A nameless truck, an everyday salesman, and 90 minutes of pure escalation: this episode is all about Steven Spielberg's debut feature, Duel (1971).We talk through how a simple setup – Dennis Weaver's mild-mannered David Mann driving to a routine meeting – turns into a relentless nightmare when he's targeted by a grimy tanker truck that seems less like a vehicle and more like a stalking predator. From suburban driveways to dusty California highways, we track every swerve, near–miss, and increasingly desperate decision as a casual overtake turns into a life-or-death duel on the road.Along the way we get into:Road rage and paranoia – why Mann feels like a “cuck vs truck” case study, and how the film weaponises every tiny driving irritation into something sinister.The truck as a character – the battered Peterbilt, its collection of license plates, its “face” in the grill and headlights, and the choice never to fully show the driver.Minimal cast, maximum tension – how Spielberg keeps it gripping with basically one man, one truck, a diner, a school bus and a handful of side characters.Set-pieces that still work – the diner sequence and “which guy is it?”, the stalled school bus, the railway crossing shove, the Snake-O-Rama phone box attack, and that final hillside showdown.Spielberg's emerging style – low-mounted cameras to fake speed, clever blocking, the way he maps the whole journey out on paper, and the stunts he only had one chance to get right.Production trivia – its origins as a TV movie, the brutal shooting schedule, why the truck doesn't explode, and how its death roar later turns up in other Spielberg classics.If you like tight, stripped-back thrillers, if you've ever shouted at another driver, or if you're curious to hear three dads pick apart early Spielberg craft as much as they laugh about it, this is a good place to jump into the podcast.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

Munich, la joya olvidada de Spielberg, cumple 20 años Hace 20 años, después de presentar Guerra de los mundos y antes de realizar El reino de la calavera de cristal, Steven Spielberg se acercaba a los atentados terroristas de los Juegos Olímpicos de Munich, para explorar en una nueva película, al Mossad, la organización de contraterrorismo implementada por el gobierno de Israel. La película lleva por nombre Munich, la ciudad donde comienza la historia. Las críticas no se hicieron esperar, en especial ante lo violento y explícito en la narrativa creada por Spielberg. Pero también, ante una supuesta parcialidad frente la brutalidad desplegada en la pantalla. Hoy, con las luces, y sobre todo frente a las oscuridades de nuestro tiempo, la película merece ser revisada y el discurso de Spielberg debe ser visto en toda la magnitud posible, porque probablemente la película es mucho más pacifista y neutral de lo que se pueda sospechar. A 20 años del estreno de Munich, este podcast Cinegarage quiere invitar a esa reflexión. Por ello para hablar de la película, su maestría y el dilema ante el que nos pone, invitamos a Antón Goenechea: director, guionista, cinéfilo y amigo entrañable de Cinegarage.

Bobbie BrownTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Bobbie Brown. Bobbie first gained notoriety as a 'video vixen' in rock music videos on MTV. Appearing in videos for the bands Hurricane, Great White, and Warrant. In this episode, we chat about how she grew up in Baton Rouge, dreaming of being a model, and then moved to Los Angeles to make those dreams come true. We cover her time on Star Search, where she was the winningest contestant in any category, in the history of the show. Then we talk about how she got into performing in music videos and eventually meeting and marrying the lead singer of Warrant, Jani Lane. Along the way, we discuss substance abuse, the music career that never was, her auditions for Scorsese, and Spielberg, and working with Arnold Schwarzenegger, her relationship with Tommy Lee, meeting OJ Simpson, and so much more! Naturally we talk about her autobiography (Dirty Rocker Boys), and the new memoir that she is working on currently. Bobbie was part of the cast of the reality show 'Ex Wives of Rock' which lasted 4 seasons, and we do talk a bit about that as well. More recently, during Covid, Bobbie had her identity stolen, her money stolen, and through all of this led her to have a life changing Holy experience. Of course, we touched on those experiences and how they left her a changed woman. Bobbie is starting to tour the country attending conventions. Catch her at a con near you and tell her you heard her on Fascination Street Podcast.

