEMENT(S) IN EPISODE:

Asleep In Armageddon, a short film project from our collaborator, Charlie Benz, is being co-produced by our collective filmmaking group, Jonesport Pictures. We have now entered POST-PRODUCTION. And we're hoping we'll have a final project to reveal by Spring 2023!
