When a zombie filmmaker makes you laugh so hard you forget you're talking about death and destruction, you know you're in for something special. On today's episode, we welcome Marc V. Price, a fiercely independent British filmmaker whose claim to fame is making a cult zombie feature called Colin for just £45. That alone should make you lean in. But that's just the prologue. This is a man whose journey into the heart of DIY cinema is paved not with glamour, but with grit, late-night edits, and an undying love for storytelling that's as infectiously entertaining as the virus in his debut film.Marc V. Price is a visionary guerrilla filmmaker who turns limited budgets into limitless creativity.In this profound conversation, we dive deep into the chaos, comedy, and consciousness of being an indie director who not only survived the industry's many booby traps, but did so while telling stories worth hearing. His reflections on Colin—a film made while overdrafted and eating whatever he could scrape up—are as humble as they are inspiring. What started as an experiment in shoestring storytelling exploded into a global festival darling, not because it was flashy, but because it was honest. And that's where Marc's strength lies—he doesn't pander, he creates.We drift into an epic conversation on the Star Wars universe. This isn't fanboy babble; it's an existential breakdown of myth, legacy, and the strange, often contradictory reactions that fandom provokes. Marc speaks with wit and clarity about his take on The Last Jedi, “I have a character, I have no idea where Kylo Ren is going in the next film, so I'm really interested now.” There's no arrogance in his opinion, just a deep appreciation for complexity and imperfection, a theme that winds its way through all his art.But Marc isn't just waxing poetic about galaxies far, far away. He shares the alchemy behind his newer projects—Nightshooters and A Fistful of Lead. These aren't just action flicks; they're love letters to the film crews behind the scenes. Imagine a group of low-budget filmmakers caught in a building rigged for demolition while gangsters try to kill them—forced to use their behind-the-camera skills to survive. This isn't satire, it's celebration. It's also the sort of beautiful madness only someone like Marc could conjure.What stands out most is Marc's radical respect for collaboration. He believes the true magic of filmmaking lies in giving young talent real responsibility. On his sets, interns aren't coffee runners—they're script supervisors and first ACs.This communal spirit translates into films that are textured, layered, and brimming with the energy of people who actually care. He's not just making movies; he's building a village.Even in setbacks—like getting fired from a film he poured his soul into—Marc finds the lesson, finds the momentum. Instead of sulking, he pivots. He doubles down. He makes another movie. And another. By the end of the month, he'll have two features under his belt. He's not chasing Hollywood; he's chasing the muse, armed with a battered camera, a mischievous grin, and a hell of a lot of heart.And perhaps most beautifully, Marc wears his humanity like armor. He laughs at himself, calls out his own missteps, and embraces the contradictions of the creative life. From living broke with roommates in London, to pitching ridiculous Star Wars spin-offs, to dreaming of snow-covered Westerns in the UK, he embodies what it means to stay playful—even when things get dark.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/indie-film-hustle-a-filmmaking-podcast--2664729/support.
The ForceCast is BACK!!This week, the regular weekly ForceCast returns after a month of episode recaps. Ryan and Brad discuss their final thoughts on Andor after the series is over. What did they miss in the recaps? How has their opinion changed since the finale?Then, they transition to Rogue One and how this show changed their view of the very first Star Wars Spinoff Film.
🛸 ¡Bienvenidos a Frikingos de la Galaxia! En una galaxia muy, muy lejana... donde los fans peleaban más que los Jedi... donde los foros ardían más que Mustafar... llegó una película que dividió a la Fuerza en dos: The Last Jedi... también conocida como: El episodio que dejó a Luke con cara de 'me quiero ir' y a Yoda lanzando rayos como si a Pikachu le hubiesen echado droja en la bebida. 😜 Hoy, en este Frikingos de la Galaxia especial, nos sumergimos en el agujero negro emocional que fue el troleo maestro de Rian Johnson. ¿Fue arte incomprendido o sabotaje con sable láser? ¿Deconstrucción genial o destrucción gratuita? ¿Una película valiente... o el mayor plot twist desde que Jar Jar sobrevivió a tres películas? En este programa hablaremos detenidamente sobre: 🌀 Luke Skywalker en modo: viejo gruñón que toma leche azul. ☄️ Leia flotando en el espacio a lo Mary Poppins. 🎲 El Casino Planet, también conocido como “perdimos media hora de nuestras vidas”. 🤦 Decisiones absurdas de los personajes. 🎙️ Y como no podía ser de otra manera, el Capi de la Friking Express no estará solo en esta travesía por los restos de la saga. ¡Contará con su tripulación de élite! O… al menos, con los únicos lo bastante valientes (o insensatos) como para volver a ver Los Últimos Jedi sin necesidad de terapia previa. ✨ Joseja, el Bécquer Millennial del Frikiverso, nos recitará una desgarradora oda a Snoke… aunque solo le dio tiempo a escribir la mitad (como al personaje, vaya). Versos que sangran midi-clorianas. 🎮 Desde el rincón gamer del Halcón Frikiano llega el Jugón de la Friking Express, y firme defensor de Jar Jar Binks (sí, aún quedan). Nos contará por qué esta película le hizo abandonar el universo Star Wars más rápido que el Halcón en salto hiperespacial. Spoiler: no volvió hasta que el Mandaloriano le devolvió la fe… y el WiFi. 🧠 Rulo, el Vigilante del Multiverso Freak, se enfunda hoy la toga del abogado del diablo. Viene decidido a defender Los Últimos Jedi con capa, espada y argumentos... aunque reconoce que se le rompió la espada en cuanto vio a Luke tirando el sable. Pero eh, lo intenta, que eso ya es heroico. 🦾 Y aunque no podrá subirse a bordo esta vez, tenemos una grabación exclusiva del legendario Julwiki, el podcaster de adamantium. Su voz, templada por los años y endurecida por el trauma, nos ofrece una reflexión sosegada sobre el filme. ¿Habrá hecho las paces con Rian Johnson? ¿O seguirá gritando su nombre cada vez que se pisa una LEGO del Halcón Milenario? 🎙️ Todo esto y mucho más en el programa donde la Fuerza se ríe contigo. 👉 Dale al play, suscríbete y comenta cuál fue tu trauma o carcajada favorita del Episodio P(ocho). Porque aquí no hay haters… ¡solo frikingos con cicatrices emocionales!

