I had the pleasure of sitting down with actor, director, and writer Edson Jean. Edson teaches me all about nonstop positivity and having a can-do attitude, all while discussing the ways of creating something you’re passionate about, and putting the work into getting it done. Not only is Edson constantly working on new projects, he continues to slay the local arts scene in Miami, including his new feature “Ludi.” So make sure to check out the site for the film, along with his production company “Bantufy.” Now listen in as we take a journey through the arts that inspired us.

Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome, and thank you all for tuning in! Today's episode is one for the books my good people. I had the pleasure of catching up with my comrade, Jose Elosegui. What a guy! This man is just a force of creativity and positivity. He has always been an advocator for the arts, and a natural performer. I hope you find his wisdom and insight just as inspiring as I did. So join us as we take you along ridiculous banter and nonsense, while hopefully sharing some insight and enlightenment.

Here we go again folks, and welcome back! We have Jordan Knapp in the building! (not really. we were socially distanced, staring at each other through our computer screens) But she was here in spirit! And let me say, you won’t be “Knapp-ing” during this episode. (i’m sorry. i’m only human) But Jordan has always had a spark for creativity, and a can-do-attitude. We discuss her acting career, and the performing arts, including the theater company that her and her friends started called “Raccoons Milk.” I’ve attached some links were you can find out more about the company, so make sure to check them out.  Anyways, enjoy the show!Love, Kris Movies / Television:“Lady Bird” (2017)“Remember The Titans” (2000)“The Office: US” (2005)“The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy” (2005)Music:Música Popular Brasileira or “MPB”Books:“The Paris Wife” by Paula McLain“Marjorie Morningstar” by Herman WoukAd: The French Express Yourself “The French Press That Gets You”Raccoons Milk Theatre Company:https://www.facebook.com/RaccoonsMilk/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCO2VWvPvnUrZA2OUJkKQ3rw/featuredhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/Raccoons-Milk-Theatre-CompanyInstagram: @raccoonsmilk Instagram: @nottherealjk @kristianlugoThemes by @gilbertlouieraymusicQuestions?

Here we go again with a brand new  episode of this show that I do. This episode was a real treat, ladies and gentlemen. We have Michael Napoles on the program! Michael is a good friend who's always meant a lot to me. You can tell by his standard apathetic attitude,  and lack of expression that he had a wonderful time helping me host this episode.  Regardless to say, I can always count on Mr. Napoles  to bring his superior wit, charm, and wisdom when called upon. And without surprise, he did not disappoint.  So enjoy our ridiculous rants on life, liberty, and the pursuit of tolerableness on this weeks episode of Conversations From A Room. Love, Kris Movies:Pretty Woman (1990)Sweet Home Alabama (2002)Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993)Saw (2004)Pineapple Express (2008)Hercules (2014)Music:Top 40… (wtf?)Books:“Ball Four” by Jim Bouton“Lords Of The Realm” by John HelyarAd: U-Topper Mattress “The Mattress That Sleeps On You”instagram: @kristianlugoThemes by @gilbertlouieraymusicQuestions?

Please join me this week as I catch up with my old friend Chris Farach, while we discuss heavy topics like, learning how to face rejection, understanding the deep meaning of existence, and yes, what exactly a poop scuba diver is. (To be honest, I still don't really know) But nonetheless, we touch upon some pretty inspiring material that I hope gives you perspective as much as it gave me.  We may not be the most wise individuals, but we sure as hell carry a heavy heart.

Today I'm blessed to sit and discuss the world with my good friend Skyler McKinley, the international man of mystery. One word to describe Mr. McKinley; exuberant. He is one of the wittiest and cleverest cats that I've had the pleasure of knowing. I hope he brings to your little ears the joy and wonder that he brings to mine.

It is officially 2021, and I couldn't be happier to start back on the show with my old comrade Julian Garcia, coming to you all the way from Beacon, New York.  Julian and I discuss how much of a shit show 2020 was, but we don't fail to mention all the silver linings that have come out of it. We also discovered that the main demographic for this podcast is pre-teens. Which is a good indicator for the quality of this program. (It's really dumb.) But hey, you get what you paid for. (It's a free show you cheap bastards.) Well, it's good to be back! Let's hope for an amazing new year. Now strap in kids, cuz this is CONVERSATIONS FROM A MOTHER FUCKIN ROOM! Love , Kris PS. I normally don't talk like this, sorry. It's just late, and honestly I'm not even quite sure anyone reads these. Ad: "Cozy Covers" For Those With Sensitive Finger Tips.Instagram: @julian_alexanderthegreat   @kristianlugoThemes by @gilbertlouieraymusicQuestions?

