  • This show WAS the best podcast.

    For years I loved this podcast and everyone in it. It’s been a while since this is just not the case anymore. Silly, antagonist, woke, unfunny, the lethal cunning is gone.

Vendrak The Vertical, Scáthach, And The Kamino Kid (ft. guests Benny Safdie, Malcolm McDowell, Harris Dickinson)
Q: What was your experience in Cannes with the world premiere?
It was probably the most nervous I've ever been for something to share the film that you've made so personally is a weird thing. Very vulnerable. It went well. People got behind it. The room was warm.

Q: Did you recognize yourself in any of the characters?
I saw a piece of myself in many of the characters.