In this special holiday episode of the Building Better Foundations season of the Building Better Developers Podcast, hosts Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche pause their usual deep-dive discussions to share meaningful Thanksgiving reflections for developers. This annual tradition goes beyond technology and process—it centers on gratitude, growth, and the people who shape our journeys. Why Thanksgiving Reflections for Developers Matter Even though the recording takes place before the holiday, the episode releases just as listeners gather for Thanksgiving. Rob's signature "gobble gobble" sound kicks things off, marking another year of stepping back to appreciate the wins, the lessons, and the relationships that make the development life meaningful. Thanksgiving reflections for developers remind us that progress isn't just code—it's community, resilience, and perspective. Two Sides of the Year: Thanksgiving Reflections for Developers Rob begins with a candid look at a year of downsizing, simplifying, and major life changes. The process has been exhausting but also freeing—removing clutter, shifting priorities, and making room for what matters most. Michael shares his own version of growth: completing a massive project, evolving his consulting business into a full-fledged software company, and learning hard lessons through the transition. The challenges brought long hours and stress, but they also delivered clarity and direction for the future. These Thanksgiving reflections for developers capture a familiar truth: every challenge is a stepping stone. Gratitude for People: Core Thanksgiving Reflections for Developers Both hosts highlight the importance of people above all else. Rob's Reflections Gratitude for his RB Consulting team—developers, project managers, and early-career talent who have grown tremendously. Appreciation for the relationships built over years of collaboration. Joy in mentoring and watching team members evolve into seasoned professionals. Michael's Reflections Deep appreciation for his wife and family, who supported him through 100-hour workweeks. Gratitude for friendships and the podcast partnership with Rob. Reflection on his soon-to-end team at Chase, and thankfulness for the journey they shared. The strongest Thanksgiving reflections for developers are always about people—not projects. Technology and Connection: Modern Thanksgiving Reflections for Developers Rob notes how technology has made it possible to work from almost anywhere—thanks to wireless tools, remote access, and communication platforms like Zoom and FaceTime. Michael adds that technology is powerful when used for real connection—not just scrolling or posting, but collaborating, calling, and being present with others. These Thanksgiving reflections for developers highlight a key truth: tech connects us, but only if we use it intentionally. Traditions and Joy: Lighthearted Thanksgiving Reflections for Developers The episode also brings fun holiday traditions into the conversation: Holiday football (Detroit Lions as always) Tennessee weather unpredictability The release of the final season of Stranger Things Sci-fi inspirations like Spielberg and Lucas These lighthearted moments remind us that gratitude isn't just serious—it's joy, nostalgia, and shared experiences. Community Appreciation: Final Thanksgiving Reflections for Developers The hosts close with heartfelt thanks to the podcast community. Listener stories, project successes, and feedback fuel the show's mission to help developers grow, improve, and thrive. "Go out into the world and be thankful." — Building Better Developers Podcast Thanksgiving Reflections for Developers: Build Better Foundations This Thanksgiving episode delivers a warm reminder that building better developers begins with building better foundations of gratitude—for people, for opportunities, for growth, and for technology that keeps us connected. From Rob and Michael: Happy Thanksgiving—and stay thankful. Stay Connected: Join the Developreneur Community We invite you to join our community and share your coding journey with us.

In 2002, Steven Spielberg and Leonardo DiCaprio teamed up for a cat-and-mouse drama with surprising emotional heft.

