Happy New Year everyone! Here's a bonus episode that we recently sat down to record. We wanted to expand upon a couple of filmmaking documentaries that we profiled on our previous movie catch-up, American Movie & Overnight. 

American Movie is a 1999 documentary about a Wisconsin independent filmmaker named Mark Borchardt, while Overnight tells the story of first time filmmaker Troy Duffy as he makes his debut with The Boondock Saints. Both are really different yet similar stories about the struggles that come with making movies. This discussion also got us on the topic of film school and our own experiences studying film. We'd love to hear from any of you that also studied film in college and what you thought of the experience. 

Thanks for your support for another year! We can't wait to put out even more Patreon content for you this new year!

Hi guys, I’ve just subscribed to your Patreon and I really enjoy the content you put out there on the podcast. Have you ever considered Wolf starring Jack Nicholson for the show? Thanks again

I’m excited for the 5th Indy movie and I think if anything, it’ll be a better send off for the character then the fourth one and if it’s bad, I’ll pretend it and the 4th don’t exist and it’s a perfect trilogy.

For the podcast 2023, I’m hoping for part 2 of the Mel brooks retrospective since I ended up watching all of his movies last year due to the silent movie episode and am interested to hear your thoughts on the back half of his career.

Joe and Ryan please, do a Call In show, I would love to rant to you two about the dumb bullshit I think of, and I would love to share my hot takes to more people outside of my Twitter followers

To me the worst part about the Indy trailer is when he says "magic isn't real" like dude you literally saw a dude turn into a skeleton in front of your eyes TWICE!!

My boyfriend went to Full Sail and that’s where we met! (I’m a community college dropout lol) I’ll ask if he has anything cool to add after we listen :)

With the combination of American Movie being an all-time favorite of mine and also hearing your film school stories, I was already thinking this was one of the best Patreon-exclusive episodes. Then, I get a bonus shout-out. I wear my t-shirt proudly. Thanks guys! (And, I’ll remember to send any future feedback/stories through Patreon.)
