They are premiering their 2nd episode tonight, but their first is currently available to stream at www.mydeathco.com 3. Averland DeCourse, Brandon Coleman, and cinematographer Sayyid talked to me about their film, Identity: Absolutely Present. We discussed their many influences from Spike Lee and Ryan Coogler to camera techniques made famous by Alfred Hitchcock. 4. Jaffe Zin sat down with me to talk about his latest feature film, Children. He described Children as a sort of existential Christian horror film, so obviously, I wanted to know more. He talks about the big differences between Children and his last feature film, Happy Valley. You can check out middlecoastfest.com for the whole lineup, or just head down there NOW and check out some seriously incredible films. This was recorded live in a noisy room, so be warned. But please suffer through the inferior quality, because I had a great time with these folks, and they absolutely have something to say. And thanks for supporting Movie Show Theater!

This week finds me interviewing AIWA USA Chairman Joe Born, a brilliant business leader, inventor and creative mind who I also happened to graduate high school with. In this episode, sponsored by Boost Mobile, we shared a Taco Tuesday at El Carrito (6019 N Lincoln Ave, Chicago, IL 60659) and talked about: "We've known each other for literal decades." Joe's 90s invention, "The Skip Doctor." The notion of entrepreneurship, from raising capital to commitment: This shit is hard. The Foremost Liquors next to El Carrito and its involvement in our high school years. My go-to? Old City Grocery on Devon Avenue. Joe's memory of me in high school? Accidentally punching me in the chin. My memory of Joe in high school? A brooding, earnest intensity. Why I missed the most recent gathering of old high school friends. "Life as an entrepreneur is just not routine." Working in an office is accurately portrayed by "Dilbert." How did Joe come to take over AIWA? (When we were kids, the Born family didn't run AIWA.) Best Rush album? I steer Joe to his answer. The magnificent AIWA Exos-9, and the importance of creating a real home stereo experience with a Bluetooth speaker. Does AIWA have a birthday club? Why does Spoon sound like Billy Joel? Joe shares an AIWA product on the podcast, and a way to get in early on AIWA product development. I make Joe repeat the high school punching story. AIWA Labs: It's not just dogs.

Shantira Jackson already knows how she feels about your crown molding and chances are it's not in the best of shape. She's the daughter of a master carpenter: SHE KNOWS. We were so happy to have Shantira as an honorary Rude Dude this week as dove into "Stephanie Plays the Field", which (hand to God) makes Stephanie choose between self-respect and TRUE LOVE. Off the field, Michelle is determined to prevent the conception of more children who might upstage her. You think you're primed to fuck? You ain't primed for shit. Also: The insane history of Barry Manilow, professional jingle writer; Shantira's history of watching 'Premium Blend' in her band uniform, and Jon's history of making super uncomfortable observations about how children grow. Jon: Stop talking about how children grow, you fucking creep. Don't forget: Our first live event is set for Saturday, 2/27 at 7:30 at the Lincoln Loft (3036 N Lincoln Ave). We're screening the first two episodes of 'Fuller House' and welcoming back four of our favorite guests, and it's fucking FREE. See you there! XOXO