This episode is a personal favorite and a special one at that, for I was able to bring on the Lugo's. Recorded all the way from our home in Miami Florida, my own bro and sis join the podcast and discuss all things film, television, music, life, food and full on ridiculousness. That's right folks, this is "The Family Special." But is it family friendly? Probably not...  Without further ado, enjoy this brand new episode of Conversations From A Room. Love , Kris Ads: "Hot Butts" / "Don't Be Late...

Another beautifully done quarantine episode with my dear old friend Michael Anaya coming to you live (no this is not live) all the way from New Orleans. Michael and I share our interests in the films, shows, music, and books that  have been keeping us sane during all the down time and the work we're able to get done while everything else has come to a terrifying halt. But it's ok kids, sooner or later we'll be able to hold hands again and share Juuls like society was meant to be. Also in the episode Micheal discuss' his wood working business, "M.A. Designs" so make sure to click the link attached to check out his work and if you're a New Orleans local, give him money and he'll make you something.  Same goes for his fiance Katherine who also runs her own side business, "NOLA Nails & Mermaid Tails." So check out her site as well in the link below. Damn... why haven't I started my own side business? I'm thinking bite sized bagels but they come with pizza toppings and you can only heat them while they're scorching hot. I don't know... might be something there.Anyways!

Welcome back to another episode of "The Quarantine Series" on Conversations From A Room.  Today is extra special because this episode is brought to you by "Fresh Of Breath Air".  LA's hottest sketch comedy troupe on the market (not at all). A rag-tag team of jack-holes by the names of Julio Macias, Alex Vergel, Maxwell Hamilton, and myself. These guys all drop in for a little "zoom" chat about... well nothing really (It's a real Seinfeld situation). But we make sure to share our insights on what we've been doing to keep ourselves entertained during these trying times (honestly folks it's just a lot of film & tv).

Welcome folks to my very first quarantine episode with one of my dearest friends mister Alfie Ramirez via video chat all the way from New York City. I knew this was going to be a weird dive into the web-chat world  but I decided to jump on the "Zoom" train along with everyone else, and I was wise to pick the perfect candidate to try this experiment with me. I think we pulled it off beautifully! Alfie and I discuss all the ways we've been adapting to our new lifestyle under quarantine and ways we've been trying to keep busy (and the answer is pretty much just not doing anything at all...) So join me and the grooviest guy I know for The Quarantine Series on Conversations From A Room. Love, KrisAlso as I mentioned at the top of the episode, here's where you can donate directly to the Center of Disease Control and purchase mask's from The Reformation. CDC Foundation: https://give4cdcf.org/?utm_source=CDCF&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=combat-coronavirusThe Reformation Masks: https://www.thereformation.com/pages/millionsofmasksThemes by @gilbertlouieraymusicInstagram: @alfiesauce   @kristianlugoQuestions?

Ladies and Gentlemen quarantining all over the world. Gather round and tune into a brand new, germ free, fresh episode of Conversations From A Room. And what a special episode it is, for I get to sit down with not one, but two very excellent, artistic, and inspiring human beings. Long time friend Joshua Jean-Baptiste, and new best friend Frank Hernandez. The best part about talking with these guys is that although we’re just big clowns, we're equally super passionate about the arts. We talk about our process on how to communicate to an audience, the seriousness of a good joke, and the grit we need in order to push through. Also we discuss the importance in speaking the truth in any art form. It’s the only way in really connecting to the audience. And as always, we go hard on film and the movies that matter to us. Whether good or bad, there’s always something to discuss. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. Love,Kris Ad: Bernie-Bots: Every Flavor Movies “Change the way you taste your films”Theme by @gilbertlouieraymusicInstagram: @joshjeanb   @frankapm   @kristianlugoQuestions?

Today I get to sit down with an all around amazing and talented dude, Josh Gilmer ladies and gentlemen! Josh and I right away had so much to discuss considering we are one of the same. We both have an incredible passion for the world of cinema and the art of performing. Growing up in a small town Josh new he was ready to break out of his shell and hit the big leagues. We’re talking Hollywood baby! Acting wasn’t the first thing Josh imagined he’d be taking as a career path but he fell in love with the craft and has been pursuing it ever since. We talk about the pressure working on film, preparing for a role, committing to your work, and completely trusting yourself to get the job done even if doubt carries a heavy toll. Because at the end of the day its “Go Big or Go Home”…. (walks away in slow motion while car explodes in the background without looking back… even though you really want to) Love, Kris P.S.