The ForceCast is BACK!This week, Ryan and Brad discuss the series finale and final arc of Andor.The lead-in to Rogue One, Luthen's fate, Cassian's drive, and so much more! Tune in as we say goodbye to this wonderful show!
Phillip and Eric are exploiting the algorithm this week by talking Star Wars while it's still hot, but not the Star Wars anyone expected. They're going over the obscure comic Dark Empire by Tom Veitch and Cam Kennedy, set after Return of the Jedi featuring a resurrected Palpatine when it was still original. They talk about its trippy art and color scheme by Cam Kennedy, its lackluster writing and pacing by comparison, and their shared hatred of The Rise of Skywalker and toxic Star Wars fans who hate The Last Jedi.
Real Life Devon went full medieval this week with a trip to a Renaissance Fair—this one featuring permanent structures that actually looked “authentic” instead of slapped together by ye olde hot glue. There were swinging rides, wooden horses, and some legit jousting. Unfortunately, the real fantasy was thinking the kids would have fun. Big downer energy. Steven is gearing up for an Arizona trip but had to make a sudden detour into Best Buy territory after his TV gave up the ghost. On the plus side, Andor continues to be amazing and makes up for any consumer electronics woes. (It really is still that good.) Ben has seen Labyrinth (have you?), and he's here for the dream logic and David Bowie's entire vibe. Also thrown into the cinematic blender: The Island and Cliffhanger. We're now seeking out more films where geological or man-made features are basically the co-stars. Let us know if you have one. Oh, and Ben also saw the Slate all-electric pickup truck, which looked like something out of Black Mirror. Meanwhile, TVs just… work now? What a time to be alive. Future or Now Time for some spicy Star Wars takes. We got into it over which trilogy was better: the Prequels or the Sequels. Episode IX (The Rise of Skywalker) got roasted—Devon called it "the worst." Ben leaned sequel-side, arguing they're better than the prequels overall. The breakdown went something like: Prequels: bad films, good plots Sequels: good films, bad plots There were also complaints about Starkiller Base, which feels like someone said “What if Death Star, but more?” But then there's Andor, which everyone agrees is just pure excellence. So Star Wars can still be good when they let writers write. Our rankings for maximum judgment: Devon's list: The Phantom Menace, The Force Awakens, Rise of Skywalker, Attack of the Clones, The Last Jedi, Revenge of the Sith Ben's list: Rise of Skywalker, The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith, The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi Your move, Internet.

The Last Jedi was 8 years ago, and the media is still calling Star Wars fans "racists" because of Kelly Marie Tran, John Boyega and The Acolyte (like, all of it.) The media and Lucasfilm are using Kelly Marie Tran and John Boyega as scapegoats to push a false narrative that Star Wars fans are racist, despite the vast majority being unfairly vilified. Hollywood and the media are weaponizing identities and blaming fans for their own stupidity and dumb choices, rather than taking responsibility for failures like those of Lucasfilm and Marvel. The entertainment industry's constant attacks on fans and their personal opinions are tanking movies and shows because people anticipate "one of those things" pushing an agenda. The media and entertainment industry are regressing to the 1950s by constantly shoving identity politics and agendas down people's throats, unfairly labeling Star Wars fans as racist. The industry's need to change characters and stories to reflect actors' personal identities is ruining movies and shows by prioritizing actors' lives over storytelling. Kelly Marie Tran's attempt to tie her new movie to the Star Wars controversy is deemed ridiculous and attention-seeking, as nobody cares about her new project. The entertainment industry's actions are making people mad at each other and hating unfairly when they didn't before, creating unnecessary division among fans. Diversity and inclusion are being used as tools to push agendas and vilify certain groups, symptomatic of a larger problem in Hollywood and the media.