Bob recalls loving the film back in Season 1 but hasn't revisited it in years, while Brad brings fresh eyes (and big feelings) to Spielberg's blend of charm, melancholy, and father-wound storytelling. Together they unpack how the film plays differently after The Fabelmans, why Leonardo DiCaprio's performance might be one of his best, and how Tom Hanks turns a supporting role into one of the most quietly emotional characters of his career.Then, the guys crack open Johnnie Walker Black Label, the iconic 12-year blended Scotch whisky. Is it still the gold standard of affordable scotch—or does it fall short compared to modern favorites like Monkey Shoulder and Chivas Regal? Brad finds more fruit and toffee than Bob does, leading to one of their more divided reviews this season.Along the way, they celebrate Hanksgiving, dive into Spielberg's evolving themes of identity, deception, and family fragmentation, revisit Christopher Walken's unforgettable supporting turn, and explore why Catch Me If You Can might secretly be one of the all-time great Thanksgiving movies.Has it been a while since you revisited Catch Me If You Can?

How AI Will Change Hollywood Forever: Tye Sheridan & Nikola Todorovic on AI, VFX, and the Future of Filmmaking

A Note from James:Tye Sheridan is one of my favorite actors. You might know him as Cyclops in the X-Men movies (Apocalypse, etc.) or as the lead in Ready Player One—which is not only a great movie but also one of my favorite sci-fi books. One of his first films was Mud with Matthew McConaughey.What I didn't realize: since 2016, while still acting, Tye has also been a serious AI entrepreneur. He and Nikola Todorovic co-founded AI-powered VFX/CGI company, Wonder Dynamics, now an Autodesk company, that built AI tools to make visual effects more accessible.I wanted them both on to talk about how AI will change filmmaking—potentially letting someone like me make a movie that would normally cost hundreds of millions because of VFX—and, just as important, how Tye balanced being a movie star and an entrepreneur at the same time. I also wanted Nikola's take on where AI is going and whether it will take jobs. Fascinating conversation ahead—here are Tye Sheridan and Nikola Todorovic.Episode Description:James sits down with actor–founder Tye Sheridan and VFX director Nikola Todorovic to unpack how their company's AI tools (now part of Autodesk) are changing what small teams can pull off—and what that means for studios, budgets, and actual stories. They trace the path from stitching 360° GoPro rigs and a VR proof-of-concept… to a first demo for Steven Spielberg… to a platform that lets indies do big-look work without big-studio burn. You'll hear clear, non-hyped answers on where text-to-video fits, why they focus on editable 3D over black-box 2D, and a candid take on the only moat that still matters: writing something people care about.What You'll Learn:A workable cost model for VFX-heavy projects: where 10× savings can come from—and where they can't.How to run “lean” on real productions: recruiting cross-disciplinary talent and sequencing funding without chasing hype cycles.3D pipelines vs. text-to-video: why pros need full control of lighting, camera, and performance—and how Sora-style tools can still complement the workflow.Story first, always: the audience forgives limited budgets—not lazy scripts.A pragmatic future for studios and indies: expanding voices without erasing human actors or craft.Timestamped Chapters:[00:02:00] “Hollywood is nervous”: James frames the AI anxiety he's hearing in studio rooms.[00:03:01] A note from James: why Tye's career (from Mud to Ready Player One) made him the right guest—plus Nikola's VFX roots.[00:06:03] Tree of Life to tech startup: meeting on set, Chivo's influence, and early curiosity about tools.[00:13:46] DIY 360° & the Spielberg audition: the VR demo, a $10k experiment, and a first product pitch to Steven.[00:20:12] The question everyone asks: will AI erase studio jobs—or expand what smaller teams can make?[00:24:00] Distribution changed—financing didn't: presales, streaming, strikes, and why a bigger shift is still coming.[00:27:12] Reality check on budgets: VFX vs. SFX, and how a $100M effects bill could land near $10M.[00:36:02] Running lean + real backers: Founders Fund, MaC VC, Horizons; hiring for overlap (CV/ML/VFX/eng).[00:37:44] From waitlist to workflows: who used the platform first, and a TV case where weeks became days.[00:42:12] Sora vs. 3D pipelines: where text-to-video fits—and why pros avoid black-box 2D for final shots.[01:00:45] “A decade of procrastination”: the founders joke about building a company to avoid writing their own film—then set sights on making it.Additional Resources:Tye Sheridan — filmography and roles (Ready Player One, X-Men).

