“Criminally underrated” is what one Letterboxd critic called Irving Franco's second feature, ADAM THE FIRST (2024). The film stunned me. The logline: “after finding a list of names and addresses, 14-year-old Adam sets out across the country to meet a series of men who could be his father.” It's a hero's journey, well-acted, and the last few scenes will crush you. Irving also scored the film, which you don't see very often. So why is it misunderstood? We talk about it in this episode with this two time feature writer-director-composer, Irving Franco. In this episode, Irving and I discuss:Does he check his Letterboxd reviews?How he got started in filmmaking;The lost art of DVD commentaries;His scrappy start to CHEERLEADER (2016) and how he was able to jump straight to a feature without making a short or proof of concept;Did his sales background help him with his pitching and his ability to raise funds for his first film?What he took out of his first film to making his second feature, 8 years later;Should you crowdfund at the end of the project?The inspiration for the writing of his films and the joys of including a hero's journey in a film;The casting of David Duchovny and what that means for indie filmmakers;The range required by Oakes Fegley and how he saw that in casting;Did he know that he had something great?The rarity of writer-director-composer; what should indie filmmakers know about scoring their film;The ending of ADAM THE FIRST and the power of a forceful conclusion;What's next for him and how we hopefully don't have to wait another 8 years between features, along with love for NYC (of course).Irving's Indie Film Highlight: GOOD TIME (2017) dir. by Benny Safdie & Josh Safdie Links:Follow Irving On InstagramSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/first-time-go/exclusive-content

"I may as well be my best cheerleader, because the world's not gonna. It's not like the world is out to get you, it's just, as we say, there's so many people putting their hat in the ring for all these jobs, that it's just the way it is. It's just the way it is. Like you might not get seen. But if you translate that to something about you being wrong, that energy just chips away at you. The next one is not going to be as good."Today's episode was ripped directly from one of our 10,000 NOs Working Actors Community weekly zooms where Matt addresses the challenges that face our members. Today, we discuss staying in the right mindset. Understanding that rejection is part of the game. If we can reframe each rejection and understand that it means we are one step closer to our "yes" than we have a much better shot at not giving up and achieving our goals. We have to be our own cheerleader and infuse positivity in order to buoy us when things may be harder than we might want in the moment. 10,000 NOs is here to inspire you and help you realize you are not alone if you're battling to overcome rejection in your career or life.So, if you're an actor, writer or filmmaker and you like what you hear in the snippets from our Working Actors Community zooms enough to want to be a part of it, CLICK HERE.Remember, “failure” is just opportunity in disguise, and you can flip the script to make your setbacks serve you.SHOW LINKS:10,000 NOs: THE BOOKSUBSCRIBE TO OUR (WEEKLY) NEWSLETTERFOLLOW MATT ON SOCIALFIND OUT HOW YOU CAN JOIN THE WORKING ACTORS COMMUNITY

0:00–15:00 — Cold open, the Wheel spins, and cursed parrots + creepy woods The rules of the game: rack up points to reach the “Tower of Truth,” fall short and it's back to the “Land of Lunacy.” First spin delivers a wild mini-doc: opium-addicted parrots raiding poppy fields in India—farmers can't stop them, and the birds crash hard when harvest ends. Sam lays out a “don't celebrate anyone's death” rant (framed around the online pile-on over Charlie Kirk), pointing at how elites love when we fight each other. Then we shift spooky: a Southern-Gothic “Granny's rules for the woods” reading—don't follow lights, don't answer your name, and if the dog won't enter, neither should you. 15:00–30:00 — Feel-good pet city → hot-button “Enhanced Games” Live chat asks about an over-the-counter aid for autistic kids; Sam promises to circle back before the end. Wholesome palate cleanser: a guy who's spent two years building a miniature town for his pets—pure internet serotonin. Big pivot: the “Enhanced Games”—a no-testing, PED-friendly league with track, swimming, and weightlifting; they even tout a record that beats an Olympic gold medalist's time. We kick around the ethics and the rubber-neck appeal. 30:00–45:00 — Viral 9/11 cheer routine in Texas + “UFO disclosure” talk We watch the jaw-dropper of the night: a high-school 9/11 cheer routine (complete with Pentagon gags and a smoke machine). The crowd reaction is… complicated, and so is ours. That segues into a guest clip arguing we're at the “finish line” of UFO disclosure thanks to recent legislation and hearings—skepticism included. 45:00–60:00 — 27 Club lore → Moon orbs → “they're selling our crap back to us” The Wheel lands on the “27 Club”: Brian Jones to Amy Winehouse, numerology riffs, and whether the pattern is myth, math, or something darker. Space weirdness break: a backyard telescope video shows a flashing red light with orbs circling the Moon—cue uneasy vibes and Moon-truth jokes. Sam cracks that Big Pharma is literally “selling our crap back to us,” after a clip about, uh, very bodily-based treatments—you get the idea. 60:00–75:00 — Sam's Corner mailbag, Satanism/Saturnism, and MKUltra/Stargate Follow-up for the dad in chat: the supplement name shared is “leucovorin” (spelled out on-air so parents can note it). A former “satanic organization” insider clip claims an evolving “agenda” through 2027—our hosts react and relate it to broader cultural patterns. Occult detour: “Satanism is Saturnism,” symbolism breakdowns (the goat, magic squares, pop-culture sigils). Then we hit MKUltra and the Army's Stargate remote-viewing program—mind control vs. psychic espionage, and what the government actually studied. 75:00–90:00 — Victory lap to 3,500 live → one last jaw-dropper → sign-off We crest 3,500 live viewers; Sam wonders if we just did our greatest episode ever, then vows to get off an “unholy number” on the wheel and into Sam's Corner. Final short: a protest-style clip that starts as “we won't be silenced” and swerves into a provocative chant—ending the show on a spicy note. Curtain call and thanks—what a ride.

The National Football League has added "male cheerleaders" to the mix — a recent phenomenon. How to Christians respond to the sexualization and homosexualization of the NFL? We pursue a discussion on the gender blender in dress, hairstyle, body movements, etc. It's not so much the feminization of the male, as it is the softening and emasculating of the modern male. What's the remedy?

There's really no other way to explain it. Trump, Republicans and their media cheerleaders promised for years that the Epstein files were the mother of all deep state scandals. But now? Never mind, it's just a hoax, they say. They're covering up for men who raped underage girls. No other explanation makes sense. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
