- Is this show about the guests or the host?
I was one of the crew members who worked on The Zombie Wedding and I was looking forward to his interview with the director, Micah Khan. However the host, Josh tends to monopolize the interview talking about himself and his own filmmaking career. Also there are too many abrupt ad breaks when people are mid-sentence.

United Statesa year ago - Love the show, Only one small complaint.
I love the kind of filmmakers that Josh has on. There are some great low budget filmmakers that offer up some great advice, and insight on the process, while also highlighting some great experiences.

It seem like he’s not interviewing so much as he’s just waiting for a moment for him to start talki... more

The best podcast for punk rock, DIY filmmakers who share a mutual disdain for Pierce Brosnan. -Not Dracula
Apple Podcasts5troy matotUnited States5 years ago - Watch out for this guy!
Josh Stifter is a name to remember. His first two features are amazing. Watch for “The Good Exorcist”, in particular. It is a wonderful look at absurdist cinema. It turns out he is an excellent on-air personality as well and brings out engrossing conversations with other indie filmmakers. If you want to know more about what is happening under the mainstream propaganda cinema world, this podcast is a great place to start.
