    The Hip Pocket #401 - John Gholson

    JOHN GHOLSON is an actor and an artist and an all around good egg. He was one of the stars of the recent indie horror hit MAN FINDS TAPE, and you've seen his face in things like the recent Netflix series BAD THOUGHTS as well. He's joining the Hip Pocket crew to kick off season four with some esoteric picks. Peter Jackson's BRAINDEAD, Eric Schaeffer's IF LUCY FELL, and the indie documentary masterpiece AMERICAN MOVIE are his picks, and our response title is the Canadian cult gem HARD-CORE LOGO. In addition, we discuss Roman Coppola's CQ for the Hip Pocket Hall of Fame.

    The Hip Pocket #313 - Mike Dougherty @ Chattanooga Film Festival

    For the second year, we were lucky enough to be asked to do a live Hip Pocket for The Chattanooga Film Festival! Our guest for this hybrid video audio podcast was hybrid animator, producer, writer and director Michael Dougherty. He wrangled GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS and made KRAMPUS annual viewing for horror geeks, not to mention birthed Halloween icon Sam, the burlap-headed bastard from SEASONS GREETINGS and TRICK ‘R TREAT. We went all in on Mike’s career and his picks, plus AI, media literacy…and screw worms. Mike brought us NETWORK, THEY LIVE, and IDIOCRACY, and we replied with MINORITY REPORT. Check it out wherever you listen to podcasts, but also! you can watch the conversation on YouTube.
