The second half of Soderbergh's unbelievable year 2000 was TRAFFIC, his sprawling adaptation of the 1989 Channel 4 miniseries about the many sides of the drug trade. At the time, it was hailed as a highly nuanced and humane look at narcotics. But how does it look from 2025? Joining us to discuss is professor and author of our much-cited Quick Fixes: Drugs in America from Prohibition to the 21st Century Binge, Benjamin Y. Fong! We talk macroeconomics, "Mexico filter," drug movies, Benicio Del Toro's accent, and a whole lot more. Really fascinating episode, we hope you enjoy!

Welcome back to I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman, where creativity meets real life, and hustle gets a human face. In this milestone 40th episode, host Luis Guzman reconnects with a returning guest who's not just part of the IAANAS origin story—he's been riding shotgun since the mustard-seed days of the show: John Ramsay, co-founder of Paramount Gym in Matawan, New Jersey.This ain't your typical “gym bro” conversation. It's not a protein-shake-infused monologue about deadlifts and macros. It's raw, real, and refreshingly vulnerable. John opens up about what's changed since his first time on the show three years ago—personally, professionally, and spiritually. From overcoming addiction and staying clean for over two decades, to obsessively growing the Paramount brand into a community-first fitness hub, John brings every shade of the journey to the mic.He and Luis talk about the messy, beautiful dance of self-awareness, what it means to lead with both creativity and imperfection, and why being disciplined doesn't mean having every aspect of your life on lock. They dive into the truth behind partnerships—John's with his business partner Justin, who balances John's creative chaos with grounded leadership—and how staying in your lane and trusting your team might be the most underrated business strategy there is.Throughout the episode, you'll hear John's unfiltered reflections on:How obsession (the healthy kind... mostly) fuels creative outputWhy selfishness is part of the human condition—and how to fight itThe trap of chasing comfort vs. building disciplineThe power of community—inside and outside the gymWhat real mentorship looks like (hint: it's not sugarcoated)The myth of overnight success in business and personal growthWhy Paramount Gym is much more than squat racks and Instagram reelsAnd how grief—the recent loss of his dog, Marlo—sparked deeper gratitude and clarityOh, and yes—they get into the fun stuff too: favorite pancakes, gym pet peeves, back problems, merch design, and why creatives are basically just over-caffeinated ping pong balls with a dream.This episode isn't just a check-in—it's a masterclass on showing up for your passion, your people, and yourself... even when it's hard, especially when it's hard.If you've ever felt like you're doing everything you can but still not doing enough, this one's for you. If you've ever wondered how to build something from scratch, keep it alive, and still sleep at night (or try to), this one's for you. And if you just want to hear two dudes keep it all the way honest about life, business, addiction, purpose, and pancakes—yeah, this one's definitely for you.Stream it, share it, save it, and send it to that friend who's trying to figure it all out.Because we all are.

In this episode of I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman, Luis Guzman sits down with viral content creator, actor, and fashion-forward media personality Dave Disci. What starts as a discussion about digital content quickly turns into an honest, deep-dive conversation about trauma, identity, burnout, creativity, and purpose.Dave shares his powerful origin story—growing up in poverty in New York City as the child of immigrants from Hong Kong. He discusses:Periods of homelessness and instabilityA difficult and abusive relationship with his fatherCreating the “Dave Disci” persona as a personal survival tool and artistic identityThroughout the episode, Dave opens up about the emotional weight of being a creator. From long hours juggling a corporate job while editing videos late into the night, to finally taking the leap into full-time content creation—only to make just $500 in his first month—Dave walks us through the highs and lows of betting on yourself.But the conversation doesn't stop at success and hustle. Luis and Dave dig into:The hidden toll of imposter syndromeThe real-life challenges of therapy and healing childhood traumaComing out, and the painful fallout with familyFinding safety and identity through content, fashion, and communityTheir mutual experiences growing up in emotionally volatile households create one of the most vulnerable moments in the series.

Whether you're grinding on YouTube, struggling to stay consistent with your art, or just dealing with family stuff while trying to keep your peace—this conversation is for you.

In 1999, Steven Soderbergh pushed his formal experimentation even further, rendering a straightforward revenge tale into a modernist masterpiece. In the process, the Terence Stamp/Peter Fonda joint THE LIMEY examines memory, the legacy of the 60s, and inaugurates Sodie's obsession with Cockney rhyming slang. Film writer and podcaster and UK resident Elena Lazic joins us to get limey! Good ep!

