Original Release Date: Monday 14 April 2025    Description:   This week's episode finds Dean Haglund and Phil Leirness in fine form, discussing this year's Oscar-winning animated feature Flow, how it was made, and why actual cats might be enjoying it! The "Lawsuit of the Week" returns, and it is a rather astounding one involving a once Oscar-nominated filmmaker. Phil and Dean both relate to a recent Substack post by one of Phil's favorite journalists entitled, "We Are Schrödinger's Cat". You will find out why. Dean learns some very cool things about the Helsingør locale where he was married, including about a (rather legendary, though rarely-seen) version of Hamlet entirely shot there and about the World War II "underground railroad" operation run through there! The Scandinavian countries are very much on Phil's mind. Dean and Phil discuss how high those countries rank on the list of "happiest" countries and how low the USA ranks. Two recent Scandinavian horror films (this past year's Oscar-nominated The Girl with the Needle and the 2021 supernatural thriller The Innocents) both get reviewed, and the world's first open-air museum, the Norsk Folkemusuem, gets described. Finally, Phil tips his hat to the success of the just-completed season 3 of "The White Lotus", while Dean grabs his popcorn and pours his wine and sits down to start season 1!

Original Release Date: Monday 25 March 2025    Description:   Due to the ridiculous travel itineraries of your friends in podcasting, this week's show is coming at you one day late, but is jumbo-sized to make up for its tardiness! The festivities get started on a midnight train ride through Denmark two Saturdays back as Phil Leirness and Jon Lawlor discussed sandwiches, the English language, the honor system of Copenhagen and swapped tales of the magnificent Copenhagen City Hall. Then, back in Los Angeles, Phil quizzes Lily Holleman (Leirness) about the terrors of London Heathrow Airport, the joys of steam-punk weddings, the incredible history of the Koronborg Slot (aka “Hamlet's Castle”), the delights of Copenhagen breakfasts, and the inspiring art of Edvard Munch. Finally, Phil connects with Dean Haglund, who is enjoying his honeymoon in Portugal. They discuss Dean's nuptials, their respective Nordic ancestry, Dean's visit to Paris, the delights of Lisbon, Guy Maddin's most recent film, the television miniseries “A Gentleman in Moscow” and much more!

Original Release Date: Monday 17 March 2025    Description:   Today is not only St. Patrick's Day, it's also Dean Haglund's wedding day! Therefore, this week's installment of YOUR Chillpak Hollywood Hour is an absolute travel adventure. First, Lily Holleman joins Phil at the Hotel Kong Arthur in Copenhagen to share her thoughts about their trip to Venice. Then, we switch locations to a pub in Helsingør near the Kronborg Slot aka Hamlet's Castle and the spot where Dean will be entering into the bonds of matrimony. At the pub, while Dean's bachelor party is getting started, Dean reveals his most recent travel nightmares regales with tales of Turkish Airlines, in-flight movies from Turkey, and robots at the Istanbul Airport. There is a special cameo appearance from a surprise guest, and quite a bit of drinking, plus a lot of fascinating talk about the Copenhagen City Hall, ancient Constantinople and mermaids.

Original Release Date: Monday 20 January 2025    Description:   Your friends in podcasting have a great deal on their minds ... Cold weather in the nation's capital, the hell of home renovations, fire and long-term unhealthful air and the Olympics in Los Angeles ... And they discuss it all on this week's show. They also remember the late David Lynch, suggesting that no artist has ever loved Los Angeles more than he did. They discuss the latest in the Justin Baldoni-Blake Lively (and now Ryan Reynolds!) lawsuits, and this leads to a discussion of the "abuser's playbook". The programming glories of the Detroit Film Theater (at the Detroit Institute of Arts) and the Renzo Piano-designed Academy Museum (at the L.A. County Museum of Art) get celebrated and lead to a discussion about "old school" wide-screen filmmaking, and big screen "pacing", as well as cyber punk and yacht rock! Finally, analysis will be directed onto the Directors Guild and Producers Guild awards nominations and what they portend for this week's Oscar nominations. Oh, yeah, and the show opens with an epic Dean Haglund meltdown!

Original Release Date: Monday 13 January 2025    Description:   If any week warranted an episode of epic length, it was the week that was. With Phil Leirness coming at us from the beaten and battered City of Angels and Dean Haglund coming at us from an air mattress on a hardwood floor not far from the Motor City, this week's show covers a lot of terrain in a little more than 68 minutes. Your friends in podcasting discuss Copenhagen wedding plans and the role that city played in our understanding of quantum physics. They talk about the cold of New York City, the importance of heeding one's intuition and the horrifying, almost unbearably sad events still ongoing in Los Angeles. Fires, bad behavior and the need for us to stop breaking things all get discussed before Dean and Phil finally put the "Hollywood" into Chillpak Hollywood Hour, briefly revisiting last week's "Lawsuit of the Week" (involving It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni and star Blake Lively). They re-visit (and double down on) their praise for Netflix's "A Man on the Inside", Dean sings the praises of both "So Help Me Todd" and "Elsbeth" before the discussion turns to recent big-screen efforts by Guy Ritchie and Clint Eastwood. Finally, in the return of "Celebrity Deaths", Phil quizzes Dean about a former U.S. President, a billionaire businessman, a Shakespearean movie star, the Gold Leader from Star Wars, a Broadway legend turned sitcom star, and a folk music icon, before setting his sights on and saying good riddance to a notorious bigot. Trust us, if you have ever enjoyed our free weekly show that has been "changing the way people listen to the internet" since May of 2007, you won't want to miss this one!

