Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Exit to Eden with Teigan Reamsbottom
Q: What drew you to Exit To Eden as a talking point for this episode?
The film is a quintessential example of camp cinema from the 90s, featuring Rosie O'Donnell and Dan Aykroyd in a surprisingly gonzo premise, which makes for rich discussion about production quirks, cultural memory, and the way audiences today rediscover old media through clips.
Exit to Eden with Teigan Reamsbottom
Q: Tell me about your podcast Hello Campers and how it fits into your curatorial work.
Hello Campers is a way for Teigan to introduce himself behind the Instagram and TikTok clips he curates, exploring clips from British, American, and global pop culture in a format that blends storytelling with archival exploration.
Yona Speidel’s Most Jewish Madonna Songs
Q: Tell me your first introduction to Madonna and when you became a super fan moment.
Yona describes growing up with Madonna in a limited community, where videos and performances formed early memories, with a sense of danger and excitement around her work and imagery, marking a long, evolving appreciation rather than a single moment.
A Chat with Filmmaker Chandler Levack
Q: And can you talk a little bit about how it came to happen?
Chandler discusses the shift from initial plans to finance, the role of Blockbuster inspiration, and eventually aligning with Talent to Watch and other producers to realize the project.
A Chat with Filmmaker Chandler Levack
Q: Can you tell me a little bit about Mile End Kicks and the origin of it and how long you've been working on this labor of love?
