Join DblDubz, Filtrophobe, and Tuff on a two-hour-tour of what's expected to arrive to the Hero Realms digital app in 2026! Starting with what we thought was EVERYONE'S favorite segment (spoilers, it's not), the crew keeps the game-state analysis flowing with another entry in the Looking For Lethal series. From there the main segment hits and covers a wide range of topics – what balance changes may be coming down the pipeline, new ancestries for the beta, and new classes for the regular version of the game. There's no shortage of talk on the impact and analysis these changes will have on the game. There's a brief highlight on a class performance spreadsheet from StefP and Scorium plus Jseph's article regarding Tavern Brawl match-making. More to come on discussing this and future Tavern Brawls in the New Year! All that's left from here is to round up the Community Events and sign-off. Thanks for listening!

After running Impossible Pictures for two decades—serving major clients like Disney, Nat Geo, and Ford, Joel now helps creative studios and production companies around the world build sustainable, purpose-driven businesses without compromising their creative identity. In this conversation, he shares what it takes to lead a creative business in today's landscape of remote teams, tighter margins, AI disruption, and increased competition.Joel unpacks the most common pitfalls creative studio founders face, especially around sales, marketing, and pricing. He explains why growth doesn't have to mean dilution, how studios can structure their teams for creative freedom and financial discipline, and why the future belongs to lean, elite, highly specialized teams who know how to deliver at scale. Whether you're running a five-person shop or scaling beyond 20, Joel offers practical insights on navigating the “anxious middle,” setting smart financial guardrails, and focusing on what he calls your "genius."This episode also dives into how studios can escape commoditization by shifting from order-takers to trusted experts, developing proprietary methods, and building community with both clients and peers.

After a month long hiatus from Hero Realms discussion, the crew of Dubz, Filtrophobe, and Tuff reunite to find out just what everyone has been up to both in and out of the realms! Discussions of Tuff's experience at Pax U includes brief coverage of both Legends tournaments that took place along with highlights of his most anticipated games from his convention haul. Turning the spotlight over to Filtro, we get to hear a bit about how his recent wedding, reception, and honeymoon went before gearing up for the main segment -- what would happen if you could teach AI how to play Fighter mirrors in Hero Realms and then simulate millions of games under different builds and circumstances? Filtrophobe asked this very question and set his software engineering chops to vibe coding his way to the answers! A beefy main segment supported by data from these simulations gets into what builds are favored and why, when it's worth it to actually buy a card off the market, and when one may even forgo skilling in order to purchase. (Time stamp included!) A usual stop through the community round-up and a WWYD are all also included of course. Thanks for listening!

For episode 100, Lisa talks with her colleagues Eva Vilella, Trevor Hudson, and Kajsa Thelander Sadio from Tuff Leadership Training about what it's really like to work inside a self-managing organisation. They explore how working at Tuff has transformed each of them, their culture of continuous development with practices like "pebbles" and "mooseheads," and the genuine challenges alongside the beauty – from coordination difficulties to the loneliness of autonomy. A rare inside look at self-management with all its complexity, humor, and humanity.

We explore how Wisconsin is emerging as a new destination for filmmakers. We sit down with filmmaker Nathan Deming and veteran studio executive Suzanne Jurva, two key voices behind the recent passage of groundbreaking film incentive legislation in the state. Together, they break down how this bipartisan initiative came to life, what it means for the state's creative economy, and why it could serve as a model for regional film development elsewhere.Nathan shares his experience shooting in Wisconsin while splitting time between LA and the Midwest, and how the lack of infrastructure highlighted the need for change. Suzanne, whose career spans DreamWorks, independent film, and tech, discusses how her studio background shaped her advocacy efforts and why she believes the state is uniquely positioned to support both indie and studio-level productions. This episode dives into the real challenges of regional filmmaking—from crew access to gear rental—and how smart, community-driven policy can unlock growth. We also explore the early impact of these changes, the importance of post-production and training ecosystems, and the broader economic ripple effect of investing in film. About WrapbookWrapbook is a smart, intuitive platform that makes production payroll and accounting easier, faster, and more secure.

Hurricane Melissa is set to pummel Jamaica as a catastrophic Category 5 storm, the strongest to lash Jamaica since recordkeeping began 174 years ago. Forecasters said the storm is expected to make landfall early Tuesday and slice diagonally across the island, entering near St. Elizabeth parish in the south and exiting around St. Ann parish in the north. Hours before the storm, the government said it had done all it could to prepare as it warned of catastrophic damage. Prime Minister Andrew Holness said, “There is no infrastructure in the region that can withstand a Category 5. The question now is the speed of recovery. That's the challenge.”  In this episode, we speak with Tuff Like Iron, a reggae artist from Kingston, Jamaica and is currently visiting California. She also works with the Constitutional Reform Committee in Jamaica doing community support work.

Once again, I want to give you a little update on the slang words that are trending in today's world of children and teens. I do this as a service so that you can overcome your chronic parental ignorance in order to understand your kids, and even use these words yourself in a fun-loving effort to embarrass your kids! The word Aura refers to someone's cool level. At times kids will give aura points to someone who has shown a high level of cool. If someone has crashed out they have lost their temper. Kids are glazing when they engage in overrating or hyping something up too much. Tuff, spelled T-U-F-F, is a synonym for awesome or excellent. The words bussin and smacks are often used to describe food that is very good. And if you are wondering how to refer to something that's good rather than bad, well, throw baddie, straight fire, or gas into the conversation. I know, it all sounds very confusing, but just like we did during our teen years, our kids are inventing and using slang.

