In this episode, we're joined by a wrestling expert, which is a good thing because I know absolutely nothing about the sport. In promotion of next week's upcoming Inked In Blood 2: Dead By Dawn match, Travis Roberts, AKA Stoney Schiavone, steps in to help us understand the differences between indie and pro wrestling. We talked about the scripting process, how many hats everyone wears to get a single match set up on a monthly basis, and that a lot more time is tasked up behind the scenes than on the camera. A commentator for the indie wrestling company Ruthless Pro Wrestling in Northwest Ohio, Travis talks about how he got to where he is and his particular love for the career he has chased for years.  Needless to say, I learned a lot. Keep an eye out for the show this weekend on July 2nd in Maybee, Michigan, and be sure to check out Ruthless Pro Wrestling on IWTV.

Actress Sera Barbieri stopped by the show to talk about her role in Potato Dreams of America. The film is based on a true story and while it is humorous and fun-filled it gives a true look at what it's like to be a child in Russia - at least back then - and travel to the states as the gay son of a mail-order-bride mother. It's an inspirational flick and I gathered a lot from speaking with her, such as which shots were recorded in which order and why, the festival runs for the movie, and a lot more. Check it out and be sure to check out Potato Dreams of America which just hit Blu-Ray this week - and if you like what you hear be sure to watch the full video version on the Literary Joe Youtube Channel here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJ7Mbt-lN2g

The wonderful Chloe Traicos spoke with us today! She is very well known for the documentary she directed when she was younger about the truths of where she grew up - Zimbabwe. Because of this, she could no longer travel from Australia back to where she was born, so she ultimately moved to the states where she took to continue her work in film. Recently Chloe released Introducing Jodea on VOD as her newest film which is about a terrible actress who strikes a vein of luck by being crashed into by a director, causing the two to clash in an explosive plot leading to them working together to entertain. Chloe came on to discuss The Righteous Gemstones, which she acts in on HBO MAX. She was the original wife of Walton Goggins in the show and while she can't say she'll be back, there are still open plotlines around her character, and a new season is coming up, so... We hope you enjoy the chat and be sure to tune into others! Make sure you watch Righteous Gemstones on HBO and take a peek at Introducing Jodea on VOD.

This episode features actress Anja Taljaard in support of her newest film, Glasshouse: Kill or Be Killed. After chatting with director Kelsey Egan about the movie, I was very excited to get Anja's take on what can be quite a confusing horror thriller. We talked about how Anja initially became a part of the project and what her take on the original script was. Learning that she was asked to read for two separate roles during the audition was more than interesting, so we clearly embellished on that a bit. Touching on the fun bits, in the beginning, we eventually move into spoiler territory for the movie so be sure to listen for that warning if you haven't yet checked out the movie. We were able to dig into the real goods and bones of the film once we were off the leash, so it's worth listening to the whole episode at your own risk of plot reveal. Be sure to check out Glasshouse: Kill or Be Killed, on digital now from Voyage Media!

Today's episode is a bit more special than usual. After interviewing KateLynn E. Newberry in support of Isolated recently, I wanted to reach out to the screenwriter of the film. As it turns out, we aren't only from the same town, but we are actually friends from high school. (What a twist!) Screenwriter Michael Ferree sat down and indulged me for nearly 45 minutes about Isolated since I had so many questions about the horror-thriller flick and the mystery throughout the movie. I refuse to spoil it, but because of the massive twist in the film, we spend most of the chat talking about the first two acts and then a spoiler section of the show which we properly preface - so have no worries! While having Michael on we chatted about the three films that he has been working on, and while information is scarcely available on one upcoming movie, we did learn quite a bit about his movie Seven Days 'Till Midnight, so be sure to check that out as well and be sure to check out the brand new release of Isolated on DVD and Digital!

While many dystopian-based stories seem similar to the general audience, particularly those who follow pandemics - especially now that COVID-19 has made such a big impact on people, the emotion that the coronavirus has brought with us transfers to art. That's just one of the topics that are brought to life during this awesome chat with the director of Glasshouse: Kill or be Killed, Kelsey Egan. We discuss her newest movie in which the pandemic causes memory to be erased rather than anything more deadly. With such a different piece of art, it's no surprise that the movie got a 90 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Kelsey and I talked about her slate of movies coming out - a trio of films including Glasshouse: Kill or be Killed. In addition, The Fix, which Kelsey wrote 9 years ago, is in post-production beyond the slate. We had a killer time and I think you guys will have a lot of fun so check it out and make sure to let me know your thoughts!

