Podcast appearances and mentions of zack galifianakis

Up In The Air, boring or not, is this week's question. Why do I find this movie interesting, and why does Valerie find it boring? Could the answer lie in Ryan Bingam's character arc (and does he have one)? Could it lie in the small amount of exposition? Or could it be that George Clooney movies are boring? One thing is certain: this episode is the opposite of boring. -M"Is this story interesting, entertaining and worthwhile if the protagonist doesn't have an internal worldview shift?" -Melanie HillRelated Story Nerd Episodes:The Social Network: Season 12, Episode 1 I, Tonya: Season 12, Episode 3Gone Baby, Gone: Season 12, Episode 6 For access to writing templates and worksheets, and more than 70 hours of training (all for free), subscribe to Valerie's Inner Circle.To learn to read like a writer, visit Melanie's website.Follow Valerie on X, Instagram and Threads @valerie_francisFollow Melanie on X, Instagram and Facebook @MelanieHillAuthor

Barbenheimer week is behind us, but they're still making movies. We have three new ones, none of which are as interesting as either Barbenheimer movie, or the whole phenomenon. We do talk about the Disney family horror film "Haunted Mansion," as well as the Australian scary movie "Talk to Me" and the Zack Galifianakis-without-a-beard movie "The Beanie Bubble." Timestamps: 13:22: "Haunted Mansion" 41:23 "Talk to Me" 58:59 "The Beanie Bubble" Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy. Let us know what you think @griersonleitch on Twitter, or griersonleitch@gmail.com. As always, give us a review on iTunes with the name of a movie you'd like us to review, and we'll discuss it on a later podcast.

I'm texting back and forth with my oldest friend Jeff when he says, “We saw a clip yesterday of The Blob. Do you remember us watching that as kids?”  Boy, do I! Just the mere mention of the title and all of these emotions come flooding back. I was around 11 when I saw that movie, and it was so terrifying that it has stuck with me to this day. Why can I remember that movie so vividly? I can remember the pictures, what I felt, and even exactly where I was sitting (or hiding) when I watched it.  The ability to tell a story that evokes such strong emotions is what makes your story memorable. And my guest today is incredibly skilled at doing just that. Gus Krieger writes, produces, and directs and is here to talk about all the things! What should you not do when describing moments or characters? What do a street vendor and Luke Skywalker have in common? Why do stories have the ability to drive others to action, both small and grand? In this episode, Gus and I discuss and answer these questions, his technique for battling the “blank page blues”, and much more! What you will learn in this episode: How to dramatize true life experience in storytelling How to know if your protagonist is relatable to your audience What insultingly common mistake new storytellers must avoid Who is Gus? Gus Krieger is a producer, director, screenplay writer, and author. His first original screenplay production The Killing Room stars Academy Award winner Timothy Hutton and nominee Chloe Sevigny. Directed by Jonathan Liebesman (Halo, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), it premiered in 2009 at the Sundance Film Festival. Gus also wrote and directed the horror short “Ol' Stan Levid” which premiered at the TCL Chinese Theatre for Screamfest. He also carried out rewrites on the feature film Operation Endgame which stars Bob Odenkirk and Zack Galifianakis. He went on to write, produce, and direct The Binding, a feature thriller starring Amy Gumenick (Arrow), Max Adler (Glee, Sully), and Leon Russom (True Grit, The Big Lebowski). My Name is Myeisha, Gus' sophomore feature film, received worldwide acclaim and took home Slamdance, Seattle, and Boston Underground awards, among others. Warner Bros. Entertainment plans to adapt his debut novel Superworld into a feature film directed by Jason Bateman.

Remember the teen comedy, Out Cold? David's teen choice this week is the 2001 snowboarding flick starring Jason London, the late Willie Garson and Zack Galifianakis. A parody of Casablanca, this teen movie has an eight percent on Rotten Tomatoes, a killer soundtrack and castmates that include Lee Daniels, David Koechner, Thomas Lennon and Victoria Silverstedt. In the likes of movies from the early 2000s, it's humor is reminiscent of American Pie and EuroTrip but doesn't quite hold up. Join us as we discuss Zack Galifianakis black out scenes, why Victoria Silvstedt is in this movie and why we love the soundtrack.

Two of the absolute icons of 1994 are featured in this legendary forty-seventh episode of It Happened One Year! Tonya Harding's ex-husband Jeff Gillooly and Nicole Simpson's ex-house guest Kato Kaelin had lives of varying success and public interest prior to the events of '94, but afterward they would become household names forever, and for very different reasons. The tribulations of the Gillooly/Harding union are explored, up to and including The Crime of the First Half of the Year, followed by as much as could be unearthed about Gillooly (now Jeff Stone) ever since. The exact circumstances that led Kato to be in O.J.'s guest house on that fateful night are also broken down, plus his acting and celebrity careers before and after. Along the way, Sarah & Joe throw love to Gillooly's favorite Nevada diner, Kato's amazing Cameo performances, the on-field skills of the Milwaukee Brewers in recent years, Sarah's ever-evolving feelings toward Tonya, Kaelin co-stars Robert Downey Jr., Zach Galligan, Malcolm McDowell, Samuel L. Jackson, and Zack Galifianakis, and Gillooly's dynamite sense of humor.

It's practically summer, so it's time (or it's too late) to start your yard work! In anti-celebration of that, the Film School Janitors decided to mix a couple plant-based reviews into one. They took a break (or didn't start at all) and watched NETFLIX'S BETWEEN TWO FERNS: THE MOVIE AND NETFLIX'S IN THE TALL GRASS. BETWEEN TWO FERNS is a filmic version of the Zack Galifianakis shorts, à la WAYNE'S WORLD's adaptation; IN THE TALL GRASS is based on a novella by Stephen King and his son, Joe Hill. How well does this bleach and ammonia mix? Check out the podcast in a room with open doors and windows and find out!

If you're going to tell cool stories in comic books, it helps to have had a colorful life and interesting friends. Dean Haspiel has had both. His dad was a writer, occasional street vigilante and confidante of Marilyn Monroe. Mom's pals included Shelly Winters and the young Bobby De Niro, who was one of Dean's babysitters. Dean worked with Harvey Pekar and Jonathan Ames on their respective graphic novels, and won an Emmy for his title work on Jonathan's HBO sitcom "Bored to Death." He was also the inspiration for Ray the cartoonist, played on BTD by Zack Galifianakis. We talked about all of the above, plus Dean's beginnings as a comic artist, his love of superheroes and his own hero complex, his residencies at the Yaddo artist colony, and his latest comic memoir, "Beef with Tomato."

"I was an obscure novelist and then I was given the keys to this production, and I had to learn on the spot.” And learn he did, helming HBO's "Bored to Death" for three hilarious seasons and now "Blunt Talk" on Starz. Jonathan Ames describes the delights and terrors of television auteur-dom, the dubious distinction of being TV's first showrunner to go Full Monty, being manhandled by Zack Galifianakis, his friendship with Jason Schwartzman, the comedic excellence of Patrick Stewart and more, while making decorous use of euphemism.

On this week's show, we're joined by Adam's wife, Dawn, to talk about the winners and the nominations from this past week's Emmy Awards.