Hey listeners! Jeff here. We're taking a little break so Dan can deal with some personal family matters. We'll be back soon—but in the meantime, we thought you might enjoy a flashback. This month's offering is a replay of our first episode from way back in November 2017. The Last Jedi topped the box office, Wonder by R.J. Palacio was the best-selling book of the year, and “Shape of You” by Ed Sheeran dominated the Billboard Charts. It was a simpler time, listeners. Allow Dan and I to take you to the way-back-when, if only for an hour. It's time. Barter for a rock hammer, pin up your poster of Rita Hayworth, and prepare to inspire hope in your fellow inmates. This is a replay of The Hero's Journey of The Shawshank Redemption. The Hero's Journey℠ Podcast is a fun, insightful look at stories through the lens of Joseph Campbell's world-renowned mythological framework, hosted by writers/BFFs Jeff Garvin and Dan Zarzana.

Hyperspace. Velocity. Infinity. Punch it Chewie! These are the dimensions that power the very heartbeat of Star Wars travel throughout the galaxy and even beyond its limits. From the ancient breakthrough credited to the Rakatans to the perilous routes charted by fearless explorers in the Tales of the Jedi, hyperspace isn't merely a method of travel—it's the lifeblood of adventure and the arena for danger. How did this cosmic pathway come to be, and what secrets lie in its swirling depths? Is it simply a technological marvel, or does it harbor the capacity to transform empires and shatter destinies in a single, breathtaking hyperspeed jump?In our discussion today on Unlock the Knowledge, Today, we dive into the origins and evolution of hyperspace: its creation by the enigmatic Rakatans, the treacherous journeys that forged legends, and the mind-blowing ways it's been weaponized—from hyperspace destruction that kills trillions of lives in the High Republic, From colossal hyperspeed missiles used in the Dark Empire series, and to the chaotic maneuvers that are extremely polarizing to bring up in The Last Jedi. And even some of the most horrifying dimensions that could trap you into an alternate dimension of Hyperspace that you'd never know existed if it wasn't for this podcast. By the end of this discussion, you'll decide: is hyperspace the ultimate tool of progress and peril, or just another carefully crafted myth that shouldn't be completely explained to fuel our love for the science fantasy we call Star Wars. Im ready for the knowledge fam are you? Apprentice and acolytes, its time to ready up and unlock the knowledge...◉ JOIN THE DISCORD: https://discord.gg/Q9sM3NJ52USupport the channel here: https://patreon.com/LordDagovere- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Follow Lord Dagovere ◉ Twitter: https://twitter.com/LordDagovere◉ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lorddagovere ◉ Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/lord_dagovere◉ Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

The first of Marvel's 2025 ongoing series debuts with Star Wars: Legacy of Vader #1, a book detailing how Kylo Ren (aka Ben Solo) grapples with being the First Order's supreme leader while still grappling with the self-loathing and resentment toward just about anyone and everyone.

The ForceCast is BACK!!This week, Ryan and Brad play catchup with all the Star Wars casting news and rumors. Ryan Gosling? Natalie Portman? Is Rey still happening? Plus, where is the Halcyon headed next and more!
The Last Jedi, despite being a massive financial success, has been highly divisive since its release in December 2017. Sure, there are those who love and defend it, especially for its willingness to subvert expectations. Its detractors, though, often cite The Last Jedi's nonsensical plot and less than favorable depiction of beloved Star Wars hero Luke Skywalker for why they hate it. The pod tends to lean toward the latter. For all its exceptional visuals and some genuinely great Star Wars moments, The Last Jedi often feels like a muddled mess—less a sequel to a $2 billion movie, more a piece of odd fan fiction. Hence the divide between fans. As the middle part of a trilogy, The Last Jedi too often throws away or outright dismisses plot threads from The Force Awakens. When there was still a film to follow it, perhaps writing the characters into a narrative corner wasn't the best idea. Now, sit back, feel the Force with a Mind Haze Cosmic Crusher from Firestone Walker Brewing, and find the master codebreaker! The Thunderous Wizard (@WriterTLK), Chumpzilla, and Bling Blake are seeing who can chug the most thala-siren milk! This Week's Segments: Introduction/Plot Breakdown – Let the past die! (0:00) Lingering Questions – When subverting expectations goes wrong... (36:47) The "Jar of Snokes" Trivia Challenge – The Thunderous Wizard challenges the field to trivia about the movie. (1:03:51) Recommendations – We offer our picks for the week and next up: We finish our $1 billion+ follow up flops with a doozy of a dumpster fire, Transformers: The Last Knight!

