Welcome to the Things That Shape Us podcast. My name is Jonathan Wymer and I'm joined by James Gary to discuss a various range of subjects that are all related to one idea: How those things shape our lives.In this episode, James and I discuss ONE THING that shaped our lives.  Minecraft was marketed (and still is) as a kid's game, one with simplistic puzzles based in a world made out of blocks. But beyond commercial marketing, the game has been accepted into the gaming community as a strong contender for therapeutic means. A soothing environment with basic tasks that reenact primal human behavior for survival, exploration, and storytelling. One would think there couldn't be a deep dive conversation on such a game, but the sandbox style and intricate design with manageable gameplay creates an astounding universal theme for anyone who ventures into its realm.ANNOUNCEMENT IN EPISODE:Attention Scan, a science fiction novel by Jonathan Wymer & Joshua Messarge isON AMAZON AT A NEW PRICE! - $12.99 - Paperback -  Order your copy today!(Advertisement Music provided by Cody Glodfelter.

If darkness is simply the absence of light, why is it that dark moments in life and in stories draw us close? James and I go philosophical again to delve deep into the understanding of darkness and its role in creating a catharsis in our personal lives as well as in our professional endeavors. A lightbulb turning on represents and idea being found, but the darkness is where the dreaming begins and the imagination takes over to spur us toward that idea.ANNOUNCEMENT IN EPISODE:Attention Scan, a science fiction novel by Jonathan Wymer & Joshua Messarge isON AMAZON AT A NEW PRICE! - $12.99 - Paperback -  Order your copy today!(Advertisement Music provided by Cody Glodfelter.

Last year, in July, we were in the heart of the Pandemic, and a lot of introspection was taking place alongside enormous chaos as the interpersonal human connection was severed. This created an empty space for art to take form. But how, in a world where the digital connection and parasocial relationships dominate, do artists make a living? James and I discuss the exchange between audience and creators, while opening up the conversation to better understand paths of artistic careers.ANNOUNCEMENT IN EPISODE:Attention Scan, a science fiction novel by Jonathan Wymer & Joshua Messarge isON AMAZON AT A NEW PRICE! - $12.99 - Paperback -  Order your copy today!(Advertisement Music provided by Cody Glodfelter.

Welcome to the Things That Shape Us podcast. My name is Jonathan Wymer and I'm joined by James Gary to discuss a various range of subjects that are all related to one idea: How those things shape our lives.In this episode, James and I discuss ONE THING that shaped our lives. Objective and subjective reality, a topic that we touch on only lightly, is something that is constantly being discussed as videogaming, streaming, and multimedia platforms begin to rise and capture our attention. But how can one's perception of their own reality shape the way they view the world around them? Without humans, what is reality? The conversation gets real.ANNOUNCEMENT IN EPISODE:Attention Scan, a science fiction novel by Jonathan Wymer & Joshua Messarge isON AMAZON AT A NEW PRICE! - $12.99 - Paperback -  Order your copy today!(Advertisement Music provided by Cody Glodfelter.

Welcome to the Things That Shape Us podcast. My name is Jonathan Wymer and I'm joined by James Gary to discuss a various range of subjects that are all related to one idea: How those things shape our lives.In this episode, James and I discuss ONE THING that shaped our lives with our longtime friend and collaborator, Joshua Messarge. During the Pandemic, James stumbled upon and shared with us a creative genius in the realm of animated storytelling: U M A M I. He is a content creator, animator, and musician on YouTube that has made some of the most compelling animated episodes on the internet. His animated series, INTERFACE, is strikingly detailed in its narrative, cinematic in its imagery, and fascinating in its atmosphere.We discuss INTERFACE  here on our podcast in a three-part series that will reach a conclusion after its final episode release. Part 2 covers episodes 13 through 23.This episode is a lot more relaxed, but we delve deep into the philosophical perspectives of the series and attempt to guess how Episode 24 will wrap up the series!

Smells are all around us. In the air outside, in our homes, and in our memories. Certain smells trigger memories and provoke thoughts or feelings that we wouldn't otherwise have given attention to if it wasn't for the smell that sparked it. James and I take a deep dive down memory lane about how certain smells have affected permanent memories, and we also may get a tad silly when it comes to our top favorite and top worst smells that we've encountered in our lives. It's about to get smelly.ANNOUNCEMENT IN EPISODE:Attention Scan, a science fiction novel by Jonathan Wymer & Joshua Messarge isON AMAZON AT A NEW PRICE! - $12.99 - Paperback -  Order your copy today!(Advertisement Music provided by Cody Glodfelter.