Greiving traces a lifelong fandom that began with a Jurassic Park cassette, then details the five-year journey of the book: 5:30 a.m. writing rituals, a year of archival research, and rare long-form conversations with Williams at the Amblin bungalow. Together they explore Williams' jazz and Great American Songbook roots, his Brahms-leaning aesthetic, and how he revived—and refined—the classic Hollywood symphonic tradition with Spielberg and Star Wars. You'll hear why Greiving calls Williams “closer to a church composer,” how the E.T. finale let the music lead picture, why the orchestra is truly timeless, and the astonishing revelation about Williams' grandfather, Thomas Nagel, a silent-era cinema music director. Close with a lightning round on favorite themes, underrated scores, and the one word that captures John Williams. Featured music: Star Wars Main Title • “Fascinatin' Rhythm” (arr. JW) • Jurassic Park Theme • “Baubles, Bangles, and Beads” (JW Trio) • “Hatikvah” from Munich • “Luke & Leia” • The Quiet Man Main Title • Seven Years in Tibet Main Theme (w/ Yo-Yo Ma) • Superman Main Theme • Schindler's List Theme (Itzhak Perlman) • Piano Concerto No. 1 (Ax/BSO) • Violin Concerto No. 2: II “Rounds” (Mutter/BSO) • “Harry's Wondrous World” • “Adventures on Earth” (VPO) • “Flight to Neverland” (VPO) • Close Encounters excerpts (VPO) • “Hedwig's Theme” • “Flying” (E.T.) • “Throne Room & Finale” (Berlin Phil)

Spielberg regresa a Webbtertainment, (para salvarlo) en su película más íntima y personal. Un film en el que el director abre las puertas de su memoria, revisita su infancia y nos invita a comprender las heridas, los sueños y los descubrimientos que dieron forma al cineasta con el que crecimos y maduramos. Para hablar de ello contamos con Federico Alba, autor del libro El cine fantástico de Steven Spielberg: Padres ausentes, niños perdidos. Con él desgranaremos las claves emocionales de esta historia, inspirada directamente en la infancia del director, y veremos cómo ese universo familiar, frágil y lleno de descubrimientos, ha marcado gran parte de su filmografía. Hablaremos largo y tendido sobre cómo esta historia, inspirada en la propia infancia de Spielberg, resuena títulos como E.T., Encuentros en la tercera fase, A.I., Poltergeist y tantas otras obras que marcaron a varias generaciones de espectadores. Preparaos para un viaje al corazón de un creador, a la infancia del mito, al lugar donde empezó la leyenda. En este programa entramos en los recuerdos de Spielberg, Los Fabelmans.

