On the Get Reelisms Podcast, filmmakers Madam Chase Rani and Christine Chen interview Austin director Jon Vallet about his new film American Dollhouse, which just premiered at South by Southwest and launched its festival run with an Austin “film family” crew. Vallet says the movie uses a character-driven, proto-slasher approach inspired by films like Psycho and Black Christmas, using modern anxieties about public spaces feeling unsafe and the dissonance of daily life in America as thematic fuel. He shares the logline: a woman inherits her childhood home, hoping to escape debt, but the house is falling apart and a doppelgänger-like neighbor becomes obsessively dangerous, escalating into a Christmas-set slasher. Vallet discusses prioritizing actors' performances, early sound and scoring collaboration, shooting on Sony Venice in 4:3 with natural light and night-for-day, a 15-day December 2024 shoot, a difficult third-act set build, and adapting scripts and schedules to budget and resources.   Hosts: Adam Rani (@adamthechase)  & Christine Chen (@cchenmtf)  About Christine W Chen: Christine W.

What happens when you intentionally step away from the noise of the world and spend an entire year alone in the woods?In this deeply personal episode of Afterlife Café TV, I sit down with Lindsay Vandenhurk to explore her extraordinary journey through solitude, silence, healing, and self-remembrance.Just before turning 40, Lindsay made a life-altering choice. After recognizing she was living out of alignment with her deepest truth, she ended a relationship, packed her belongings, moved back to Canada, and retreated into the woods. With no income, no vehicle, and very little external distraction, she committed herself to a year of simplicity, silence, sobriety, celibacy, and profound self-inquiry.Her days became beautifully simple: chopping wood, tending the fire, walking in nature, and sitting with the ache of grief as layers of conditioning, people-pleasing, performance, and false identities began to fall away.Then came the Luna Moth.For four consecutive nights, this rare and magical visitor appeared, becoming a powerful symbol and message from Spirit: the cocooning season was ending. It was time to emerge.What followed was not a journey of becoming someone new, but of remembering who she had always been beneath the expectations, roles, and stories she had carried for decades.Together, we explore:• What happens when the identities we've built our lives around begin to dissolve• Why silence can be one of our greatest teachers• The courage it takes to live in alignment with truth• Rebuilding trust in intuition and inner knowing• Nature as a guide, healer, and mirror• The difference between performing life and fully living it• Returning to the world after profound transformationThis conversation is for anyone who has ever felt disconnected from themselves, questioned the life they were living, or sensed there was something deeper calling them home.Grab your coffee  and join us for a heartfelt conversation about healing, alignment, courage, and remembering who you were before the world told you who to be.

After 5 years of eldercare and other demands, Lynn is saying yes to herself again by setting boundaries, scheduling creative projects, and pursuing her own work.They explore:How comedy works as a delivery system for challenging conversations and cultural shiftWhy the specificity of storytelling creates unexpected connection across differenceWhat it means to set boundaries and reclaim your creative life after burnoutLynn talks about the social contract of comedy and when you attend a show, you're required to listen to someone, even if they don't look like you or share your background. That simple act normalizes different perspectives and creates the possibility for cultural change. She's built Gold Comedy to help women and underrepresented voices succeed in comedy and entertainment, because the industry hasn't evolved enough since the 90s.

They discuss recent Oscars results, including a tie and Sam Davis winning after their interview, and debate why genre films like Sinners may struggle for Best Picture despite winning Best Original Screenplay, while One Battle After Another wins Best Picture and PTA earns Best Director.

Why did one of progressive metal's most legendary mad scientists walk away from traditional collaboration to protect his own creative sanity? On this week's episode of The Loaded Radio Podcast, host Scott Penfold sits down with the incomparable Devin Townsend following the highly anticipated release of his massive, 24-track rock opera project, The Moth. In an incredibly open and elaborate conversation, Devin delves into the intense physical pain and personal life transformations that completely derailed and reshaped the direction of this decade-in-the-making symphonic masterpiece. Devin also takes a raw look back at his '90s catalog, reflecting on how he feels today about fronting Strapping Young Lad and stepping onto the global stage alongside Steve Vai for the infamous Sex & Religion album. While he reveals that his current relationship with Vai is excellent, Devin drops a bombshell truth about his creative process, admitting that he actually "does his friends favors by not working with them" because of how difficult he can be in the studio unless he maintains total control. Voices From The Underground Segment: In the second half of the show, we shift our focus to the grassroots independent scene. Scott catches up with Niko and Thursday from the rising Spring Hill, Florida-based original metal band Silver Bullet Smile . We discuss their breakout success on the unsigned charts, their studio workflow crafting thunderous tracks like "Man In The Moon", and the absolute grit required to break through the modern underground metal circuit.