Men, women, and children… gather round for a new story of great joy and despair, of great cleverness and stupidity, and of course of great conversation and complete waste of time! Put your hands together for my guest today, Matt Linton. We have a nice fun chat about the world of comedy, something we both hold close to our hearts. Comedy is the reason why Matt got into entertainment in the first place. Starting off as a straight laced business man, Matt realized working in comedy was waaaaay better (obviously). He realized right away not only was comedy something he truly loved to do, but that he was pretty damn good at it. Matt started doing sketch comedy and improv at USC where he was able to explore his funny side, making his presence in the comedy community, and pursuing it ever since. We’ll discuss our favorite live experiences, why comedy is important in life, what our families probably think of us, and why the fuck everyone listens to Joe Rogan. So welcome to a new day folks, this is Conversations From A Room.  Love, Kris Ad: “Motivation Poop Station” with special guest creator and CEO Brian Stencers Theme by @gilbertlouieraymusicInstagram: @mattlinton11   @kristianlugoQuestions?

Today I sit down with a gentlemen and a scholar, Jon Young. We discuss the true nature of hard work, confidence, and foolery. Jon has always knew he was going to be in some way or another a man at center stage. Whether it was on a baseball diamond or in front of a live audience, Jon is no stranger to crowds of people cheering him on. He’s had a lot of ups and downs in his life but nothing has ever stopped him from pursing his dreams. I had the pleasure of hearing Jon’s story and his views on Hollywood, performing, film, and why he laughs in the face of fear (Yes… that’s what said). So enjoy this new episode with actor, comedian, writer, and producer Jon Young.Love, KrisAd: Special guest Mike Micheals stops by to promote his new product “Java Good Mornin"Theme by @gilbertlouieraymusicInstagram: @jonyoungactor   @kristianlugoQuestions?

A man that means so goddam much to me, Noah Gray ladies and gentlemen! This guy right here has been a part of my life for so long that I consider him a brother (even though I would never want him in my family). We discuss his life in politics and his career as a man of “the press.” We eventually talk about fun stuff, don’t worry. Like Truman Capote dropping in as a special guest to promote “Love Handles.” (yes, that’s what I said). Love, KrisAlso if anyone knows how to get in touch with Seth Rogan, DM Noah or I.

Oh my god, its Maxwell Hamilton. Kids take notes because this man is a gem. Max and I get serious about the real things, and then real about the serious things. Like ADD medication, loneliness, and the pursuit of living as an adult child. We discuss, our love for theater, and the art of the performance. Not to mention his work as a musician, creating his first music project called “DRFTRS.” He does it all folks! He’s insane! *pulling chunks of hair out of head. Love, Kris Ad: Special guest David Schaboil stops by the show to promote his Essential Oil shop, “Oils on Oils,” located in Silver Lake. Theme by @gilbertlouieraymusicInstagram: @maxwellhamilton   @kristianlugo

I got Sean Earl in the house to talk about his life, his music, and his love for danish sausages. Sean, born and raised in sunny southern California, shares some stories about meeting his brother for the first time, how his life experiences influenced his artistic creativity, his entire history of music and the transitions he’s made into the musician he is today. Oh, and we also discuss the importance of comedy, and why he says Marvel trumps his love for Star Wars. Sean also performs one of his original songs, “On a Porch in Idaho” as a very special treat.

Welcome back my friends. I sit down with an old friend of mine, the OG, Kelly Hall. She shares her experiences in moving to LA for the arts and what it’s been like surviving in Hollywood as an actor. Despite living in Miami for most of her life, raised by Cubans and Americans, we also discover that she is actually a full quarter French (there’s absolutely no sign of it btw, besides maybe her love for bread.) We discus why racism is stupid (obviously), why she can’t watch scary movies unless she knows who’s going to die, and we invent an all new awards series called “The Backyard Awards.” So shut up and listen up. Here’s Conversations From a Room. Love, Kris. instagram: @kelly_hall   @kristianlugo  

