A Hard Day's Night (1964) - with author Kristin Massey

Greetings! In this week's  episode, we’re diving into A Hard Day’s Night (1964)—the film that captured Beatlemania at full throttle and quietly changed the language of movies, music, and pop culture. And joining us this time around is Kristin Massey author of The J.O.A.T. Life Lessons from a Jill of All Trades. I'm super excited to share this conversation with Kristin. She is a multitalented creative with an exciting story. First up, she toured the nation as a recording artist with her band, Red Siren (All Is Forgiven; Mercury/Polygram).   [https://redsirenband.com/]She has since leveraged her vocal talents to become a successful voice-over artist for Fortune 500 companies such as FedEx, Sysco, and VISA. Oh! She also makes a mean cocktail too.

Josie and the Pussycats (2001) - with Edward Miskie

Greetings! In this week's episode we discuss Josie and the Pussycats, the neon-soaked, bubblegum pop comedy that crashed at the box office.  At first glance, Josie and the Pussycats is a teen movie about a girl band hitting it big. But underneath it's an absolutely brilliant, razor-sharp satire about consumer culture, corporate control, and the way music (and identity) gets sold to us. And walking us through it (between some hilariously astute takes on Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut) is Edward Miskie (writer/producer/sometimes performer). Edward is also the founder of The Remission Film Festival, which premiers for the first time April 17th, 2026. This festival focuses on creators who shed light on the experience of life before, during, & after cancer.  This is an episode you must hear.  * Josie and the Pussycats links * https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0236348/ [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0236348/] * https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/josie_and_the_pussycats [https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/josie_and_the_pussycats] * Edward Miskie links * https://www.remissionfilmfest.com/main [https://www.remissionfilmfest.com/main] * https://www.edwardmiskie.com [https://www.edwardmiskie.com] * Stamper Cinema links * https://www.stampercinema.com [https://www.stampercinema.com] * Want to be a guest on Stamper Cinema?

Caddyshack (1980) - with podcaster Kirsten Rudberg

Greeting! In this week's Stamper Cinema, we tee up one of the most chaotic, quotable, and beloved comedies of the 1980s—Caddyshack. Returning the podcast to talk about it is podcaster extraordinaire and all-around amazing human, Kirsten Rudberg (Byte Sized Blessings)!  Directed by Harold Ramis, this golf-course-set comedy throws structure out the window and replaces it with Bill Murray’s improvised monologues, Rodney Dangerfield’s relentless insults, Chevy Chase’s effortless cool, and a gopher with a serious attitude problem. Set at the prestigious Bushwood Country Club, Caddyshack explores class conflict (slob vs snob), rebellion, and absurdity through a loose collection of characters who all seem to be in different movies and somehow create magic together. Despite mixed reviews upon release, Caddyshack became a massive hit and a cornerstone of American comedy, influencing generations of comedians and earning its place as one of the most quoted films ever made. In this episode, Kirsten and I dive into behind-the-scenes madness, unforgettable performances, iconic lines, and the strange alchemy that turned a barely-scripted production into a cult classic. Plus - Kirsten gives the gopher the respect it deserves.
