    Interview - Harry Walton

    Michelle and Seth speak with Harry Walton, a veteran filmmaker that worked on projects like The Nightmare Before Christmas, Robocop, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids and many more. Harry talks about getting started as a kid doing makeup around the neighborhood, working with Phil Tippet and spending more hours than we can count animating everyones favorite Doughboy. We try to contain our excitement and very nearly succeed. Check it out!

    The Princess Bride

    The Princess Bride

    Anybody want a peanut? Of course you do, because we are talking about The Princess Bride! Hey, our third Rob Reiner film! This might be the most that we have ever laughed in an episode, so buckle up. We're talking the rats, the ins and outs of nicknames, Vizzini's fashion inspirations, the incredible Andre Roussimoff, finding out Peter Falk isn't just Columbo and much, much more. So much more in fact that you might say its.. inconcievable. Nah, it's actually pretty concievable.

This podcast has such great chemistry, the friendship really shines through. I love the banter. The non movie talk is hysterical. Highly recommend.

Very informative but lighthearted

I like how Seth gives details about movies, including the director’s intentions for including certain details in a film. The dynamic between him and Michelle is enjoyable. (Particularly, Michelle jokingly pleading with listeners to leave a review). Check it out!

An Unpretentious Movie Education

I am a casual movie watcher, but I don’t consider myself a “movie guy.” I have always wanted to be more knowledgeable about movies/film history, but a lot of “film culture” feels like you missed sign-up day for an exclusive club. Seth and Michelle talk about movies in an approachable and, yes, friendly way, and I love listening to their banter. I have watched several movies this year that I hadn’t before/wouldn’t have watched because I wanted to listen to an episode of this podcast. It really does feel like you’re getting to listen in on a conversation about movies that your friends are having! I have jokingly described this podcast to friends as “Seth mansplains movies to Michelle,” but I really feel like they do a good job of listening to each others’ perspectives on each movie, and they both bring different areas of knowledge and personal experiences to the conversation.