This is where I talk to one of the most interesting humans I know, Zane Plattor. For those of you who haven’t been given the pleasure to meet Zane, he is a kind and gentle soul that originates from Miami, Florida. Zane and I became good friends in High School where we bonded over just being goofy and enjoying life. I sit down with Zane to discuss his big move to Los Angeles and his new experiences in the one of the most bustling cities in the world. We talk about all the benefits of living in California, why Terminator 2 is the best movie ever, his first time driving, and why he believes he’s still learning (aka he might be a crappy driver, so watch out angelenos). So here it is folks, enjoy the show. Love, Kris Instagram: @urbansquidward @kristianlugo 

I sit down with actor, director, lover (maybe, I don't know), and all around creative guy, Alex Vergel. He tells us what it was like growing up in Japan, Hawaii, and California, and why is wasn’t always easy to fit in. As he put it “I was too American for Japan and too Japanese for America.” Using film and televison as an escape, it inspired him to work professionally as an actor and director, and he shares the visceral experiences he’s had as an artist. Also, we discuss our obsession with films from the 80’s and the peak of Nicolas Cage. We agree score music is the best music, and we talk real books (the comic-book kind of course). I never said this was an educational podcast. Here it is folks! Throw on those AirPods and enjoy the show! xoxoLove, KrisInstagram: @mucho_beaucoup @kristianlugo

Ladies and gentlemen, I had the pleasure of sitting down with a very talented individual, Gilbert Louie Ray Montoya. Gilbert has been performing as a musician for years with his band in Los Angeles performing mixes of Americana, Bluegrass, Folk and Country. But I brought him on the show to discuss his first solo album which debuted last year. He named it “My Best Friends Call Me Gil.” You can find it on iTunes, Amazon Music, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever else music is found. We talk about what inspired him to make the album (mostly from drinking, relationships, traveling with his band, and being one of the few locals from Los Angeles) We’ll discuss how his father, a singer and musician, was the reason he picked up music, and why his album was inspired and dedicated to his grandfather who gave him the creative space to explore his craft and passion for music which was why he decided to sport a picture of his grandfather as the cover for the album. Gilbert also gives us the first live performance on the show, playing one of his original songs “Beginning of Being,” giving a powerhouse performance on guitar and harmonica. We get into our favorite sci-fi and fantasy trilogies, the writings of Joseph Campbell, and which musicians he relates to the most. And at the end of the episode, I’ll showcase one of Gilberts songs from his solo album, “City Of Angels.” Turn on loud and enjoy my babies! Love, Kris instagram: @gilbertlouieraymusic @kristianlugo

Here it is folks! My first hip-hop, reggaeton artist on the show, and one of my very amazing friends, Enoc Aguado, aka “El Enocian.” The name he’s made for himself as he became highly recognized in the music world with several hit singles you can now check out on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon Music, SoundCloud, or wherever else music is found, you’ll see him there. Enoc has been making great strides since his move to Los Angeles when he was only 19, coming from, as he calls it, a “rockstar lifestyle.” We discuss his early days in Miami and the conscious decision he made to strive for a better healthier life. We even touch on an entire topic about his name, “Enoc,” and how there’s apparently 37 different ways to say it, and what it means to different people. We get into the benefits of networking, collaborating, reaching out, opening your heart, and following your true voice. We talk about Einstein’s String Theory, and why Enoc would be the perfect addition for the next “Guardians of the Galaxy” movie. I was even given the pleasure of sampling one of his new singles, “Otra Mujer,” which won’t be released until Valentines Day 2019. So make sure to check out the entire song when it comes out. Also stick around till the end of the episode to listen to one of his current hit singles “Lo Pasamos Bien.” So here it is kids, enjoy! Love, Kris Instagram: @enocianmusic @kristianlugo

Alright listen up. This week I had the pleasure of sitting down with a very cool cat, Mr. Benjamin Michael Theobald (made up name probably…) This guy and I realized we had so much in common and might have accidentally became best friends in the recording (you can almost hear the blushing). We discuss tattoos, we discuss Kentucky, we discuss Hollywood, and if you think it won’t get anymore American than that, you better think twice my friend, because we sum it all up with “Back To The Future!” The greatest trilogy in history (after The Hangover trilogy of course). And a shout out to Shari Shaw Studios for letting Ben and I hone our craft and create some exciting stuff every week. And if you’re ever looking for Ben out in the world, look for the guy sitting alone smoking a Marlboro 27 with a black coffee and two Splenda’s. Love, KrisInstagram: @steelyphil @kristianlugo

