  • Schmearing the competition

    Schmear has a natural podcasting voice. That plus his knowledge of cinema equals an incredible new film podcast. I hope he keeps Schmearing, as it's only a matter of time until the show blows up.

Alex Russell cites 'The Social Network' as his no-notes perfect movie, discussing its influence on themes found in 'Lurker'.
89 - 'F1' with Iana Murray
Q: Were fans like yourself and others being like, hey, this is going to be pretty cool? Or were you like, get this shit out of here?
There was a lot of trepidation, just concerns about perhaps maybe the accuracy and how Formula One was going to be represented.
89 - 'F1' with Iana Murray
Q: What do you love about this sport before we get into the movie?
I got properly invested in Drive to Survive, which is probably like a dirty term at this point. The movie sort of addresses this, where there's a character who thinks he's with it because he watched Drive to Survive. The joke is he's absolutely not.