Welcome to Comedians on UFOs: Part 2!We are joined by Tim Barnes, Michael Ian Black, Brian Huskey, Reggie Watts, Andrew Sanford, and Dean Haglund! UFO accounts can sometimes reminds us of a playful world. A humorous world. A species looking for structure and pattern and constantly being bombarded with both chaos and ridiculousness. And that if most definitely UFOs. And it's also comedy. Comedy gives us a communal experience full of confusion and raw emotional release. It makes us feel more human than ever. So when we're faced with something possibly non-human, we can choose to run away from it or fight it. Or, we can embrace it and sometimes, laugh about it. In this series, Ryan digs into the archives of Somewhere in the Skies to bring you a collection of interviews he's conducted throughout the years with comedians. And, as you'll see, a common thread starts to weave its way through these conversations. Why are comedians drawn to UFOs? How can we use it to both accept and possibly even understand UFO phenomenon?Please take a moment to rate and review Somewhere in the Skies on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.Patreon: www.patreon.com/somewhereskiesVenmo: @Ryan-SpraguePayPal: Sprague51@hotmail.comWebsite: www.somewhereintheskies.comYouTube Channel: CLICK HEREBook your Cameo video with Ryan at: https://bit.ly/3kwz3DOOfficial Store: CLICK HEREBuy Somewhere in the Skies coffee: https://bit.ly/3rmXuapOrder Ryan's new book: https://a.co/d/4KNQnM4Order Ryan's older book: https://amzn.to/3PmydYCTik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ryansprague51Twitter: @SomewhereSkiesInstagram: @SomewhereSkiesPodRead Ryan's Articles by CLICKING HEREOpening Theme Song, "Ephemeral Reign" by Per KiilstofteCopyright © 2023 Ryan Sprague.

The Paranormal 60 with Dave Schrader - Scared and Alone in a Preternatural World with Dean Haglund & Lady AnnWe all know what it is like to be Scared & Alone, your heart races, your breath…catches in your chest…your knees feel weak and in that moment your mind begs to make sense of what is happening around you.Tonight, we discuss the new web series Scared & Alone with host Dean Haglund, "Langley" from TVs The X-Files. There is always laughter, fun and frights when we get together, tonight will be no different!Lady Ann joins us to discuss her new book and 2 hair-raising surprise encounters she had with an Alien like creature and a telepathic Sasquatch.

Everyone has a strong negative memory of the first time a movie really freaked them out.  This is an evolutionary mechanism to make it so you avoid bad things in the future.  Apparently horror movies have somehow managed to defeat this mechanism, because people love them.  They love being scared.  Dean is not only scared, but he's Scared & Alone, Saturdays at 8 PM central.  The name is rather ironic, because he is definitely not alone.

Today's Flash Back Friday comes from Episode 61, originally published in November 2011. Jason Hartman interviews director and co-executive producer Phil Leirness, about the incredible journey into conspiracy theories with Dean Haglund to create the documentary, The Truth is Out There. Phil talks about one thing that really resonated with him – on the one hand, there is no such thing as a conspiracy, that it's just business as usual, while on the other hand, everything in the world is a conspiracy. Phil Leirness likes making films about things that make him angry, but how about finding out how these things that make us angry can work for us? Does the word “conspiracy” have to have negative connotations? Thus the idea for the documentary was born. Phil found that the word is most often used to marginalize the people that are trying to tell us something is happening that isn't particularly good for us as a collective. Phil Leirness has always been a storyteller and by the time he graduated high school, he was a published film critic, a stand-up comic, and a television host. It was during that time that he realized he needed to become a filmmaker. He graduated from UCLA Film School and has directed five feature films, “The Party Crashers,” “Spectres,” “Till Do Us Part,” “Story of O,” and “Karl Rove, I Love You.” He has also written/directed almost 40 documentary short subjects examining the making of various feature films. From 2005 through 2008, Phil served as the Managing Director of international film distribution and sales company Cinema Arts Entertainment and its sister company, Artedis S.A. Prior to that, Phil served as the Director of Acquisitions and Development for Shadowland, the feature film division of Pasadena-based GOAL productions he helped found. During this time, Phil oversaw the development of the PBS documentary, The Great Year. In addition to filmmaking, Phil, along with Dean Haglund, co-hosts the weekly podcast show “Chillpak Hollywood Hour” on the Farpoint Media Network. Website: www.PhilLeirness.com
