Drew sits down with Blake Pfeil & Jeremiah Wenutu on Cinema Kingston! to explore his winding path from music production to becoming a sought-after director of photography, podcast studio owner, and host of No Set Path. They unpack the reality of being a multidisciplinary creative, building community in the Hudson Valley, and why storytelling matters more than the tech behind it.Key Topics & Timestamps00:00 – Drew's introduction and impressive client roster (Adobe, Netflix, HBO, Disney+)02:00 – How Upstate Podcast Studio evolved from a basement setup to a professional Kingston space06:00 – The challenge of being spread thin across multiple creative ventures09:00 – Feeling like an outsider in the film industry while pursuing diverse interests14:00 – The frustration with editing other people's work vs. creating your own passion projects16:00 – The Hudson Valley creative community: talent is everywhere, but connection is key19:00 – Two years of HBO production boom post-COVID, then the 2024-2025 slowdown22:00 – Plans for No Set Path: building in-person community events and brand expansion24:00 – From UMass Lowell recording school to New York City music production27:00 – The pivot moment: buying a Canon 7D at B&H and teaching himself cinematography30:00 – Starting No Set Path during COVID as a vehicle for meaningful conversations33:00 – The unexpected impact: random emails from people inspired by the show37:00 – Why Drew asks "how did you get here?" instead of "what camera did you use?"40:00 – The realization: storytelling is the thread connecting everything44:00 – Storytelling as a buzzword in tech startups and why humans gravitate to narrative45:00 – The Goonies, Spielberg, Lucas, and movies that shaped a generation50:00 – Easter eggs, film scores, and the magic of eighties adventure filmsTakeawayBeing multidisciplinary isn't a weakness. It's your unique advantage in a changing creative economy.Community over hustle: the Hudson Valley has incredible talent, but genuine connection matters more than networking.Storytelling transcends medium. Whether it's cinematography, podcasting, or coaching, story is what connects with people.Most successful people don't actually know what they're doing. They're "failing upwards" and figuring it out as they go.Name things well: Upstate Podcast Studio succeeds organically because of smart, searchable naming.Your creative path will look like a lot of different things. Let it evolve naturally instead of forcing a single direction.The tech doesn't matter. People care about the emotion and story, not your gear list.Resources & LinksCinema Kingston!: https://radiokingston.org/en/broadcast/cinema-kingstonDrew's Website: www.drewenglish.comLights and Years Media: www.lightsandyears.comUpstate Podcast Studio: www.upstatepodcaststudio.comNo Set Path Podcast: Search "No Set Path: Creative Entrepreneurship Stories" on your podcast appNo Set Path Newsletter: https://thedrewenglish.substack.com/Drew's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drewenglishh/Drew's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drewenglish/

