Let's Talk About... Getting Older

After 3 seasons and 34 episodes, my best friends Chanel and Eden join me on the final episode of The Goatcheese Podcast to talk all about us getting older. We talk about where we currently are in life, ideal jobs we’d love to have, the current state of affairs in the U.S., goals we now have as 40 year olds, and gripe about our bodies no longer being as spry as they used to be. We also get real about our mental health and mortality, list things we like to do to decompress, and l do something I’ve wanted to do for almost 30 years: I get Chanel to curse (in Spanish)! And finally, I contemplate just how much I’ve enjoyed doing this podcast and what it’s meant to me. Enjoy!

Let's Talk About... Why We Love Movies

One of my best friends, Steven, joins me this week to talk about why we love movies. We talk about our early movie watching experiences at both the movie theater and at home and how different those experiences were in the early ‘90s, Disney’s insistence of scarring children with the death of parental figures in their movies, and movies so bad that they’re good. We also delve into remakes and sequels, “flavor of the week” celebrities being cast in movie roles, the subjectivity of enjoying movies, movie theater etiquette, the almost lost art of movies, some of our favorite movies of all time, and, ultimately, just exactly what movies mean to us both individually. Enjoy!

Let's Talk About... Action Movies

On this week's episode, my friend William and I talk all about action movies. We discuss the rules of action films, delve into specific sub genres such as action comedies and action horror, and compare the movies of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone. We also talk about the intricacies of movies like The Raid, John Wick and The Terminator franchise, dig into action movies and action stars from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s such as Demolition Man, The Warriors, Rambo, True Lies, Rush Hour, Crank, Jackie Chan, and Jean Claude Van Damme (specifically his two year stretch of movies from 1993 to 1995), we list off our favorite action movies, and we debate endlessly over whether Speed can really be considered an action movie or not. Enjoy!

Let's Talk About... Filmmaking

On this week's episode, my really good friend and producing partner, Relisa, joins me to talk all about filmmaking. We discuss our beginnings and how we met, when we first decided we wanted to make movies, and things we like and dislike about the filmmaking process. We also talk about our individual creative processes including where we draw our inspiration and ideas from, and we share some on-set stories. Enjoy!

Let's Talk About... Batman

This week, my cousin-in-law Chris joins me to talk all about Batman. We discuss the different iterations of Batman media including the animated TV series, the Gotham TV show, and the Burton, Schumacher, and Nolan movies. We also rank our favorite Batman movies, list off our favorite villains from the Rogue’s Gallery (not surprisingly, the Joker makes both of our lists), and we talk about our favorite portrayals including Kevin Conroy, Val Kilmer, and Christian Bale. Enjoy!