Chatting with model and actress Katelynn E. Newberry we were able to learn a lot about the upcoming sci-fi horror film Isolated before it's released. The movie itself is set to drop in four days and rides almost entirely on Newberry's shoulders as she is, for the most part, the only thespian for the majority of the film. While the movie is toted to be in the vein of Red Eye or Devil, it also has heavy elements from things such as Westworld that definitely open the genre to a wider audience and tap into a further perspective. Katelynn just so happens to be the model for the Ohio Lottery, the state which I'm from so we definitely talked about that a little - not that it had to do with the movie, but there was a lot of fun sprinkled in with the business iota. In so many words, we had a killer time, no pun intended. Enjoy yourself and let me know your thoughts -after you subscribe, of course- and be sure to check out Isolated on the 14th for its North American release!

If you've ever wondered how tuned up the antics could get if Spongebob Squarepants has a child twist to it you're in luck and Kamp Koral: Spongebob's Under Years is perfect for you. To support the new project the voice actors who provide voice performances for Spongebob Squarepants and Patrick Star, Tom Kenny and Bill Fagerbakke spent some time chatting with me for a bit. They spoke a lot of the reasons they enjoy Kamp Koral: Spongebob's Under Years, the other adventures they would like to see the young versions of their characters, and the two explain why the dialogue is more important than the pitch of the voice when it comes to expressing age. Spongebob actor Tom Kenny himself expressed that they jokingly refer to the series of shows as the SBU or the Spongebob Universe, inspired by the MCU. He also explains how much he loves his job and that every day is different because there are Kamp Koral as well as the Patrick Star show both happening in addition to the main series. It's an incredibly fun chat with two charismatic and intensely fun individuals (three if you count me) and it was legendary to speak with both of them. You guys are going to really love this one so grab the popcorn and kick those legs up, you're headed to Bikini Bottom!

Known for her work on Smash and Wicked professional singer and voice actress Megan Hilty joins us on the show to talk about her character in Trollstopia Season 6.   Since Hilty has been on the show before we were able to build on that foundation and really see how Holly Darlin' and even Megan herself have evolved in the meantime. We discuss a potential spin-off series featuring the characters played by Kelly Clarkson and Hilty herself.   It's a fantastic time and Megan is always filled with laughter, check it out and I hope you enjoy!

Aimee Garcia is a blast in this interview! We talk about her affinity for playing tech-savvy Latina characters and how that continues on to her newest project, Dragons: 9 Realms. We chat about why Aimee decided to join the How to Train Your Dragon franchise and how her character parallels to herself and the character she plays in Lucifer. Of course, we couldn't go without mentioning Dexter: New Blood, and although the actress confirms she won't be joining the new show this season, she did talk a bit about her connection with the other actors from the series. Aimee even takes a moment to discuss her role in M.O.D.O.K. and talk about her own written comics. She even reads an excerpt from her own Wonder Woman DC comic, and all in all, we had a blast - I'm sure you will too!

The focus of this interview is the newest Marvel film, Eternals. Speaking with Weta Digital's VFX Supervisor and Animation Supervisor Sidney Kombo-Kintombo. We go into detail about how they did the effects in the film, including Angelina Jolie's character of Thena being CGI apart from her face for the entire film, the evolution of the deviants, the scenes with Arishem, and the focus on each of the Eternals' celestial powers. Excitingly, we also spoke about the popular mid-credits scene in Eternals in which Harry Styles and Patton Oswalt are introduced as Eros and Pip the Troll respectively. We learned about how the actors were riffing and ad-libbing in the scene and how Patton Oswalt wasn't even short enough - he had to act on his knees! I think you guys will learn a lot with this one, and Matt and Sidney are awesome guys to speak with and did an incredible job with the cinematics.

To promote Blade Runner: Black Lotus ahead of its Adult Swim premiere, we were able to join in on the press junket and speak with several of the cast members that voice in the new anime series from Toonami and Crunchyroll.

We talk in detail about the voice acting process for each of them as well as their experience with sci-fi roles inspired by Blade Runner itself. I hope you enjoy it, and be sure to tune into Blade Runner: Black Lotus when it premieres on Adult Swim this Saturday, November 13th!