Thomas and Frank kick off a running series to assemble a living “Hall of Fame” of 100 movies covered on Challenge Accepted. In this first pass, they lock in the opening 20 picks across adventure, animation, sci-fi, horror, and sports drama. Along the way they talk performance standouts, scenes that shaped their taste, and how future rewatches and listener votes could bump titles up or off the board. Timestamps and Topics 00:03:52 Big Fish and why it still wrecks us in different seasons of life 00:05:07 Hook as 90s Goonies energy and a Robin Williams showcase 00:06:49 Tombstone and the definitive Doc Holliday performance 00:08:13 Raiders of the Lost Ark and the problem of recasting Indy 00:12:52 The Prestige and discovering a top tier Nolan on rewatch 00:14:48 Interstellar nomination and why it grew with repeat viewings 00:17:12 The Shining as prestige horror and a genre pivot point 00:18:23 In Time gets discussed but does not make the cut for now 00:20:00 Across the Spider Verse moves in after a better audio experience 00:22:47 Planes, Trains and Automobiles lands as a comedy essential 00:24:43 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) and its surprising emotional weight 00:28:38 Studio Ghibli slot: Spirited Away talk and the case for Kiki's Delivery Service 00:30:24 Dune: Part Two enters as modern epic sci-fi 00:34:38 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and how the evolving list could reshuffle later 00:36:55 The Empire Strikes Back as the Star Wars representative 00:39:11 Jurassic Park and the marriage of practical and digital effects 00:41:02 The Iron Claw and a note on wrestling stories we will cover next 00:42:52 Superman (1978) closes the 20 with an all time origin story 00:48:27 Wrap up, what is coming next, and how listeners can influence the rankings The First 20 (Working List) Big Fish Hook Tombstone Raiders of the Lost Ark The Prestige Interstellar The Shining Spider Man: Across the Spider Verse Planes, Trains and Automobiles Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) Spirited Away or Kiki's Delivery Service (Ghibli slot) Dune: Part Two Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 The Empire Strikes Back Jurassic Park The Iron Claw Superman (1978) Plus a few near misses and future candidates Key Takeaways This is a living list. Titles can move as we review more films and as listeners weigh in. Emotional resonance matters as much as craft, from TMNT's farmhouse sequence to Big Fish's generational pull. Genre representatives help keep variety, like Empire for Star Wars and a Ghibli pick for animation. Craft notes: Jurassic Park's blend of practical and digital still sets the bar, and Vol. 3 sparks a James Gunn redemption chat. Community plan: we will combine Frank's rankings, Thomas's rankings, and a listener ballot to shape the master list. Quotes “The little things are the big things.” “He smashed it, dropped the mic, and went to DC.” “If you see a puddle shake, you're waiting for the T-Rex.” Call to Action Enjoying the Hall of Fame project?

OREGON IS A state with more than its share of buried-treasure legends. But the one that gets the most attention, and until fairly recently attracted by far the most treasure hunters, is the lost Spanish gold of Neahkahnie Mountain. Like most buried-treasure stories, it's a near certainty that nothing is there. But unlike most treasure stories, it seems likely that something real once was. The story of the lost Spanish gold has been passed down and around through Natives and fur traders and later augmented for maximum drama by professional storytellers at Ben Holladay's Seaside House resort. It's even been riffed on (sort of) to create one of the most beloved blockbuster movies of all time — I am, of course, referring to “The Goonies.” Today, there really isn't an official version of the story. But, this is as close as I can come to summarizing the most common version: Sometime in the 1700s, a sailing ship put into Nehalem Bay.... (Nehalem Bay, Tillamook County; 1600s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/2507a1008d-spanish-gold-of-neahkahnie-702.085.html)

Movies like “The Goonies,” “Animal House” and “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” are among the most famous of those filmed in Oregon, and they're points of pride for Oregon film buffs. Television shows like “Grimm” and “Portlandia” and animation studios like Laika and ShadowMachine burnish the state’s production portfolio. While newer projects continue to shoot in Oregon, the industry was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, a lengthy writers and actors strike and an industry-wide shift to overseas production. Tim Williams is the executive director of Oregon Film, a semi-independent state agency that promotes movie and TV production in Oregon. He joins us to talk about how the industry is faring in Oregon.

This week Craig and Alex review The Goonies, and reminisce on their own "kids on bikes" experiences! Next week we're watching Nashville!
If you remember making mixtapes off the radio and your parents' only rule was to be home when the streetlights came on, this episode is for you. Jenn and I are zeroing in on our specific slice of Gen X, a micro-generation we're calling the 'Goonies Generation'. We're the kids born in the late 70s who had one foot in an analog childhood of latchkey independence and another in a fully digital adulthood, making us the ultimate translators between the old and new school. We'll take a fun trip down memory lane talking about MTV, arcade games at Pizza Hut, and the terror of Cold War drills, exploring how these moments shaped us into scrappy, independent, and connection-craving adults. That unique upbringing directly translates to how we operate today, especially as leaders. We'll discuss why our generation values autonomy, despises micromanagement, and leads with empowerment. But we also get real about the pressures we face now—being the overlooked 'sandwich generation' caring for both kids and aging parents, all while navigating our peak earning years. This episode is a call to action for our often-unseen generation to step up, recognize our role as the 'glue' holding things together, and connect with others who get it, because Goonies never say die.