Hello, Hello! I’m back with a brand new episode and a fresh conversation with my good friend (and neighbor) Sam May! Sam digs up stories about experimenting with drugs for the first time in High School and how his mom ended up finding out about it from his friends no good ratting out mother, Pam (thanks a lot Pam!) He shares the story of Claws, his childhood pet turtle that run away to his negligent neighbors house. We discuss the perks of working in production sound for film and television, and I find out why Snyder Texas was ranked USA Today’s top 50 places to live. (spoiler alert: it’s a super small town and everything is very cheap) Then we talk horror films. (What? A week before Christmas?) Well that’s because this episode was actually recorded back in October. Sorry Santa! But sit back, listen, and enjoy. Love, Kris Instagram: @sammaysound @kristianlugo

I recently sat down with my very good friend Julio Macias. We discuss his parents early life in Mexico City and some of the struggles they had to overcome as young adults, including his mothers brave involvement at protesting the Olympics held in her home town in Mexico in the 1960’s, and why Julio is proud to call his mother a feminist. He shares a very intimate story about how he and his family were once held at gun point when he was just a child, and the decision his parents made to aim for a safer life in the United States. We find out about Julio’s embarrassing first day of school in America, and the one friend he found solace with named Kennith (shout out to Kennith!) I ask Julio about the experience working on his breakout role, Oscar ‘Spooky’ Diaz, that he portrays on the Netflix series “On My Block.” He then tries his hardest to discuss a scene from the film “Kate & Leopold,” but we realize we’ve accidentally got to drunk during this recording to make any damn sense... so that happens. Oh and Rachel makes a cameo! Love, Krisinstagram: @ajuliomacias @kristianlugo 

Today I sit down with my good friend Kevin Mahoney (“the wind that shakes the barley”) where we discuss his “idealistic” childhood growing up in Minnesota. We get into the origins of our last names and our rebellious teens (you know, the 2000’s…). We’ll talk about the importance of a strong relationship in family and why we both hate talking on the phone (unless it’s our mother of course). Kevin shares his experiences on becoming a writer, what inspires him, and where he finds that inspiration. We’ll discuss Marvel and DC films, our favorite comics, the power of female comedians, and the type of music his dad introduced him to. I find out that Minnesota Christmas is way different than Florida Christmas, and I’m pretty sure I get the ninja turtles mixed up (my bad). Oh and Kevin is convinced no one will ever listen to this podcast (so please prove him wrong). Love, Kris twitter: @KMahon37  @notkristianlugo instagram: @kristianlugo (Kevin doesn't have one. Lame) letterboxd: KMahon37, kristianlugo

Hello, hello! Welcome back for episode three of C.F.A.R. Today I sit down with a very funny human, actor and comedian Jarron Robinson. He’ll tell us about his early life in Memphis Tennessee, his transition  into Hollywood, and what it’s like doing stand-up comedy, including all the experiences that come with it. Even the bad ones (mostly the bad ones.) We’ll discuss some of the worst movies we’ve seen, some of the best, and we rate all M. Night Shyamalan’s films (not really. just the ones we remember). Also we talk about dealing with nerves and how learning to work with it. Love, Kris instagram: @jron27 @kristianlugo

Welcome back folks to episode two of Conversations From A Room! I'm so glad you've made it this far. (please don't leave...) Today I sit down with my favorite newlyweds, Chris and Sharliamar Konomi. Shala tells us about her career as a birth doula and how the practice of yoga helped shape her life. We discuss why commitment and compromise is key to a healthy relationship; we’ll talk about what “church” means to us, what on earth is “IHOB,” and Sharliamar’s live, one person show, of Tom Hank’s classic “Forest Gump!” (the best movie ever) Oh, and Chris reveals why he only ever knew about prom through American films.  Love, Kris instagram: @sajeandluna @chrisrastaman7 @kristianlugo

Welcome everyone to the very first episode of Conversations From A Room! Wow this is actually happening... If you're listening to this I give you my blessing. Today I sit down with my very first guest, and what a guest it is, my love bug, Rachel Cole! We discuss how we first met for the second time, (huh?), and what it was like for her growing up in the great white north, (it's Canada guys). We talk about Keto dieting, Biohacking, fasting, meditation, and healthy lifestyle choices (this basically turns into a nutrition podcast so hope you're into that!) Oh and we mention that Brendan Fraser is still awesome.  Love, Kris instagram: @itsrachelcole @kristianlugo