Still Photography has influenced and inspired us both, and we're here to talk about how and why. We cover different formats such as 35mm Photography, iPhone pics, selfies (very little of this), and the types of photography that directly affected us on an emotional level. James specifically talks about why still photography is a meaningful motivator and can lead to a temporary cure for depression. It gets you out of the house, helps you focus on the world around you, whether with a wide angle or a closer look on a long lens.

Welcome to the Things That Shape Us podcast. My name is Jonathan Wymer and I'm joined by James Gary to discuss a various range of subjects that are all related to one idea: How those things shape our lives.In this episode, James and I discuss ONE THING that shaped our lives. Hotels / Motels are considered rather bland places, that's why I'm eating chips while we discuss this particular topic. But James and I consider the underrated adventures that have occurred during our stay at hotels both here in America and abroad. The odd kitschy-ness that seems to always take over each room we rent while working on a film or going on vacation. From the little bottles of shampoo, to the limited number of channels on the television, and everything in between the crusty sheets. Get your black light out and prepare for an investigation of Hotel Americana.ANNOUNCEMENT IN EPISODE:Attention Scan, a science fiction novel by Jonathan Wymer & Joshua Messarge isON AMAZON AT A NEW PRICE! - $12.99 - Paperback -  Order your copy today!(Advertisement Music provided by Cody Glodfelter.

The next generation of gaming consoles is at hand and there's a lot to discuss concerning the future of the video game industry. With more companies pushing toward online (Cloud) storage versus hard-disk drives with video game discs, there's a strange disconnect for a generation growing up in an almost all-digital world. A lot of us older gamers are used to a more analog style of interaction with gaming consoles and the games we buy for them. But, there is a change in the wind concerning the storytelling that's taking place in new releases for these consoles and it's very exciting. Join us as we delve in the future of console gaming!ANNOUNCEMENT IN EPISODE:Attention Scan, a science fiction novel by Jonathan Wymer & Joshua Messarge isON AMAZON AT A NEW PRICE! - $12.99 - Paperback -  Order your copy today!(Advertisement Music provided by Cody Glodfelter.

The post-pandemic epoch has the potential to spur on a renaissance of art, social niceties, and creativity. And we're hopeful. We catch up at the start of warm weather and a two-week hiatus from our last couple of recordings, finding ourselves caught in the conversational zeitgeist. Every stroke on the keyboard, every discussion in the room with our cellphones, all adds to a potential curation of social and cultural phenomenon, which every human on the planet is possibly a part of.

We talk our filmmaking processes, writing, favorite movies & TV shows. We swap stories of the film school days, living in Georgia, and our hopes for a more productive future in the world of cinema and beyond.

People work really hard, and they're in pursuit of happiness. But at what point will they become satisfied and see the fruits of their labor? To us, it's about perspective and a little thing call "Delayed Gratification". It's a concept that not many follow, but has returned as a social trend since the past 20 years has allowed us to reach an insane peak of advanced technology and created a sense of urgency in our careers and life choices. Slowing it down, focusing on one thing at a time, and taking in that simplicity are parts of the formula. But ultimately it comes down to setting a goal in one particular aspect of your life and allowing time to mature that part of you.

James and I delve deep into the REM sleep of this topic as we discuss it's effects on our health and how we still try and be productive and focused on very little of it. There are bedtime stories (some that actually keep us up at night) and ways of incorporating white noise to drown out our overactive minds, and then there's additives or supplements that help us achieve the healthy amount of sleep.

For Jonathan, the ritual of renting a movie on a Friday night was an awe-inspiring family event that greatly shaped his career path when he got older.

A New Year is almost upon us, and James and I have decided to talk about New Years resolutions and the fear of commitment and focus on these resolutions. 2020 was beyond the norm, and absolutely a year that shaped all of our lives. There's much to discuss and recall when planning for another 12 months. We experienced an Election, a Pandemic, and the Tiger King. We think we need a break from taking in the chaos of the world and rather we should look inward and beyond. Turn off your phone, the TV, the tablet, and your Apple Watch. It's time to get introspective. Introspection is the key for how we tackle the residue of a crazy year like 2020, and James and I both want people to plan on being surprised in the New Year and optimistic for good things.EMAIL US with questions, comments, or weird stories at JonesportStories@gmail.comANNOUNCEMENTS IN EPISODE:Attention Scan, a science fiction novel by Jonathan Wymer & Joshua Messarge is AVAILABLE ON AMAZON ($14.99 - Paperback) Order your copy today!https://www.amazon.com/Attention-Scan-Jonathan-Wymer/dp/0578774429/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=attention+scan&qid=1604464077&sr=8-1Original Jingle & Logo by Lisa Wymer.Produced & Edited by Jonathan Wymer.Mixed and Designed by James Gary.

