For IRM's 99th episode, Pax covers one of his holy grail novelizations, Midnight Madness from 1980!

Recorded live at the Toronto International Film Festival, David Peck sits down with filmmaker Bryan Fuller to discuss Dust Bunny, Fuller's darkly playful and deeply personal feature debut. What begins as a conversation about genre influences, Frankenstein, Blade Runner and Gremlins, turns inward, as Fuller reflects on childhood fear, imagination, and fairy tales. Together they explore how the film reframes monsters as emotional realities rather than fantasy creatures, and how humour, wonder, and visual style create both distance and healing. Dust Bunny emerges as a story for adults that is frightening, funny, and so tender. Bryan Fuller is an acclaimed writer, producer, and filmmaker celebrated for his visually striking, emotionally complex storytelling. He is best known as the creator of genre-defining television series including Hannibal, Pushing Daisies, Wonderfalls, and Dead Like Me, as well as his work on Star Trek: Discovery and American Gods. Across television, Fuller has built a reputation for blending dark humour, heightened fantasy, and deeply human themes, often exploring identity, trauma, and transformation through bold, imaginative worlds.With Dust Bunny, his feature-film debut, Fuller brings his singular voice to cinema. Premiering at TIFF's Midnight Madness, the film merges fairy tale, horror, and wit into a deeply personal story rooted in childhood fear and resilience. Whether working in television or film, Fuller continues to push genre boundaries, crafting stories that are visually lush, emotionally resonant, and unafraid to confront the monsters—real and imagined—that shape us.David Peck is a writer, speaker, and award-winning podcaster who works at the intersection of storytelling, social change, and meaningful dialogue. As the host of Face2Face and former host of Toronto Threads on 640 AM, he has published over 650 in-depth interviews with some of the world's most compelling thinkers, artists and storytellers, including Viggo Mortensen, Sarah Polley, Raoul Peck, Werner Herzog, Chris Hadfield, David Cronenberg, Gillian Anderson and Wade Davis.With a background in philosophy and international development, David brings a thoughtful, globally aware perspective to every conversation. He's a published author and experienced keynote speaker, known for creating spaces where complexity is welcomed and ideas come alive. Whether moderating panels, hosting live events, or speaking on issues ranging from ethics to media, David's work is grounded in a deep curiosity about people.At heart, he simply loves good conversation and believes it's one of the best ways we grow, connect, and make sense of the world.For more information about David Peck's podcasting, writing and public speaking please visit his site here.F2F Music and Image Copyright: David Peck, ICBL and Face2Face.

For our final Hollywood Week episode, we welcome iconic character actor and comedian Eddie Deezen for a career retrospective exploring his journey from performing stand-up at The Comedy Store to becoming Hollywood's go-to "nerd" character in beloved films. Eddie shares his origin story growing up in Cumberland, Maryland, moving to Los Angeles after graduating high school in 1975, and his breakout role as Eugene Felsnic in the 1977 blockbuster Grease. That led to high-profile comedy films including Robert Zemeckis' I Wanna Hold Your Hand, Steven Spielberg's 1941, Midnight Madness, WarGames, and Grease 2. We explore his transition to independent films including cult favorites like Surf II, and his successful pivot to voice acting in the mid-80s, landing iconic roles as Mandark in Dexter's Laboratory and the Know-It-All in The Polar Express. You can keep up with all things Deezen by following Eddie on Facebook.Support the show___________________Check out video versions of this and other episodes on YouTube: youtube.com/dollarbinbandits!If you like this podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe on Apple Podcasts or wherever you found this episode.

Send us a textWhat happens when 5,000+ geocachers descend upon Morgantown, West Virginia? Pure magic, unexpected friendships, and countless stories worth telling.Join us as we pull back the curtain on our Geo Woodstock 21 adventure – from the spectacular highs of performing our live podcast to a standing-room-only crowd to the technical woes that left our recording unusable (again). Before reaching Morgantown, Josh took a soul-stirring detour to Pittsburgh's Mr. Rogers statue where the beloved icon's voice still echoes beneath an arch overlooking the river – a moment he describes as "almost spiritual."Our Morgantown home base proved to be a geocacher's dream: a three-story Airbnb complete with hot tub (which Craig claimed immediately and repeatedly), arcade games, and ample space for late-night geocaching tales. We traversed the region collecting stamps for the Country Roads Challenge, discovered surprisingly exceptional margarita flights at Mountain State Brewing Company, and Josh fulfilled his destiny by donning full Barney Fife regalia at the Don Knotts statue downtown.The main event showcased geocaching at its finest – vendor halls brimming with gadget caches and trackables, a massive GPS maze chronicling the hobby's history, and the electric energy of thousands sharing their passion under one roof. The weekend crescendoed with Midnight Madness at West Virginia University, where our team of content creators squared off against Geocaching HQ staff in Family Feud, claiming victory despite Craig's memorable "nano" blunder that earned thunderous boos from the crowd.Whether you're planning for next year's Geo Woodstock in Hutchinson (near the world's oldest active geocache!), or simply love hearing tales of travel and community, this episode captures why these gatherings represent the heart and soul of geocaching.Have you experienced a Geo Woodstock yet?
