For a few years now, the streaming platforms Midnight Pulp and Retro Crush have been the home of old school anime and underground pulp and exploitation films of the past sixty years. Today Tyler sits down in front of the microphone and chats about some of the films he's seen on the platforms.

No, Kevin Smith is not on today's episode. He's kind of a tough guy to get ahold of. But as fans of his, an episode about his filmography needed to be produced. Co-founder of PHASR Media, Aaron Iara joins Tyler today on The Basement. The two of them bring three of Kevin Smith's films to chat about. A lot of knowledge about the universe that Kevin has built in his films will be spilled on today's show. Enjoy!

Chris Roy and Tyler Geis have been friends for over twenty years. And back when the basement was literally a place you hangout at and not just a podcast, Chris was a regular there as well. On today's show, host and guest rehash some memories of the original basement, the legal weed game, minimum wage wars, and Chris becoming a voice over artist.

Hollywood Talent Manager, Vinny Fiorenza is on the show today. We're talking about the mind of a talent manager in tinsel town, his entrepreneurial abilities, how he brings that east coast/New York mentality to the west coast, what creatives should be doing to get seen by managers and agents, and film scenes that make you cry and how it's "not necessary". 

Vinny also produced a film that is on the film festival circuit right now. "Love and Love Not", directed by Anthony Cally who was on this show back in November. Links below to where to track down Vinny and the film.
