Oddly, the distributor refused the 4K version... but it exists!  I'll send word if it ever gets out into the world.

...er, my 2nd feature, "Road to Perth", is now playing at the Laemmle Glendale.

Five years ago I had a three week break between jobs and naturally rather than relax I decided to make an unscripted feature in a foreign country, with only about two days of planning.  *nervous chuckle*.  SOMEHOW it turned out mostly coherent and now it's nearing release next week on VOD across the US & Canada.  It's not a perfect film by any stretch, but it was a super fun experiment (and experience).  An actor friend of mine and I caught a flight to Melbourne from LA and set out on the road across the country to Perth, stopping at awesome spots along the way.  I was the only crew member - acting as DP, sound guy (I had to paint myself out of 60% of the shots, because I boomed most static shots) - and yeah.  It was nuts.  Along the way we met up with a few local actors and plotted out the story as we lived it, basically.  I highly suggest giving it a try.

Anyway.  "Road to Perth" is now available for pre-sale on iTunes (Flash sale right now for $6.99).  Any presales before 1/18 help us get ranked in the iTunes algorithm, so please - I'll buy you a beer.  PRESALE LINK: https://apple.co/3ynmwbY

It'll be available on blu-ray and DVD as of 1/18/2022.  Other details, all at: https://www.roadtoperthmovie.com

Thanks for letting me shamelessly whore out this wacky movie.

Apologies for breaking the flow of "official" posts, but what's the context behind this?  Is this a series you've been writing and recording for, or an existing script you've decided to read out?

Ep. 79 - "Paris, Texas" (1984)

This episode has been a long time coming. Returning guest Steve Phelan and co-host Chad Peter have been waiting to force fellow co-host Mark Heiliger into watching "Paris, Texas" for a good, long while now - and the time has come to do so. Unfortunately, or fortunately (if you're into this sort of thing), we had an additional guest on the podcast as well (one that wasn't happy about being on the podcast with us).

Performers of note: Harry Dean Stanton, Dean Stockwell, Aurore Clément, Nastassja Kinski and Hunter Carson.

Also, stay tuned for the addendum at the end.

Ep. 78 - "Bumblebee" (2018)

Oh ho ho, boy oh boy we bet you never saw this one coming.  Chad and Mark invite guest (and actress) Kat Schmidt onto the podcast to help explain her love of the Transformers movie franchise, or specifically - 2018's "BUMBLEBEE".  They deep dive into the WHY and WHAT, going so far as to attempt to explain why these movies are still being made - and why certain folks enjoy them more than others.  (editor's note: after this podcast was recorded, it was announced that there's MORE Transformers films in the works).

Performers of note: Hailee Steinfeld, Jorge Lendeborg Jr., John Cena, Jason Drucker, Pamela Adlon, and Travis Knight.

Eh!  A few new episodes!

Latest:
Ep. 73 - "Sing Street" (2016)

Sneaking out of Ireland in 2016, "Sing Street" made it across the pond to America and had a relatively decent success, considering most movies of a similar nature never reach much of an audience in America with the mass of content blasted through our eyeballs these days.  Still, this movie was missed by MOST - and we're here to remind you - it's probably not the movie you think it's gonna be, and it's pretty damn good.

From the director of "Once" and "Begin Again", "Sing Street" again captures director John Carney's sensibilities as a filmmaker, songwriter and showman for the modern "Hollywood" musical (albeit not connected to Hollywood).  In our setting, Chad has seen this movie (and loves it), and Mark is seeing it for the first time.

Damn, great video BDA.  Couldn't agree more about the "future I was promised" aspect of all this.  Feels like the early exciting days of miniDV, final cut pro and going to town on videos that (eventually looked like garbage but had all the heart in the world).  At least the technology part should hold up its end of the bargain from here on out.  Fingers crossed that Finneas/Billie's Highland Park, CA world doesn't implode around them once the fame suffocates them both.  (On an aside, this only furthers my belief that success always comes in twos (or more).  A pairing that needs each other to be their best version of themselves.)

Always love the Triple J "Like A Version" sessions in Australia (from various artists).  Found a good one of them both.

Oh man.  Digging some of these posts and getting caught up in general.  Music is weird.  I've been out of the loop but diving back in and having fun with some new(er) artists.

Recently wanted to see what this whole Billie Eilish thing was about - and holy fuck - what a talent at only 17 years old.  17!!!  I was so talentless at 17 that this is somewhat mindblowing (to be fair, her slightly older brother helps produce/write the songs, but even he's only 21(!)).  Her new album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? is fantastic.

First, the catchy tune:

Then, the slower one I love:


What else?  Børns!  This guy is awesome.  Hipster as fuck but he makes good, fun music.  Had his newer album Dopamine on repeat for most of 2018.

First, a popular song:

And the one I listen to the most:

The issue isn't even how much content they're pumping out, it's that it's completely broken the theatrical distribution model. I checked AMC showtimes near me yesterday and there are literally like five non-MCU movies showing on screens right now, getting three or four screenings a day.

So we're back to Sorcerer flopping cos Star Wars got released?

Damn, Faldor digging into the PRE wayback machine for that one.

Sequels -> Trilogies -> Franchises -> Reboots -> Remakes -> [Sequels to Remakes ->] Universes

Prepare for the Disneyverse.

To dovetail on to this I am so over Marvel now. I remember the Avengers commentary where Trey states that he will watch the film if Disney releases his family. That's how I feel with the Avengers and Marvel and all this constant drivel that somehow makes the films less and less appealing to watch the more they advertise them.

Seriously, Marvel has invaded all the things I used to enjoy from Legos, to Star Trek to Star Wars and on and on. I simply do not care what Thanos does, why he does it or how Marvel has crafted the gold standard of movie making series...no, that was Lord of the Rings. Ugh... *head desk*

How is your May?

Yes.  More of this sentiment.  The problem with the MCU is the sheer fucking QUANTITY of it.  It's not a quality thing, because I'd argue most are decently made and dare I say enjoyable, HOWEVER the success of said universe has really oversaturated the holy fuck out of everything else in the movieverse.  We've averaged one Star Wars film a year - but at least lucasfilm seemed to be able to step in and pump the brakes after SOLO (hell, we won't see another FILM after IX for three years(!), which honestly is GREAT news (do we count The Mandalorian?)  I'm getting sidetracked here.  Point is - imagine if the MCU didn't exist.  Thanos the films from the universe and our minds.  Are we still feeling oversaturated on all things nerd without the MCU?

haha, as someone that didn't know WHAT to expect from the forthcoming IX, after VIII literally killed the biggest baddie that VII presented... the trailer from IX was good to see.  All for coming full circle to the even bigger biggest baddie of them all.

At some point, rabid fandom is the snake that eats its own tail, and Star Wars fans are some of the most spoiled out there.  In 20 years or so, maybe they'll be more appreciated - perhaps like the prequels are more respected now than when they "destroyed" the franchise 20 years ago.  There's still been a care put into these films that hasn't been replicated anywhere (and that includes Marvel films) - and that has been worth the price of admission alone.

Ep. 66 - "American Movie" (1999)

This week's movie is a legitimate classic - a 1999 documentary entitled "American Movie".  We're digging it up because maybe the world's forgotten it, or maybe you're just one of those folks who missed it at the time.  In any case, it's a goddamned treasure - and you should see it.