Sam Davis on Making Oscar-Nominated Short ‘The Singers' Without a Script, Casting Viral Buskers, and Shooting on Film On Get Reelisms podcast episode 187, filmmakers Adam Chase Rani and Christine Chen interview Los Angeles–based filmmaker Sam Davis, who is campaigning his live-action short The Singers, nominated for an Academy Award and streaming on Netflix. Davis traces the project back 3–3.5 years to reading a George Saunders breakdown of a Russian short story, then adapting it into a modern bar-set film starring first-time actors found on social media, which took about 18 months to cast due to scam concerns and trust-building. He describes a documentary-influenced, unscripted approach with long improvised takes, constant sound recording, layered audio, and shooting on 35mm film for intentionality, while noting the costs of film and travel. The four-day shoot faced setbacks, including a lead dropping out two days prior. Davis discusses song selection, costume strategy, collaborating with a small crew, balancing documentary and narrative work, and developing future projects, including a long-term feature documentary.   About Christine W Chen: Christine W. Chen is a Taiwanese American filmmaker, Academy member (Short Films Branch), and versatile producer, director, and writer known for bold, character-driven storytelling. Through her production company, Moth to Flame, she has created award-winning short films, features, and branded content—including Erzulie, a feminist swamp thriller that had a limited theatrical run and now streams on major platforms. In addition to her directorial work, Christine is a seasoned DGA 1st Assistant Director and co-author of Get Reelisms and ABCs of Filmmaking, as well as the co-host of the Get Reelisms Podcast.

Send us Fan MailThe Trial Lawyers College -- which your host Jonathan Katz attended in 1995, followed to this day during the year with periodic trial preparation gatherings of TLC alums and others (shout out to our repeat co-host, criminal defense lawyer supreme, and my decades-long friend Christopher Flohr for hosting such monthly gatherings for years at his Maryland law office) -- makes clear that the TLC does not "offer training for those lawyers who represent government, corporations or large business interests." A sizeable chunk of Trial Lawyers College attendees are criminal defense and plaintiffs personal injury attorneys. When Jon learned that National College of DUI Defense leader Andrew Mishlove embraces Trial Lawyers College approaches, Jon Katz invited him to speak on this Beat the Prosecution podcast, to include addressing integrating TLC approaches with winning DUI defense. Andrew exemplifies the truism that there are always more essential lessons to learn. When he was already in his fifties and very accomplished as a DUI defense lawyer, Andrew learned about the Trial Lawyers College and immediately embraced its approach of persuading through storytelling and applying psychodram and scene setting approaches. Andrew is right on point in talking about the story catalyst that Alfred Hitchcock named the MacGuffin, and the hero's journey of the story. He wonderfully weaves My Cousin Vinny and Star Wars in articulating that approach. Andrew also discusses using the Moth storytelling approach (see his article on the Moth here) -- which is covered at the TLC's Graduate II program -- giving credit to Nebraska lawyer Maren Chaloupka, who addresses storytelling as involving the story worth telling, running from extraordinary to every day events that can be transformative. Andrew also here discusses his week-long annual program with the NCDD entitled Serious Science: Advanced Course in Blood Drug Analysis & Trial Advocacy, where in addition to focusing on persuading for justice for the defense in court, the participants have an opportunity to experience blood analysis from the viewpoint and approach of blood examining and analyzing scientists, whether their testimony is for the defense or prosecution. This episode is also available on YouTube and Apple Podcasts. This podcast with Fairfax, Virginia criminal / DUI lawyer Jon Katz is playable on all devices at podcast.BeatTheProsecution.com.

The Salt Path is a 2018 memoir, nature, and travel book by Raynor Winn. It details the long-distance walk along the South West Coast Path, in South West England, by Winn and her husband, Moth, after they lost their home, and Moth was diagnosed with fatal corticobasal degeneration (CBD). It deals with the theme of homelessness and the nature of home in the face of the unpredictability of life. It was shortlisted for the 2018 Wainwright Prize and the Costa Book Awards, and won the 2019 RSL Christopher Bland Prize. A 2024 film adaptation of the same name has Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs in the lead roles. Some background events central to the premise of the book were disputed following an investigative piece in July 2025 by The Observer, which stated that Winn lost her home after stealing £64,000 from her employer, and cast doubt on her husband's diagnosis of CBD.[1] Raynor has since denied these claims and said she was taking legal advice.[2][3]
