Every once in a while, a filmmaker comes along whose story redefines what's possible. On today's episode, we meet Gough, the world's first legally blind filmmaker to write, produce, edit, direct, and star in a feature film. Based in Australia, Gough's journey isn't just about overcoming obstacles—it's about rewriting the rules of what it means to create. Through his production company, Beer Nuts Productions, he's built a thriving career in comedy filmmaking, releasing over a dozen films, multiple books, and audio projects, all while turning disbelief into admiration.Gough's career began with rejection. After writing countless screenplays and sending them to production companies, distributors, and investors, he quickly realized that most people couldn't see beyond his disability. “They knew I was blind and dismissed me out of hand,” he recalls. Instead of giving up, Gough did the unthinkable—he decided to make his own films from scratch. His first feature-length project, I Will Not Go Quietly, was a 90-minute documentary on disability and mental health. He shot, edited, and funded the entire film himself, interviewing experts, comedians, and teachers to shed light on how society perceives disability. It wasn't just a film—it was a declaration of independence and proof that storytelling is about vision, not sight.From there, Gough built momentum, producing a string of comedic short films that showcase his wit and unique storytelling style. Each project became a stepping stone for the next. Beer Nuts Productions evolved into a full-fledged creative hub, featuring 14 films, 7 audio downloads, and 5 books. His films—ranging from mockumentaries on the environment and fitness to satirical takes on the entertainment industry—reflect both his humor and sharp social commentary. “I just want to make people laugh and think,” he says. “Entertainment is about making people happy. That's why I do what I do.”Gough's success didn't come without challenges. As an independent creator, he faced the dual battles of production and promotion. While technology made filmmaking more accessible, marketing became the new battlefield. To stand out in a crowded digital landscape, he built a marketing team and launched campaigns across Facebook, Instagram, and traditional media outlets. His approach combines modern outreach with old-school persistence—podcast interviews, press releases, and direct audience engagement. “It's never been easier to make a film,” Gough says, “but it's never been harder to get it seen.”What makes his work even more remarkable is his hands-on directing style. Despite his visual limitations, Gough has developed an intuitive approach to editing and performance. He directs actors by focusing on vocal tone, rhythm, and emotion rather than facial expressions. “I can tell by the sound if the performance is right,” he explains. With a trusted crew who understands his creative process, including his longtime editor Simon, he ensures that every cut, cue, and line lands perfectly. The result? Films that are not only technically solid but emotionally precise and deeply entertaining.Beyond filmmaking, Gough is a storyteller, a humorist, and a living example of creative determination. He believes that ignorance about disability can be cured through education and empathy—and his films do exactly that. Whether he's producing mockumentaries about modern life or stand-up-inspired sketches, his work carries the same message: limitations only exist if you let them.From his first documentary to his recent comedy The Environment: The Real Truth, Gough continues to prove that filmmaking is an act of courage and imagination. His story is not one of pity or perseverance—it's one of power, laughter, and possibility.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bulletproof-screenwriting-podcast--2881148/support.

Notre perception des guerres reste abstraite tant qu'on ne porte pas le regard sur les « outils » avec lesquels elles ont été menées. Pour cette raison, Stéphane Audoin-Rouzeau fait « parler » trois objets parmi les plus évocateurs : un éclat d'obus, une dague de tranchée et une maquette relatant une attaque par les gaz, subie en 1915. Ces « témoins » peu ordinaires restituent la vérité du terrain, alliant les procédés de la guerre industrielle et la survivance des pratiques de combat rapproché. Un modèle qui perdure bien au-delà de la Première Guerre mondiale. Cet ouvrage qui mêle érudition, intelligence et émotion déploie une histoire « autre » du fait guerrier.Stéphane Audoin-Rouzeau est notre invité en partenariat avec le Salon du Livre d'Histoire de Versailles, pour les Interviews HistoireHébergé par Audiomeans.

Mark Cunningham returns for our annual Christmas episode where look back at the events of 2025 (including Mark's review of Cliff's concert at the RAH) and Sam Dunn of Powerhouse Films

This week's episode is a little different—Steven is out sick, so it's just Devon and Ben holding down the fort. The result is a loose, thoughtful conversation that bounces from pop culture overload to philosophy, creativity, and the art of not trying so hard. Real Life  Devon kicks things off with a trip looming on the horizon, bringing equal parts snow, stress, and snowboarding. That spirals nicely into media consumption: thoughts on Switch 2, Mario Maker 2, and catching up on a new Wes Anderson film alongside a Knives Out rewatch. Cozy movies, big style, and just enough distraction to keep the anxiety at bay. Ben's week leans cinematic and slightly exasperated. Avatar: Fire and Ash clocks in at over three hours, which raises some questions about restraint. We also talk about the newly dropped Avengers: Doomsday teaser—officially slated for December 18, 2026—and the ever-growing pile of what Ben dubs AI slop. The hype machine grinds on. Future or Now Ben files this one firmly under Now, bringing in an essay titled "The Appropriate Amount of Effort Is Zero" from Expanding Awareness. You can read it here: https://expandingawareness.org/blog/the-appropriate-amount-of-effort-is-zero/ The conversation clicks immediately, especially when paired with that classic Star Wars line: "The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers." Devon connects this idea directly to music—specifically guitar playing—and how tension kills creativity. No clenched jaw. No face squinching. Relaxed hands, relaxed mind. Ben takes it further, pulling in some Eastern philosophy and the idea that over-effort can actively work against you. Trying less, it turns out, might actually get you more. Book Club  No discussion this week, but we tee up next episode's reading: "The Janitor in Space" by Amber Sparks. If you want to read along, the story is available here: https://americanshortfiction.org/janitor-space/ It's short, strange, and very much in our wheelhouse—perfect fuel for next week's conversation. Steven will be back soon, Devon will (hopefully) survive the snow, and Ben will continue his quest to consume culture without being crushed by it. Until then: loosen your grip.