In this episode of I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman, Luis Guzman sits down with creative strategist and marketing rebel Ankur Garg, the CEO of Youngry and founder of Flex Work Studios, for one of the most brutally honest conversations we've had on this show. If you're expecting a polished tale of success, this ain't it. This is a real one—messy, inspiring, and filled with the kind of truth most people are too afraid to say out loud.Ankur walks us through his “Z to A” philosophy—a method where he helps people visualize their end goal first and then reverse engineer the steps to get there. But he's quick to say most people don't actually want to do the work. They want the shortcut. They want the result without the process. He doesn't sugarcoat it. He's seen it too many times—people with all the talk and none of the action.We get into the rise and collapse of his earlier ventures, including the one that made headlines: Shreds. He opens up about losing it all—money, reputation, friendships—and how walking away wasn't just a business move. It was a moral choice. After discovering people close to him were getting paid before the employees and vendors, he had to step out. But leaving meant giving up everything he helped build. That decision haunted him for years.This episode pulls no punches. We talk about betrayal, misplaced loyalty, and how easy it is to misread people when your gut's not tuned in. Ankur admits he missed the signs. He questions whether he betrayed people too—not out of malice, but by promising more than he could deliver when he was young, hungry, and blinded by the rush of success.We explore how rock bottom changed him. After years of living large, Ankur found himself back at his parents' house, broke, depressed, and questioning his worth. No sponsors, no co-signs, no golden parachute. Just Uber driving, $25 flyer gigs, and a deep need to find his footing again. What followed was three years in Pittsburgh, where he rebuilt quietly. No flash. No ego. Just work.He talks about losing confidence, dealing with physical symptoms of stress, and eventually finding his strength again—mentally, emotionally, and financially. It's not a redemption montage. It's a slow, grinding climb. But when his beard grew back (literally), he knew something inside had shifted. He finally loved himself again.Luis and Ankur go deep on loyalty, adult friendships, and why Ankur keeps his circle small. He shares how trauma shaped the way he gives and receives love, and why a simple act—like someone bringing him a coffee—can mean more than words ever could. They talk about chasing accomplishment vs. chasing validation, and how sometimes, you just need to hear “you were right” to get that fire back.They also unpack the origin story of Youngry—a name Ankur held onto for 20 years, waiting for the right moment. That moment is now. He explains how he brought in trusted partners to build something bigger than himself. The agency isn't just about marketing—it's about creating opportunities for creators and entrepreneurs who want to work smart, build loud, and do it without selling out.This is more than a story about business. It's about falling apart and coming back stronger. It's about the identity shifts we all go through and what it takes to truly reinvent yourself when nobody's watching. Ankur's story will hit home for anyone who's ever been humbled by life and had to start over.If you've ever felt like giving up, or like your past disqualified you from your future, you need to hear this one. Not because it's pretty—but because it's real.

It's the OUT OF SIGHT episode, and our guest is Bilge Ebiri. Do we need to sell you on this? OK, fine: in 1998 Steven Soderbergh took a job for hire directing an Elmore Leonard adaptation and ended up finding the style that would define much of his career, minting George Clooney as a movie star, capturing Jennifer Lopez's best-ever performance, working with Don Cheadle and Luis Guzman and a bunch of other people for the first time, and making one of the most watchable films of the 1990s. Jake also read the whole book. We talk about Leonard's moral universe, prison stuff, cop stuff, crime fiction stuff. I mean, come on. It's the OUT OF SIGHT episode with Bilge.

Welcome to Episode 37 of the I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman Podcast, hosted by Luis Guzman.In this raw and inspiring episode, we sit down with Christo, the owner and creator of Christo's Wake & Steak in Bloomfield, New Jersey. He's known for making what many call the best cheesesteaks in the state—but his story runs way deeper than just killer sandwiches.Christo's path is built on passion, grit, and old-school values. He started working in a pizzeria at thirteen, learned the game the hard way, and saved every penny for years. From working alongside his brother to running a nonprofit clinic, to finally firing up the grill at Wake & Steak, Christo's journey is all heart and hustle.This episode digs into what makes Wake & Steak different—tight hours, a small menu, and insane attention to detail. It's a full-on rebellion against fast-food shortcuts, built on pride and precision. Christo's not trying to be everything to everyone—he's just trying to do things right.We talk about launching a small business without big money or marketing teams, the nerves of opening day, and how social media unexpectedly helped Wake & Steak explode. Christo shares his philosophy on treating every customer like family, the power of quality over quantity, and why showing up with consistency is everything.Luis and Christo also chop it up about what it means to be an artist in the business world. For Christo, his food is his art—and not everyone's going to get it. That's fine by him. He doesn't do pizza steaks. He won't cut corners to please a crowd. His story is a reminder that real success comes from staying true to your vision, even when it's scary.We also get into the grind: working multiple jobs, saving with intention, pushing through setbacks (including the pandemic), and never quitting—even when it felt like no one was watching. Christo drops his “tree analogy” for growth—how you grow as tall as you're meant to grow, and you weather every storm that comes your way. It's gold.If you're a food entrepreneur, creative, or just someone stuck at the starting line of your dream, this episode is a wake-up call. It's a gut-level look at the risks, sacrifices, and joy that come from betting on yourself. It's also a celebration of what happens when you pick passion over popularity and integrity over shortcuts.Christo's Wake & Steak is at 1290 Broad Street in Bloomfield, NJ. They're open 7AM to 3PM—or until they sell out (which they often do). The menu is simple but deadly: the OG cheesesteak with Cheese Whiz, the “new school” with Cooper Sharp, and the North Shore beef that disappears almost instantly. Everything's made fresh, by hand, and with serious care.If you've ever doubted food can be art, Christo's about to prove you wrong. And if you've ever questioned whether your dream is worth the risk—this one's for you.Make sure to subscribe to the I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman Podcast for more real talk with artists, creatives, and entrepreneurs who are building lives they believe in—without selling out.

