Michael Showalter and Simon Cellan Jones Directors of THE IDEA OF YOU and ARTHUR THE KING
Thank you for listening to the FOLLOWING FILMS Podcast. Today we have two interviews for you. First I’m joined by Michael Showalter director of THE IDEA OF YOU and after the break I’m joined by Simon Cellan Jones director of ARTHUR THE KING.
Based on the acclaimed, contemporary love story of the same name, The Idea of You centers on Solène (Anne Hathaway), a 40-year-old single mom who begins an unexpected romance with 24-year-old Hayes Campbell (Nicholas Galitzine), the lead singer of August Moon, an incredibly popular boy band.
In ARTHUR THE KING, an unbreakable bond is forged between pro adventure racer Michael Light and a scrappy street dog companion dubbed Arthur over the course of a grueling 10-day, 435-mile racecourse. An inspiring story for the whole family based on true events, ARTHUR THE KING follows Light, desperate for one last chance to win, as he convinces a sponsor to back him and a team of athletes for the Adventure Racing World Championship in the Dominican Republic. Pushing the team to the outer limits of endurance and sacrifice, Arthur redefines what victory, loyalty, and friendship truly mean.

When a mysterious couple arrives claiming to know Darius and his fate, Maya tentatively agrees to let them into their bunker but these visitors are not who they claim to be ensuing in mother and daughter fighting for survival.

Jimmy Palmiotti on Harley Quinn, Marvel, and Living in Florida
Thank you for listening to the Following Films Podcast. Today I am joined by legendary comic book creator Jimmy Palmiotti. Jimmy has worked on several iconic characters and runs. He inked titles like the Punisher, and Ghost Rider and often inked the work of his friend and collaborator Joe Quesada. Together, they created Ash and Painkiller Jane. He also worked on Daredevil, a run especially known for the "Guardian Devil" arc scripted by Kevin Smith.
Jimmy is a great guest and I had a blast chatting with him.

ARCADIAN and BLACKOUT Interviews (Jaeden Martell, Maxwell Jenkins, and Larry Fessenden)
Thank you for listening to the Following Films Podcast. Today I have two interviews. Up first I’m joined by Jaden Martell and Maxwell Jenkins to discuss their work on the new Nicholas Cage starring film ARCADIAN. The film is set in the near future, where normal life on Earth has been decimated. Paul and his two sons, Thomas and Joseph, have been living a half-life – tranquility by day and torment by night. Every night, after the sun sets, they face the unrelenting attacks of a mysterious and violent evil. One day, when Thomas doesn't return home before sundown, Paul must leave the safety of their fortified farm to find him. A nightmarish battle ensues that forces the family to execute a desperate plan to survive.
Then after the break, I’m joined by Larry Fessenden to discuss his latest film BLACKOUT. Writer-director Larry Fessenden has created some of the most original and memorable independent horror films of the last 25 years. His latest, BLACKOUT, ranks among his most chilling and thought-provoking works. In the film, when the sun goes down, Charley has convulsions while driving his car, he goes off the road and ends up in a ditch. Charley, it seems, is a werewolf. He attacks his rescuers and moves through the outskirts of town at night wreaking havoc. But the next day he can’t remember the things he’s done. Now the tight-knit town must rally to find out what is tearing it apart: mistrust, fear, or a vicious monster.
ARCADIAN is in theatres now and BLACKOUT is available on VOD.
