Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP. 1724: Filmmaker Ari Grubb (ANADROMOUS)
Q: How did the production shape the storytelling, especially the stop-motion approach?
The filmmaker discusses building physical puppets and sets, shooting on 16-millimeter film for the opening, and integrating 2D animation and green-screen work in post to create a tactile, intimate aesthetic that underscores themes of migration and transformation.
EP. 1724: Filmmaker Ari Grubb (ANADROMOUS)
Q: What inspired the title and symbolism of the film?
The title refers to a fish that migrates from freshwater to seawater, serving as a metaphor for evolving identity, particularly in the context of coming out and finding a new community; the film uses this biology as a lens to explore personal growth and liberation from an oppressive environment.
EP. 1721: Filmmaker/Journalist Siamak Dehghanpour (EXPOSED)
Q: Okay, with the director and writer of the movie EXPOSED, can you say your name?
Siamak Dehghanpour introduces himself and discusses EXPOSED's premise and how it mirrors real-world political tension while remaining universal and character-driven.
EP. 1722: Filmmaker Keshav Srinivasan (THE FLESH PEOPLE)
Q: Is it a horror first, and then a comedy, or is it a comedy first?
Keshav explains he initially wrote it as a horror, but the edit revealed the film leans more into comedy with underlying horror, and now he views it as comedy first with horror elements.
EP. 1715: Novelist Lisa Hill-Corley (TRIBUTE)
Q: How does her background in theater influence her writing?
She describes theater as a catalyst for narrative discipline, noting that writing is solitary but theater teaches how audiences react in real time, which informs her approach to pacing and dialogue.