Val Kilmer was one of the most eclectic and enthralling actors of his generation and one of the movies that heavily showcased this is this week's movie, “The Salton Sea.” Kilmer showed he could be wacky, like in “Top Secret!” and “Real Genius” or deadly serious like in “Spartan” and “The Doors.” In “The Salton Sea” he sort of combines those two and it makes for an entertaining and captivating performance. If you want a movie that leads you down one path, en route to setting an expectation, just to subvert it, and does it multiple times, “The Salton Sea” just might be for you. Kilmer plays Danny Parker, a trumpet player, who has a faithful marriage to a beautiful wife until that all comes to an end. Afterwards, his life becomes a drug-filled downward spiral as he joins the perpetual night party of the tweaker to cope, or is that why he's really doing it? We don't know. He's also a confidential informant for a couple of L.A. detectives who want him to set up a maniacally, murderous drug dealer named Pooh Bear. This is a drug dealer known for killing people suddenly just because he doesn't like the tone of their voice. Also, Danny is told that he's been marked for death for something he didn't do, so things went from beautiful and romantic to pitiful and manic really quick. Is Danny Parker for real, or is he someone else? Will he survive the vortex of violence he finds himself in? Is it worth finding out in this lesser known Val Kilmer movie? Check out my spoiler-free review on this episode to find out! “The Salton Sea” also stars Vincent D'Onofrio, Adam Goldberg, Luiz Guzman, Doug Hutchison, Anthony LaPaglia, Glenn Plummer, Peter Sarsgaard, Deborah Kara Unger, Chandra West, BD Wong, R. Lee Ermey, Shalom Harlow, Sherry Knight, Meat Loaf, Azura Skye, Josh Todd and Danny Trejo.     Support the showFeel free to reach out to me via:@MoviesMerica on Twitter @moviesmerica on InstagramMovies Merica on Facebook

This episode is what happens when raw honesty, side-splitting stories, and years of hustle walk into a podcast studio. In Episode 34 of I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman, host Luis Guzman chops it up with Vinnie Brand — stand-up comic, family man, and the mastermind behind The Stress Factory Comedy Club (aka New Jersey's most laughter-infused landmark since forever).If you think this is gonna be just another “I started a business and now I'm crushing it” convo — buckle up. This one's got plot twists, pizza with Robin Williams, emotional gut punches, and a few too many jokes about skinny jeans and U-Haul sweatpants.Vinnie takes us way back — like back-to-the-80s back — when he was juggling a failing marriage, a flower shop, a construction company, and the wild idea to jump on a comedy stage with zero prep. What happened next? He killed… then bombed… then got blackballed… then built a full-blown comedy empire from a basement in Jersey.Oh, and he once got kicked off stage for Robin Williams. And Robin apologized to him. (Yeah. That part.)We talk:

There's a serial killer around New York city going around murdering people in increasingly bizarre ways while also leaving increasingly minute details behind as clues.  Denzel Washington plays the brilliant criminologist Lincoln Rhymes who has been paralyzed from the neck down but can still solve clues while bedridden and Angelina Jolie plays Amelia, a plucky young beat cop-former model with a natural eye for forensics and...yada yada yada...they team up to catch the killer.  Directed by Phillip Noyce (Dead Calm, Clear and Present Danger, Sliver), this would end up be the last of SEVERAL thrillers released throughout the 1990's focusing on the hunt for a serial killer.  And while it might not hold up to the best (The Silence of the Lambs, Se7en) within this subgenre, it IS somewhat elevated by a stacked cast lead by Denzel and Angelina, also including Ed O'Neil, Queen Latifah, Michael Rooker, Luis Guzman, and Leland Orser.Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

We're starting off Jordan Peele Spooky Season Month with a decidedly not spooky action comedy about a little kitty named Keanu. But you can see a lot of bits in embryo here of what Peele will do later. We have cat lovers and cat haters on the podcast. And sorry for all the dog noise! But this movie sort of rules. Who saw this opening night at SXSW? Code switching. The white people in this movie are all terrible. Luis Guzman is awesome and lack of opportunities for Latinos in media. How is it this movie isn't more quotable? Next is Get Out! See you then!