In this episode of The Filmumentaries Podcast, I talk with James Kahn, the novelist behind some of the most iconic movie novelizations of the 1980s, including Return of the Jedi, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, The Goonies, and Poltergeist. James shares how a chance encounter while working as an ER doctor in Santa Monica led him onto the set of ET: The Extra-Terrestrial, where he met Kathleen Kennedy and Steven Spielberg, an opportunity that set his writing career in motion. We discuss:How James went from emergency medicine to Hollywood writerHis early break writing the Poltergeist novelizationThe creative freedom Spielberg gave him on Temple of Doom, The Goonies, and othersWriting Return of the Jedi under intense secrecy — including how George Lucas gave him a decoy script where Luke kills the EmperorInventing backstory details that became “canon” for decades, like Ben and Owen being brothers and hints about Anakin's fall into the lava pitsGiving Short Round his own chapter and exploring Mikey's POV in The GooniesHow his books helped fans relive these films long before home videoWhy a great novelization is about more than retelling a screenplayHis recent memoir, A Jedi Memoir: A Double Life, weaving together stories from Hollywood and emergency medicineIf you grew up with these books, this one's packed with insights, behind-the-scenes stories, and moments of movie history you probably didn't know.

Frank and Squeaks cover Paramount's massive week of moves after the Skydance merger, including a new UFC deal, a bigger theatrical slate, a push for family adventure movies, and fresh Star Trek film plans. They react to Greta Gerwig's Narnia set photos, talk through the young Rambo prequel casting, and share practical steps for Roblox safety that parents can use right now. Reviews land for Alien Earth and King of the Hill. Plus, Frank chats with Alex Austin about building a social platform out of a podcast app and what moderation and growth look like in 2025. Convention plans and network updates round it out.

Family adventure is a priority which fills a gap left by pure superhero focus and could broaden audience reach. Two Star Trek films are on deck, one tied to the Kelvin crew and one new project from Toby Haynes. Narnia starts with The Magician's Nephew, which makes the world feel fresh while connecting to classic imagery. The Rambo prequel raises a bigger question about when to create new action icons instead of reviving old ones. Roblox needs stronger safety guardrails, while parents can act now with private servers, whitelists, spending locks, and no random chats. Alien Earth blends practical effects with slow-burning world-building and earns a nine out of ten from both hosts. King of the Hill nails a modern continuation that honors the original and lands a perfect ten out of ten from Frank. Memorable quotes Squeaks on Paramount. Right now, they are not messing around Frank Family adventure feels like the missing lane, and it is a smart way to reach everyone Frank Alien Earth plays like Fargo in space, and I mean that as a compliment Frank, this new King of the Hill does not feel like a reboot, it feels like the next season Squeaks if you are not doing enough to protect kids other people will try, and that should be a wake-up call Call to action If you enjoy the show tap Follow or Subscribe in your podcast app. Leave a quick rating and review to help more geeks find us.

This week on Shat the Movies, we're taking hostages with Toy Soldiers (1991), where teen rebels face off against terrorists in a prep school under siege. Sean Astin, Wil Wheaton, and Louis Gossett Jr. bring the heat in this action-packed mix of Die Hard, The Goonies, and teenage rebellion. Gene and Big D break down the implausible plot, glorious explosions, and whether this 90s cult classic still makes the grade. Is it a hidden gem, or just juvenile fantasy with pipe bombs? Tune in and find out! Plot Summary:Colombian terrorist Luis Cali (Andrew Divoff) takes an American prep school hostage as a means of gaining his drug lord father's freedom. Privileged yet rebellious students Joey (Wil Wheaton), Billy (Sean Astin), Snuffy (Keith Coogan) and Hank (T.E. Russell) find that they are better equipped to deal with the threat than the mostly ineffectual government agencies sent to rescue them. With resourceful Billy as their leader, the students struggle to defeat the terrorists and save the school. Commissioned by Eric C.
