    Episode 9 - The Predator

    Sorry for the delay. I was looking for a guest, but couldn’t find anyone to talk about The Predator. So this one is just me. I enjoyed doing it once I got over how self-indulgent it felt. I talk the merits of the movie including it’s weird world swings as it relates to improv. Please consider buying my book. Thanks for listening!

    Episode 4 - The Long Kiss Goodnight with Mike Leffingwell

    Originally I was just going to record one episode per movie, but then this was so much fun, I thought who cares? I’m telling you, make stuff for yourself the way you like it. It’s a revelation. If comedian and friend Mike Leffingwell (Future Life Partner) says he wants to talk action movies, take him up on it. I had a blast! Thanks for listening! Buy my book!

    Episode 3: Last Action Hero with Zach Jobe

    LA comedian and friend Zach Jobe (Parliament, The Fortune Teller Show) makes my day by coming on to talk Last Action Hero, a silly meta-commentary action movie about action movies and movies and existentialism and nihilism.