Every now and again, the horror genre produces a film that becomes a bona fide classic. In 1980, director William Lustig and co-writer and star Joe Spinell teamed up to make what may be the defining film of the 42nd Street grindhouse era: Maniac. The film has it all, a serial-killing protagonist who scalps women while sobbing about his mother, buckets of gore from an early-career Tom Savini, and all the usual suspects of late-'70s Times Square: hookers, drugs, and utter despair. A remake, directed by Franck Khalfoun, written by Alexandre Aja, and starring Elijah Wood, arrived in 2012. This time, the action shifts to Los Angeles and leans more heavily into the mannequins that served as surrogate girlfriends in the original. Does it rise to the occasion and meet its predecessor on its own terms? We dig into that question, and much more, on this Twice Told Tales edition of the show. Films mentioned in this episode: The Avengers (2012), Basket Case (1982), Cannibal Holocaust (1980), Dawn of the Dead (2004), The Fly (1986), Friday the 13th (1980), The Godfather (1972), Halloween (1978), High Tension (2003), Inferno (1980), Jaws (1975), Last Horror Film (1982), Last House on the Left (1972), Maniac (1980), Maniac (2012), Pieces (1982), Taxi Driver (1976), Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), The Thing (1982), The Warriors (1979)

This week on the podcast the Bros are back to finish off the Christmas holiday with the family, kicking things off with their weekly weekend recap. That includes Terrance hosting a close friend and serving some very underwhelming wings, and Terrell unfortunately spending money on his car this holiday season, which he is not happy about at all. The Bros decided to wear matching quarter zips for this episode, so visual podcast watchers will definitely have a moment with this one. Think of it as the only gift the Bros could give you outside of the podcast itself. Of course the episode still launches with WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE, now paired perfectly with the matching sweaters. The conversation moves into the Bros talking about how excited they are to expand their Patreon content, specifically reacting to movies and television. They believe people will really enjoy watching content with them, not just listening. Next, the Bros dive into Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua, the Netflix event that took over the weekend and opened a larger conversation about the next level of entertainment and what creators are willing to do to reach it. And of course, they talk about Jake's broken jaw. From there, the Bros speak on Netflix bringing podcasts to its platform after recently striking a deal with iHeartMedia. They get into whether this move signals a real expansion of the podcast wave or if Netflix is simply taking advantage of the current moment. Only time will tell. The conversation then shifts to Nicki Minaj's recent appearance and how she's perceived completely differently now, even though there may have been writing on the wall. That leads into a discussion about being a woman's first nice guy and why that role is not for the weak. Terrance also makes a hot take on women rappers being able to sustain relationships while maintaining their rap image. And of course, the most talked about topic on the timeline this past week, 21 Savage's tweets starting a “fuck the streets” movement. The Bros debate authenticity and intention. Is this really about the streets, or is it just petty hip hop beef? What are the intentions and what's next? The Bros don't have all the details, but they don't hold back. “We poddin',” Terrance says. Lastly, the Bros talk about the death of the modern comedy film and how it's shifted into a more superhero and satirical lane that focuses on politics and safe jokes rather than freely trying to get laughs. Terrell brings up Dave Chappelle's new stand up as a perfect example of the old way of comedy that doesn't seem to fit in the film world today, maybe for good reason. Another week with the Bros. Merry f'n Christmas and happy holidays.

Maître incontesté du néoclassicisme, Jacques-Louis David (1748-1825) continue deux siècles après sa mort d'impressionner les visiteurs du Louvre par ses toiles magistrales, en particulier l'Enlèvement des Sabines et Léonidas aux Thermopyles. D'abord disciple du peintre de cour François Boucher, il refuse très tôt de servir une académie qu'il juge empesée, pour s'engager dans des compositions radicales. Républicain intransigeant, il esquisse le Serment du Jeu de Paume et prononce des discours enflammés à la tribune. Après avoir été élu président à la Convention au début de l'année 1794, il parvient à échapper à l'échafaud en Thermidor et se voit enfermé à deux reprises. Sa rencontre avec Bonaparte au cours de la campagne d'Italie l'engage à servir le nouvel homme fort, pour lequel il réalise ses plus grands chefs-d'oeuvre - Passage du Grand Saint-Bernard, Sacre de Napoléon, Distribution des Aigles -, accompagnés d'une importante série de portraits officiels. Contemporain d'Olympe de Gouges ou du chimiste Berthollet, aîné de vingt et un ans de Napoléon, David aura marqué le tournant du siècle. La fin de sa vie, en exil à Bruxelles, n'aura pas altéré son prestige auprès d'une génération de disciples qui prolongeront son enseignement avec conviction.David Chanteranne est notre invité en studio pour les Interviews HistoireHébergé par Audiomeans.