Welcome to the Things That Shape Us podcast. My name is Jonathan Wymer and I'm joined by James Gary to discuss a various range of subjects that are all related to one idea: How those things shape our lives.In this episode, James and I discuss ONE THING that shaped our lives. Some things in life are simply overrated. There are social "obligations" or what people deem "necessary"; there are items that we believe we need to have, and there are events that we feel the need to take part in. Hopefully we don't go full Sheldon Cooper in this episode, but there's a lot that we discuss in terms of what is overrated, or even underrated in life. We circle through materialism as being a key component of human life that can sometimes elevate a form of emptiness that leads the individual to labeling something "overrated". There's plenty that's overrated in this episode.EMAIL US with questions, comments, or weird stories at JonesportStories@gmail.comANNOUNCEMENTS IN EPISODE:Attention Scan, a science fiction novel by Jonathan Wymer & Joshua Messarge is AVAILABLE ON AMAZON ($14.99 - Paperback) Order your copy today!https://www.amazon.com/Attention-Scan-Jonathan-Wymer/dp/0578774429/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=attention+scan&qid=1604464077&sr=8-1Original Jingle & Logo by Lisa Wymer.Produced & Edited by Jonathan Wymer.Mixed and Designed by James Gary.

There's something all around us, and it's effecting us in ways we usually don't think about. It's ATMOSPHERE. It's the lighting in a room, it's the sounds from a babbling brook in the forest, it's the music coming from the outdoor cafe. Every element of atmosphere causes a reaction (for good, or for evil). These reactions create a streamline perspective on particular places, things, and groups of people.

The Election is over (sort of), so we're looking onward and upward to discover something outside of ourselves, outside of our town, and outside of our planet. James takes the wheel and shoots us up and out of Earth's atmosphere to talk about Rogue Planets. This research of his has us both delve deep into understanding physics, UFOs, and intelligent life beyond our own planet. It's a heavy topic, and we're not physicists by any means, but we love talking about outer space, other galaxies, and the controversy and conspiracy theories surrounding this topic.

Whether on Instagram or in the auditorium at a movie theatre, we're all learning to empathize with others on screens. The ability to feel and understand someone else's pain, joy, confusion or enlightenment, is an incredible ability that we all possess. But are there limits to this? Or constraints? James and I share a few anecdotes of how we've been impacted by stories (whether fictional or in real life) that have shaped the way we feel empathy for those around us. We trail a bit in the direction of understanding the effects of screen-time, but inevitably circle back to realize that we're always empathizing with others, in person or virtually.ANNOUNCEMENTS IN EPISODE:Attention Scan, a science fiction novel by Jonathan Wymer & Joshua Messarge is AVAILABLE ON AMAZON ($14.99 - Paperback) Order your copy today!https://www.amazon.com/Attention-Scan-Jonathan-Wymer/dp/0578774429/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=attention+scan&qid=1604464077&sr=8-1Original Jingle & Logo by Lisa Wymer.Produced & Edited by Jonathan Wymer.Mixed and Designed by James Gary.

It all started with a novel, Nightfall (1990) by Isaac Asimov. But before it started, it BEGAN with the short story in 1941. In this episode, James, Josh, and I discuss the original short story at length and share our own unique perspectives on the characters, plot, and ideas within.

The "Faith-Based" market is a tricky one, especially when it comes to its perspective and rules on what is considered art within that market. James, Kris and I go on a deep-dive when it comes to inputting our various beliefs and faiths into the things we create. There are so many gray areas when it comes to the visual medium of Cinema in relation to faith and religion. And we tackle a few of those ideals that you find within the industry that may naturally seem combative at first, but at the heart it's simply people trying their best to get their story told. We also discuss the quality of these faith-based products, rather than the focus on story and themes that are more functional for the format of television and motion pictures outside of this niche market. The conversation is very personal, open, and we don't intend to impose any particular belief on those of you who are listening!Original Jingle & Logo by Lisa Wymer.Produced & Edited by Jonathan Wymer.Mixed and Designed by James Gary.

Dreams are super important, both as children and as adults. What we started noticing is how the dreams we had as kids, shaped our lives in deciding what our goals were going to be. And the two combined make for a motivated individual beyond a doubt. Sometimes people try and place prophecy on your life (Jame's example) or you're inspired by other forms of art that make you an obsessive person bent on becoming good at that one thing (Jonathan's example). Either way, we usually end up on the path of fulfilling the dreams and goals for our individual lives. There's a good conversation ahead, filled with energy and discovery in what keeps our dreams alive! And a few rabbit trails that we always tend to take to better support the subject of discussion.

