Episode 20, Y'all! I am planning on making every episode that ends in "0" something unique, special, and exciting! On this episode, I sat down with two of my favorite people, Mr. Russell Sun Eagle from Okie Podcast, and Mr. Chris Hill, for a discussion about Native legend, Tall Man. We go over the importance of Este'Cvpko to the Muscogee people, why he's seldom seen, his evil twin, what to do if you should come across one, and what could happen if you go looking for him. Chris regales us with hankkv stories from the Pacific Northwest to the First Nations in Canada, to right here in God's country, the MVSKOKE reservation. Join in the conversation!

Hesci! On this episode, Turtle man-splains the 1988 psuedo-action flick War Party starring Billy Wirth and are you ready for this? KEVIN DILLION! Yup! He also discusses the Hollywood stigma of casting non-Native actors in roles clearly made for a Native audience, the history behind the 49, and why it's never ok to speak ill of Elders.

After a slight hiccup trying to figure out the new audio equipment, part II is finally here. In this episode we delve into the mystique of the character Arthur, played with precision point perfection by Graham Greene. You'll find out more why this is one of the greatest scripts ever written, we also compare and contrast more sections as I read a few key passages from the book the film was based on that may add a little more context to the film. If you haven't seen this, you are truly missing out!! Check it out on YouTube now! The more I watched this, the more I fell in love with this folk horror cult classic!

We're back FINALLY with a much keener setup thanks to you generous listeners! On this episode, we're celebrating our First Nations relatives in Canada, by discussing the INTENSE, groundbreaking, and rarely seen Canadian folk horror production, Clearcut (1991) staring the always reliable Graham Greene and Floyd Red Crow Westerman. If you haven't seen it, it is available on YouTube.This was Greene's first role coming off the ENORMOUS success of his Oscar nominated performance of Kicking Bird in Dances with Wolves. You can definitely tell he was on a mission to kick the typecast he was inevitably pidgeonhole'd in. He turns in an incredible, groundbreaking performance that will forever change how you view him as an actor.

We also discuss a little bit about the making of the film, the UNBELIEVABLE true story of the film's director, Rhyzard Bugajski, the book A Dream Like Mine by author MT Kelly, which the screenplay is based, and it should be taught in University film courses.

Hesci! In this episode we sit down with Comanche/Shawnee filmmaker Rodrick Pocowatchit for a discussion about his incredible 12 year film career.