Min 4: WICKED 2: FOR GOOD (3 estrellas) Wicked 2", dirigida por Jon M. Chu y protagonizada por Cynthia Erivo y Ariana Grande, retoma el viaje de Elphaba y Glinda justo donde lo dejó la primera parte, pero lo hace con un pulso más sombrío y un sentido de la épica que empuja el cuento hacia territorios de ruptura emocional. La película muestra cómo la amistad entre ambas se tensiona hasta el límite mientras Oz revela su cara más despiadada, con el Mago consolidando un régimen que convierte la diferencia en amenaza. Chu maneja el musical con una puesta en escena más ambiciosa, mezcla números íntimos con despliegues visuales de gran formato y da a Erivo un arco dramático que sostiene la película con una potencia que no siempre alcanza su compañera de reparto. Min 16: THE RUNNING MAN (3'5 estrellas) "The Running Man (2025)", dirigida por Edgar Wright y con Glen Powell en un papel que confirma su salto definitivo al estrellato, convierte la novela de Stephen King (publicada como Richard Bachman) en una distopía vibrante, estilizada y mucho más cercana al tono satírico del autor que la versión de los ochenta. Wright despliega su sello visual con un montaje eléctrico, humor negro dosificado y una lectura muy clara del poder de las plataformas y la viralidad como nueva forma de control social. Min 21: CIUDAD SIN SUEÑO (4 ESTRELLAS) "Ciudad sin sueño", ópera prima de ficción de Guillermo Galoe, sigue a Toni (Antonio Fernández Gabarre), un chico gitano de 15 años que vive con su familia en la Cañada Real, el asentamiento irregular más grande de Europa, mientras los derribos y los planes de realojo amenazan con borrar el único mundo que conoce. Galoe, que escribe el guion junto a Víctor Alonso-Berbel y trabaja con intérpretes no profesionales del propio barrio, construye un drama social de fuerte carga atmosférica en el que la precariedad eléctrica, las hogueras nocturnas y las leyendas infantiles se mezclan con la cámara en mano y las imágenes captadas con móviles para levantar un retrato entre poético y crudo de una comunidad al borde del desalojo. Min 25: DRÁCULA, DE LUC BESSON (2,5 ESTRELLAS) "Drácula", la relectura de Luc Besson sobre el mito, apuesta por un romanticismo oscuro que combina tragedia, exceso visual y una mirada obsesiva sobre la inmortalidad del deseo. Lejos de la estilización gótica clásica, Besson propone un vampiro más febril y vulnerable, interpretado por Caleb Landry Jones con una mezcla de fragilidad y violencia que sostiene la película incluso cuando el relato se escapa hacia lo operístico. El director francés construye un duelo emocional entre Drácula y la joven que encarna la reencarnación de su amada, y lo hace desde una puesta en escena de contrastes muy marcados Min 30: LA BALA (2 estrellas) "La bala", dirigida por Carlos Iglesias, es un drama de corte histórico y thriller moral que explora cómo el pasado late aún debajo de las promesas familiares y las atrocidades silenciadas. La película sigue a Julián, un sacerdote de clase acomodada que hace realidad la promesa hecha a su madre: recuperar los restos de su tía, enfermera de la División Azul muertos en la Unión Soviética durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. MIn 33: JAY KELLY (4 estrellas) "Jay Kelly", dirigida por Noah Baumbach y protagonizada por George Clooney como su alter-ego, explora la fisura entre el rostro público y el yo privado en un star system que devora identidad. Clooney encarna a Jay Kelly, una leyenda en pleno ocaso creativo que, tras la muerte de su mentor, se embarca en un tour europeo con su fiel manager (interpretado por Adam