The dark times are some of the most important times in our lives. They truly shape us, for better or for worse. And yet, there's so much to learn from them. If you or someone you know is going through a dark period in their life, we're hoping to give some guidance here, and maybe a little bit of comfort. We're not experts on the dark times, but we've definitely had our fair share of hardships, that we could at least relate! There's so many tips and tricks to learn when going through what may be considered: a dark time, in your life. James and I talk about how habits and routines can form during these periods of darkness. And our perspective may be a little odd, unconventional, or weird. But we've definitely experienced plenty of dark clouds trying to rain our parade.

For better or for worse, alcohol has shaped our lives in one way or another. James and I share a few anecdotes involving the sauce, the booze, the FIREWATER! Some of them are funny, some of them were interesting wake-up calls telling us that the spirits wanted us to find other ways of enjoying ourselves. No matter what way we looked at it, we still found that alcohol has had a profound affect on our lives individually and even for a few shared experiences. We don't condone the consumption of alcohol, nor do we reject those of us who consume.

My name is Jonathan Wymer and I'm joined by James Gary to discuss a various range of subjects that are all related to one idea: How those things shape our lives.In this episode, James and I discuss ONE THING that shaped our lives. Boredom seems to have a negative connotation in today's society. Maybe this is a sign of the times in which technology has pretty much given a surrogate to originality and focused creativity. Maybe it's due in part of a misjudged conspiracy from baby-boomers to their children. Or maybe people are simply anxious and afraid of time alone and without the constant simulation. Who knows for sure. But one thing is for sure, boredom can lead to great things, because you're giving your mind, body, and spirit a chance to take a break and use the ole imagination. James and I go deep in this energetic conversation about the state of being bored and why it can lead to great things, and we really shouldn't be scared of being bored in the slightest.ANNOUNCEMENTS INCLUDED IN EPISODE:Now that COVID seems to be shifting gears, we're hoping to have a public screening for those interested to come watch James Gary's, The Knocker short film.

It's a late-night recording session for us old salts, so we start off with tackling the broad subject of social media and the effects of the internet on our relationships and daily lives, including how we perceive our own reality. Then, I tie the first part of our conversation to a book that greatly inspired and encouraged me through the years: The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman.

Caleb is the animator and creator of CandyClub, a YouTube channel known for great animated skits and live-action videos of obscurity and comedy. Caleb and the gang from Jonesport Pictures put together an animated TV pilot entitled "Blizzard Beak" that you can find on his channel. In this conversation, Caleb digs into his past and talks about Adult Swim and how that specific branding of comedy and animation stuck with him over the years in creating his own style. That inspiration led not only to his animated shorts but also to his first short film, entitled "Human Garbage", and he continues to work independently and creatively in that realm..Original Jingle & Logo by Lisa Wymer.Produced by Jonathan Wymer.Mixed, edited, and designed by James Gary.

Sean opens the conversation with the subject of comedy and his perspective on what he finds funny. His love for situational comedy leads us down a path discussing some of our favorite comedic moments from our favorite films. We also discuss how comedy can be found in some of the darkest or grittiest parts of a movie that a general audience would find uncomfortable. We even talk about contemporary meme culture and the comedy that exists there. Sean's background in film includes attending the same film school as James and I, and he's found his niche in editing narrative film. This takes us into a segue of comedic timing with cutting scenes and that can be effective on an emotional level for setting up a horrific moment.Original Jingle & Logo by Lisa Wymer.Produced & Edited by Jonathan Wymer.Mixed and Designed by James Gary.

For Kristofer, living in Finland and Switzerland for the first seven years of his life has shaped his perspective of culture and ways of living in many ways. He delves deep into his love for film and his perspective on classic cinema in relation to how a lot of Americans in our film school were not aware of those films that he grew up on. His acceptance and understanding of the American public school system even took time to curate with a little bit of culture shock at play. We talk about how social interactions and customs can vary country to country, and specifically in a country like the United States that is a melting pot for multiple races, cultures, and subcultures. This was a great conversation!Original Jingle & Logo by Lisa Wymer.Produced & Edited by Jonathan Wymer.Mixed and Designed by James Gary.

James and I indirectly empathize with Yul's conundrum and it's a common one these days. Racism is a difficult topic, and we keep our organic conversation to a level of personal attention rather than shifting into politics. And it all ends with love and the relationship with share with each other.Original Jingle & Logo by Lisa Wymer.Produced & Edited by Jonathan Wymer.Mixed and Designed by James Gary.

The conversation covers everything animation. All the way from the techniques used in 2D drawing and its relation to light, to even shedding light on the penis police of Disney animated projects. We keep to our usual format, but fuel the conversation with Josh's personal attachment to animated stories.Original Jingle & Logo by Lisa Wymer.Produced & Edited by Jonathan Wymer.Mixed and Designed by James Gary.
