    Introducing a New Interview Podcast from the creator of Russell Gets Revenge

    Introducing a New Interview Podcast from the creator of Russell Gets Revenge

    If you loved Russell Gets Revenge you are going to... well, we actually don't know if you'll like Top New Filmmakers, the new interview podcast from creator Peter Hoffman Kimball. Instead of the hilarious dark comedy fiction of Russell and his merry band of vengeance-seekers, we have fairly serious interviews with up-and-coming filmmakers. Lots of shows interview A-list celebrities and famous directors, but we're focusing on the top new filmmakers who are still on the ground, working their way up, and making ambitious, adventurous work. 

    We're not going to make any false promises - if you love commercials for Number 2 pencils and jokes about felony homicide, this might not be your bag. But if you're looking for insightful conversation about film and filmmaking, this is the place for you. Check it out! Search for Top New Filmmakers wherever you get your podcasts.

Mitch Maker ,

Cool story, Great voices

I love narrative podcasts. So this was great. Fictional, fun, great voices, and interesting dark comedy plot line. If you like true crime meets ear tv, then this is for you.

Brilliant!

Smart, funny, unexpected. You never know where it’s going to go. Hard to find a clean comedy that consistently delivers on the laughs but this nails it! Can’t wait to see what Peter Hoffman Kimball writes next. Also, I was especially impressed with the voice talent of Josh Callahan, a real stand out in a dynamite cast.

Nelson Linden ,

Excellent Podcast!

This is great! The writing and acting are first rate. Have you considered how you would ever get revenge for a murdered spouse? This helps you through that important process.