Sandler) para asistir a un festival, encontrarse con sus hijas y enfrentarse a la sombra alargada de sus éxitos y errores. Min35: OLIVIA Y EL TERREMOTO INVISIBLE (4 estrellas) "Olivia y el terremoto invisible", dirigida por Marina Llorente, es un drama emocional que aborda cómo un acontecimiento aparentemente imperceptible puede alterar para siempre la vida de una familia. La película sigue a Olivia, una adolescente que empieza a sufrir episodios de desconexión y lapsos de memoria coincidiendo con una serie de microseísmos que sacuden de forma casi imperceptible su ciudad. Lo que al principio parece un síntoma aislado se convierte en un viaje interior donde la protagonista intenta descifrar si lo que quiebra es el suelo bajo sus pies o el mundo emocional que ha construido alrededor de su madre, una mujer absorbida por su trabajo y por la presión de mantener a flote un hogar que se resquebraja sin hacer ruido. MIn 37: ALPHA (2 estrellas) "Alpha", dirigida por Julia Draconeau, es un drama inquieto y áspero que utiliza la desaparición de un adolescente en un barrio periférico de Marsella para diseccionar el modo en que una comunidad entera vive atrapada entre el miedo, la lealtad y un silencio heredado. La historia sigue a Lina, una trabajadora social que regresa al distrito donde creció para investigar el paradero del chico, y descubre que las mismas reglas no escritas que marcaban su juventud siguen gobernando cada esquina: Min 42: SUEÑOS EN OSLO (3,5 estrellas) “Drømmer†de Dag Johan Haugerud se adentra en la complejidad del deseo adolescente y la memoria intergeneracional con una elegancia poco habitual: la joven Johanne (Ella Øverbye) se enamora de su profesora de francés, Johanna (Selome Emnetu), y ese enamoramiento desencadena ondas que alcanzan a su madre y su abuela, ambas atrapadas en sus propios sueños y renuncias. Haugerud entrega una película que combina el coming-of-age con el retrato social y familiar, pero lo hace sin estridencias: la cámara se mantiene cercana, hay silencios que pesan y la escritura visual convierte los pasillos de un instituto, las bufandas de lana, los cuadernos con anotaciones íntimas, en metáforas de la tensión entre lo que uno quiere y lo que se espera. Min 44: LA PELÍCULA DE TU VIDA, CON ENRIQUE MUÑOZ El cineasta toledano Enrique Muñoz, autor del corto "Alicia" y del reciente documental "Viven", se ha consolidado como una de las voces más personales surgidas desde la escena independiente de Castilla-La Mancha, combinando una mirada muy íntima con un fuerte arraigo territorial. Formado en París y con una trayectoria marcada por proyectos levantados casi a pulmón, Muñoz ha construido un estilo que mezcla realismo emocional, riesgo formal y una sensibilidad especial para retratar a jóvenes creadores y comunidades locales, algo que alcanza plena expresión en Viven, su mosaico sobre el pulso musical de Toledo. Invitado a la sección "La película de tu vida" del programa Estamos de Cine, el director desveló que su título de referencia es "Hook", la fábula de Spielberg que marcó su infancia y que, como él mismo reconoce, sigue alimentando su imaginario y su manera de entender el relato cinematográfico. Min 48: BSO "HOOK" Con Ángel Luque rendimos tributo y ponemos la guinda musical a la elección de la semana con una banda sonora para el recuerdo. La banda sonora de "Hook" (1991) es uno de los trabajos más exuberantes y emotivos de John Williams, una partitura que mezcla aventura, nostalgia y un lirismo casi operístico para acompañar el viaje de Peter Banning hacia la recuperación de su identidad como Peter Pan.