Send us a Text Message.Ever wondered what would happen if Eddie Murphy had skipped "The Adventures of Pluto Nash"? We've got you covered! Join us as we put Eddie Murphy's filmography under the microscope, starting with the laughably ambitious flop "The Adventures of Pluto Nash." We crack jokes about Murphy's multiple roles and take a playful jab at Alec Baldwin's stealthy cameo. Fuel our fun debate on an alternative universe where names like Brendan Fraser, Bruce Willis, or even the late Chris Farley might have stepped into the spotlight – would it have been a game-changer for this sci-fi comedy?Grab your popcorn because our "Movies and Characters Chat" is nothing short of a rollercoaster. We dissect a film that could have doubled as a marathon – one long, breathless chase scene – and chew over the missed comedic opportunities. Did Rosario Dawson's casting play a part, or did the studio's scissors snip away the laughs? Oh, and if you're a fan of Luis Guzman, we're rallying behind his comedic chops, imagining him as Gomez Addams in "Wednesday," and comparing him to the legendary Raul Julia. We cap off this lively discussion by embracing the unfiltered joy of Eddie Murphy's performance in "Pluto Nash" – no holds barred.Closing out Andrew and I serve up a no-holds-barred review of a film that recently let us down, big time. Picture this: a cinema experience so underwhelming, we'd sooner discuss moon-based gyms and hypothetical wild animal encounters in space. We confess to seeking refuge in fantasy football trades and the Mariners game, anything to escape the yawn-inducing flick we endured.

Les, Kurt, and Jason convene from 3 different parts of the world this week as Les is in a hotel lobby in London, Kurt is on the East coast in the US, and Jason is on the West Coast, and they're ready to conjure up some opinions on the movie Genie. But first, Kurt has some Blac Chyna news that has the guys pining for the days of wilder and crazier Blac Chyna stories! Then, it's time to rub the box instead of a bottle because all the genie rules you think you knew are thrown out the window… including the ones laid out in this movie. A really likable and funny cast (Melissa McCarthy! Paapa Essiedu! Alan Cumming! Luis Guzman! Marc Maron!) can't make this movie make sense, no matter how many wishes this genie grants. But at least we get a genie choosing a new outfit makeover montage, a truly insane subplot about accidentally stealing the Mona Lisa, and a scene that may have been written in hopes of at one point getting Eddie Murphy to sign onto them movie.  Facebook : alifetimeofhallmark Instagram : lifetimeofhallmarkpodcast Theme song generously donated by purple-planet.com   Facebook : alifetimeofhallmark Instagram : lifetimeofhallmarkpodcast Theme song generously donated by purple-planet.com

Welcome to the second half of this week's run of Brian DePalma/Al Pacino collaborations as this crime drama came out ten years after Scarface starring Pacino in title role in his first performance following his long overdue (and several say not deserved) Oscar win for Best Actor for Scent of a Woman earlier that same year.  This was now an older, wiser Pacino....yet arguably just as loud, this time portraying a renowned former drug dealer who just got released from prison and is now trying to go straight.  Only several folks around him have other ideas... including his trusted attorney Kleinfeld (Sean Penn) and potential new rival gangster Benny Blanco (John Leguizamo)....all the while he's trying to rekindle the romance with his former flame Gale played by Penelope Ann Miller.  And what results is a big, brash crime epic set in New York City the '70's which is loaded with no shortage of memorable costumes, locales, lines of dialogue, and of course - this being DePalma - some unforgettable suspense set-pieces.  Luis Guzman and Viggo Mortensen also co-star in this seminal film which is about to turn 30.WARNING: GRAPHIC LANGUAGE & GRAPHIC VIOLENCE PORTRAYED THROUGHOUT MOVIE CLIPSHost & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon https://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

We had to let this one fly. Our friend of the show Aristotle and new friend Luis Guzman are in studio to talk about "Story Ave" Aristotle dropped serious wisdom on directing this piece and the story that left everyone on set in turmoil over the effect it had on them.