By feeling more like optional homework than obligatory viewing, The Marvels falls into a familiar trap of the Phase 4 and 5 MCU films. And it fails to up the ante for its main heroine from her first solo outing. There is certainly more to juggle here—adding in both Ms. Marvel and Monica Rambeau—but The Marvels fails to find the right balance. The titular three are charming and have decent chemistry. The villain, however, is one of the most paper thin ever produced by the Marvel movie machine. As for the plot, what little there is, it just feels like a retread of better films. Another issue The Marvels shares with some its more recent MCU counterparts is an abundance of cheap looking effects. For a movie with a budget north of $250 million, it looks more like a hastily produced Disney+ show. None of this should've been enough for it to tank as badly as it did, earning just 20% of the first's gross; but it is indicative of the larger MCU issue: too much, too often, too little quality control. Now, sit back, swap places with a Juiced to Jupiter from Fat Head's Brewery, and warm up those pipes for Aladna! The Thunderous Wizard (@WriterTLK), Chumpzilla, Capt. Cash, and Bling Blake are hijacking the sun! This Week's Segments: Introduction/Plot Breakdown – Higher. Further. Faster. Together!

I liked The Skeleton Crew. I feel it was a light hearted show that many kids would have enjoyed, and something George Lucas would have endorsed. It had some good lessons for the youth in regards to fighting for your family, inner strength, not trusting everyone, and dreaming big. I think a season 2 would be nice. It did not destroy anything like the Acolyte or The Last Jedi, and for that, it at least is a step in the right direction...many more steps to take from here. Learn more about your ad choices.

It's the seventh anniversary of the release of The Last Jedi, and with a little distance from the discourse, the evidence is clear - by box office dollars, ticket sales, DVD sales, critics ratings, and audience surveys, TLJ is one of the most successful Star Wars movies of all time. And that's even when you consider the kind of storytelling corner Rian Johnson was backed into by J.J. Abrams and The Force Awakens. We'll talk about those measures, the movie itself, and the moment it got caught up in that has tainted honest discussion of the movie. We'll also touch on the current United HealthCare situation, the Iraq War, the Howard Stern autobiography, Battlestar Galactica, and more. Punch it! Enjoy the show?

Host Doug Stuart sits down with renowned film critic and author Abby Olcese to explore the intricate intersections of film, faith, and the liturgical calendar. Abby's new book, Film for All Seasons: Experiencing the Church Year at the Movies, forms the crux of this stimulating discussion, inviting listeners to see movies as more than mere entertainment but as avenues for spiritual and cultural introspection.The conversation begins with a delightful nod to the upcoming Paddington 3, encouraging listeners to revisit the first two charming installments. Abby then introduces Joyeux Noel, bringing a poignant cinematic portrayal of the World War I Christmas truce into the fold. This sets the stage for a deeper dive into the themes of Lent, where Abby explains her thoughtful selection of films like "Annihilation" and "Groundhog Day" to navigate through themes of mortality, repentance, and self-awareness.As Doug shares his fascination with liturgical rhythms and their underappreciation in American low church traditions, Abby enriches the dialogue with insights from her church background, reflecting influences from her time as an Episcopal ministry intern. They bond over the transformative power of films such as Guardians of the Galaxy and Fast and Furious 6 in embodying ecclesiastical themes of diversity and unity, particularly resonating with the spirit of Pentecost.Exploring the evolving landscape of film criticism, Abby passionately argues for the importance of historical context in understanding movies. A robust discussion unfolds around how classic films like Top Gun and Night of the Hunter reflect societal attitudes of their times, paralleling her views on the lasting influence of well-crafted narratives.The show takes an intriguing turn as Doug and Abby delve into contemporary television's shift towards streaming, critiquing the impact of immediate performance metrics on long-form storytelling. They appreciate the quality and richness of limited series on platforms like Apple TV, using Blackbird and Bad Monkey as exemplary cases.Abby's narratives come full circle as she illustrates how films can serve as spiritual reflections for themes churches might miss, inspiring hope, love, and inclusivity. This episode is a treasure trove for listeners, whether cinephiles, faith-seekers, or both, offering unique perspectives on how movies like Paddington, The Last Jedi, and The Bishop's Wife can enrich one's spiritual journey.Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com ★ Support this podcast ★