From the Mona Lisa's fame without a counter to the way a Spielberg credit earns an automatic watch, I explain why following a creator's voice can be more satisfying than chasing whatever tops the charts.As for airline etiquette I talk about being a shades-up person most of the time, when it's kind to drop them, why not reclining in tight cabins respects the person behind you, and how back-to-front boarding logic beats aisle gridlock.

Steven Spielberg's extraordinary career redefined Hollywood, but his achievement goes far beyond shattered box office records. Rejecting the view of Spielberg as a Barnumesque purveyor of spectacle, Lester D. Friedman presents the filmmaker as a major artist who pairs an ongoing willingness to challenge himself with a widely recognized technical mastery. This new edition of Citizen Spielberg (University of Illinois Press, 2022) expands Friedman's original analysis to include films of the 2010s like Lincoln and Ready Player One. Breaking down the works by genre, Friedman looks at essential aspects of Spielberg's art, from his storytelling concerns and worldview to the uncanny connection with audiences that has powered his longtime influence as a cultural force. Friedman's examination reveals a sustained artistic vision--a vision that shows no sign of exhausting itself or audiences after Spielberg's nearly fifty years as a high-profile filmmaker.

Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast

Against all odds, 1975's Jaws was released and before long, was labeled a certified hit. So it's safe to say that not firing a forward thinking young director for going over 100 days over budget paid off, and before the term was even uttered, Universal Studios had a franchise on their hands. But what next? Well, it would only seem fit that they would capitalize on it with a sequel. Of course, the studio approached their young wunderkind Steven Spielberg to see if he would like to direct the follow up. But, after the nightmare that was the first one, plus his at the time complete disdain for anything and everything that was sequel related, Spielberg passed. So after a couple other attempts with a couple other directors, the studio settled on TV director Jeannot Szwarc. And despite the film running into many of the same problems the original did, (as well as a very disgruntled Roy Schneider being so angry about having to do this film he was getting in literal fights with Szwarc) Jaws 2 was released in 1978 and was a certified hit. Despite this success, there was one person who it passed over, and that is our very own Adam Bunch. See, Adam has never seen Jaws 2. Until now. Join the Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast as they review Jaws 2, and find out if their love for the first one carries over onto this one.

But what next? Well, it would only seem fit that they would capitalize on it with a sequel. Of course, the studio approached their young wunderkind Steven Spielberg to see if he would like to direct the follow up. But, after the nightmare that was the first one, plus his at the time complete disdain for anything and everything that was sequel related, Spielberg passed. So after a couple other attempts with a couple other directors, the studio settled on TV director Jeannot Szwarc. And despite the film running into many of the same problems the original did, (as well as a very disgruntled Roy Schneider being so angry about having to do this film he was getting in literal fights with Szwarc) Jaws 2 was released in 1978 and was a certified hit. Despite this success, there was one person who it passed over, and that is our very own Adam Bunch. See, Adam has never seen Jaws 2. Until now. Join the Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast as they review Jaws 2, and find out if their love for the first one carries over onto this one.

2023's greenest night started with Mr & Mrs. DTW getting a chance to listen in on us recording our episodes with Jim & Elaine.  We then head to a pre-party dinner with Stacy & Brett, Mr & MrsDTW, Jim & Elaine, Echo & Falcon.  Back at the Sexpartment, we change  where sneakers replaced heels before heading to the club. One lap around the club, Echo suggests to a wide-eyed younger couple the magic word: orgy. They might not join, but 10 of us do and Elaine wastes zero time dropping between Nessa's thighs while Jim's already tangled with strangers. MrsDTW calls shots like a swinger Spielberg; Falcon rails Nessa while Elaine rides her face. Cross-talk, blindfolds, and the first squirt tsunami hits when Elaine unloads on Jim.  Then G finger-blasts her into a room-crossing geyser that freezes eight other mid-thrust bodies in awe. Post-nut, the room's a puddle. The other couple bolts for a shower.  Falcon yanks on G's boxers, frowns “these don't feel right.” Echo hand him his own pair and Falcon returns them to G soaked. Underwear swap = official. Back at the bar, Curtis & Racheal, Grant & Morgan, Rock & Mandy, everyone lipstick-smeared and grinding.

Anky Cyriaque, a filmmaker originally from Haiti who grew up in New York, brings a unique perspective to the cinema industry, deeply rooted in his belief that storytelling reigns supreme. Influenced by early childhood experiences with American TV shows like Sesame Street, Cyriaque emphasizes that "story is king," a philosophy he upholds in his directorial pursuits. He expresses concern over the cinema industry's current trajectory, where financial considerations often overshadow the narrative, diminishing the traditional theatrical experience and leading to what he views as a decline in storytelling quality. Cyriaque also critiques the rapid shift from theatrical releases to video on demand, arguing that this quick transition erodes the value of the cinematic experience, urging a return to prioritizing engaging narratives that captivate audiences.(00:02:45) Short Films: Directors' Personal Storytelling Investments(00:05:57) Film Influence on Career Paths(00:10:23) "Showcasing Director's Storytelling Skills Through Shorts"(00:19:11) Streaming Services' Influence on Independent Filmmakers' Visibility(00:29:34) Dynamic Landscape of Modern Visual Narratives(00:34:52) Media Consumption Shift: Streaming vs. Physical Ownership(00:44:02) Influencer-Driven Marketing in Movie Promotion(00:47:01) Evolution of Independent Film Distribution Strategies(00:52:19) Spielberg's Influence on Film Appreciationhttps://www.imdb.com/name/nm3977697/