Diplomate en poste à plusieurs reprises en Russie et en Chine, Sylvie Bermann retrace la longue histoire de ces deux pays. Elle nous éclaire sur ces deux géants dont le pacte stratégique est en train de dessiner l'avenir du monde.Après des siècles de relations en dents de scie, caractérisées par l'obsession du commerce pour Saint-Pétersbourg et la préservation de leurs frontières pour la Chine impériale, leurs liens s'étoffèrent à l'accession au pouvoir de Catherine II. Dans une volonté de modernisation et d'expansion, la Russie s'empare au XIXe siècle de territoires mandchous. La prise de pouvoir du Parti communiste chinois en 1949 scelle l'alliance sino-soviétique dans un rapport toutefois inégal.Grands gagnants de la mondialisation et hantés par l'effondrement de l'URSS, les Chinois ne cachent pas leur dédain pour le « grand frère » qui n'a pas su construire de puissance économique, trop dépendant de ses hydrocarbures. Malgré ce renversement des rapports de force, la croisade contre les valeurs occidentales de Pékin et Moscou, sur fond de rivalité sino-américaine, façonne désormais leur vision du monde et influe sur le Sud global.À la croisée de l'Histoire et de la géopolitique, Sylvie Bermann analyse la stratégie des deux Empires dont le sort semble déclarée « sans limites » est surveillée par un Donald Trump décidé à s'inviter avec fracas dans cette nouvelle donne.Sylvie Bermann est notre invitée en partenariat avec le Salon du Livre d'Histoire de Versailles, pour les Interviews HistoireHébergé par Audiomeans.

David talks to playwright and screenwriter Lee Hall (Billy Elliot, Rocketman) about how a great film can be made out of a single conversation. Who was the real Andre? How scripted was the dialogue? Who won the argument? And why has this film had such an extraordinary afterlife?

The thing about machines is that we expect them to keep chugging on – to never break or falter. In the late 1990s, a mixed martial artist named Mark Kerr found himself struggling to shoulder the weight of that expectation. Mark was a winner – a muscular behemoth beloved by fans of a rising new fighting league, called Ultimate Fighting Championship, or UFC for short. His fans across the world knew little of his agonising behind-the-scenes struggle to keep up that facade, to keep entering the ring week after week, to keep The Smashing Machine as he was nicknamed chugging along – never breaking, never faltering. Addicted to powerful painkillers, the pressure to win was killing him.Which is why The Smashing Machine, the recent biopic about Kerr, from my guest today, writer-director Benny Safdie, is a sports movie unlike most others. Think of a sports movie you love. Break it down at its core and I bet you, it's a tale about someone learning to win, right? Starring Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt, The Smashing Machine is about someone learning to lose. The liberation that comes with it. The power of realising that we're not our accomplishments. What defines us is our actions out of the wrestling ring – whatever your version of that ring may be. On today's episode, Benny tells me about the quote, “radical empathy” that guided this story – and how it was also perhaps present in his work up till now. Films and TV shows like the hugely acclaimed Good Time and Uncut Gems, both created with his brother Josh – and The Curse, created with Nathan Fielder. We get into all the key beats and scenes from The Smashing Machine in our usual spoiler-filled detail – including that mesmerising ending in which Dwayne Johnson seems to unburden himself of the expectation that he can never falter, not just within his performance of Mark Kerr, but also kind of as himself, this megawatt blockbuster star whose recent career took an interesting path to this story, filling it with metatextual meaning.

This episode was inspired by a dinner party bust-up. What began as a casual conversation about favourite filmmakers turned into a spirited argument over one uncomfortable truth: even the greatest directors have made at least one genuinely bad film.In this episode, I take that argument to its logical conclusion. I examine ten widely respected directors—filmmakers whose best work has defined genres, influenced generations, and earned critical acclaim—and we focus exclusively on their weakest outings. Feel free to disagree, and no JJ Abrahams is not in the list because ALL his films are crap.

Streaming Picks Quick takes on what's worth checking out when you're short on time but craving something new. Left-Handed Girl A haunting, understated movie about isolation and subtle power shifts. Quiet but potent. Bad Shabbos A funny, chaotic, culturally specific film that mines family tension for full cringe and full laughs.

Watch it here: Marty Supreme Directed by Josh Safdie, this highly stylized table tennis drama stars Timothée Chalamet as a rising sports star in 1950s New York. Between its dazzling craft and period detail, it raises great conversation about competition, image, and identity. The Testament of Ann Lee This meditative documentary explores the history and philosophy of Ann Lee, the founder of the Shakers. With a calm pace and introspective tone, the film looks at belief systems, community, and control.