We sit down with the filmmakers behind the indie horror feature Dream Eater—Jay Drakulic, Mallory Drumm, and Alex Lee Williams—to break down how they turned weather limitations into creative fuel. Shot in just nine days on a modest budget high in the snowy mountains of Quebec, Dream Eater pushes the boundaries of DIY horror.The team shares how they used the weather, location, and constraints to their advantage—filming in sequence, capturing real sound on site, and turning production challenges into storytelling opportunities. They also discuss directing while acting, editing on the fly, and how tight collaboration kept morale high when conditions turned brutal. Executive Producer Eli Roth explains why the film stood out, how its ending evolved, and what it teaches about creative vision under pressure.Few films show the power of planning and adaptability like Dream Eater.

We sit down with filmmaker Elliott Hasler about the making of Vindication Swim, a period sports drama inspired by Mercedes Gleitze—the first British woman to swim the English Channel in 1927. Shot over three years entirely in open water, the film demanded extraordinary perseverance from its cast and crew, with lead actor Kirsten Callaghan performing all her own swims and no visual effects or body doubles in sight.Elliott shares how the team navigated unpredictable tides, safety challenges, and a micro-budget while maintaining historical authenticity and cinematic scale. From coordinating small, agile crews to rebuilding the film's entire soundscape in post, Vindication Swim became a testament in indie filmmaking ingenuity. Despite its modest resources, the film went on to play in over 300 cinemas for 18 weeks and break into the UK box office top 20.Elliott reflects on the resilience, creativity, and community spirit that powered the project—and how telling real stories of perseverance mirrors his own journey as a filmmaker. Vindication Swim opens in New York City on October 17, followed by select U.S. screenings and a digital release in November.About WrapbookWrapbook is a smart, intuitive platform that makes production payroll and accounting easier, faster, and more secure.

We sit down once again with Will French from Fallbrook Financial Services, a pioneering figure in film tax credits and global production finance. Will has overseen hundreds of projects and is widely regarded as a thought leader in the intersection of film, policy, and economics. During the last conversation, we laid important groundwork on international incentives, tariffs, and the cost structures shaping production worldwide. This time, the stakes are even higher as the film industry faces an unprecedented policy debate.With President Trump's former announcement of a proposed 100% tariff on all foreign-made films distributed in the U.S., Cameron and Will dive into the legality, feasibility, and far-reaching consequences of such a move. Will explains how tariffs typically function in manufacturing sectors and why film—largely a digital export industry—presents unique enforcement challenges. He walks listeners through the ripple effects tariffs could trigger, from reciprocal taxes by foreign governments to the potential hollowing out of one of America's strongest export industries.The discussion also explores the economic realities driving production overseas, including the rising cost of domestic labor following recent guild strikes and the powerful pull of international tax incentives. Will highlights the vulnerabilities of the U.S. model and sketches out a potential path forward—arguing for a federal incentive program that could complement state-level tax credits and help retain production jobs at home. By comparing U.S. policy gaps with systems in Canada and Australia, he demonstrates what a practical, enforceable approach might look like.This is a conversation about more than just tariffs. It's about the future of American filmmaking, cultural export, and the global chessboard of film finance. Join us for an insightful, nonpartisan discussion that pulls back the curtain on how policy decisions made in Washington could reverberate through studios, streaming platforms, and sets across the world.About WrapbookWrapbook is a smart, intuitive platform that makes production payroll and accounting easier, faster, and more secure.

We head to Fort Worth, Texas—a city that's quickly becoming a key player in the film world. We sit down with Taylor Hardy, Commissioner at the Fort Worth Film Commission and Director of Video Content at Visit Fort Worth, to explore how this once-overlooked city has transformed into a go-to destination for major productions like 1883, Lawmen: Bass Reeves, and even music videos from artists like Kendrick Lamar.Taylor shares how it all started. Back in 2015, Fort Worth didn't even have a film office. Fast forward to today, and it's hosting large-scale productions and attracting top-tier talent. Taylor walks us through that journey—from scouting locations herself as an intern to building a film-friendly culture rooted in community, collaboration, and a can-do attitude.Taylor highlights the city's hands-on approach—from helping with scouting and permits to offering hotel rebates and travel support. She also touches on the city's new training initiative, the Fort Worth Film Collaborative, which helps locals jump into film work by applying existing skills to the production world. With over 200 students already enrolled, it's a clear sign of the city's investment in long-term industry growth.Taylor also breaks down the state's revamped film incentive program and shares how Fort Worth helps productions access these benefits while also offering additional support through local programs and community outreach.Whether you're a producer looking for a new filming location, a filmmaker navigating state incentives, or someone building out a local crew, this episode is a must-listen.About WrapbookWrapbook is a smart, intuitive platform that makes production payroll and accounting easier, faster, and more secure.

We dive into the gritty and electrifying world of independent horror filmmaking with director and producer Joe Begos. Known for his visually arresting style and commitment to practical, in-camera effects, Joe shares the unfiltered story of how he built a career outside the traditional studio system.Joe walks us through his unconventional path, from early childhood fascination with horror to the decision to skip film school and make movies the hard way. He recounts the experience of making his first feature on credit cards and pure hustle to create a film that landed on a major festival stage and launched his career. That same DIY ethos carried through to his next projects, where he refined his skills not just as a director, but as a producer, cinematographer, and even editor, learning every part of the process.Throughout the conversation, Joe opens up about the evolving challenges of staying independent while growing as an artist. From raising money and managing crew to navigating creative control and working within tight budgets, he offers an honest look at what it takes to keep your vision intact in a collaborative—and often unpredictable—industry. He shares how each film pushed him to learn something new, and how embracing limitations often led to his most creative breakthroughs.We also explore Joe's latest film, Jimmy and Stiggs, a deeply personal project built almost entirely in his apartment over four years. What began as a response to the creative paralysis of the pandemic became a full-fledged feature, and now slated for a wide theatrical release through a major new distribution label.
