The Undercurrent Movie Podcast

"In The Line Of Fire" with David Schutz

"In the Line of Fire" is a tense political thriller about a veteran Secret Service agent (played by Clint Eastwood) haunted by his past failure to protect President John F. Kennedy. When a highly intelligent and obsessive assassin begins targeting the current president, the agent is drawn into a psychological cat-and-mouse game. As the killer taunts him and exploits his guilt, the agent must confront his own demons while racing against time to stop another tragedy. In this episode, I sit down with Dave Schutz, and we discuss his career in law enforcement in the Indianapolis Police Department, FBI, and current job in Executive Protection Detail. This episode is a bit different in a good way. We talk about how no one truly gets comfortable as a “Bullet Catcher”, how his career has changed some of his views on culture and politics, and how a routine traffic stop changed his view of certain people. Many things we discuss can be found in his book called, “And They Give Us Guns”. Many parts of the movie made the hairs stand up on Daves neck as they hit a bit too close to home. This movie is and action thriller that forces you to ask yourself the question, could I actually catch a bullet for someone else. I hope you enjoy.    https://us.amazon.com/THEY-GIVE-GUNS-progressive-policing/dp/B0BRM569HNr [https://us.amazon.com/THEY-GIVE-GUNS-progressive-policing/dp/B0BRM569HNr]

"Anaconda" with Adison Wolfe

Anaconda is a modern reimagining of the classic jungle thriller, following a group of travelers drawn into the Amazon by a sense of nostalgia and adventure. What begins as a throwback-inspired journey quickly turns into a fight for survival when they become the target of a massive, deadly anaconda, forcing them to confront both the dangers of the wild and the illusion of the past they were chasing. As they chase their dream a huge snake chases them.  This movie was surprisingly fun and took me on a trip down memory lane to the 90s. In this episode I sit down with Adison Wolf and we discuss where we were in the 90s and early 2000s and talk about some of the our passions we had as kids growing up. The question I have for you is, what was a passion you had as a kid and would you attempt to chase dream again today? I hope you enjoy.

"Children of Men" with Vitaliy Prokopets

"Children of Men" is a gripping dystopian thriller set in a near-future world where humanity faces extinction after two decades of global infertility. Society has collapsed into chaos, and governments have turned authoritarian in a desperate attempt to maintain order. The story follows Theo played by Clive Owen, a disillusioned former activist, who is unexpectedly tasked with protecting a miraculously pregnant woman—the first in years. As they journey through a dangerous and unstable world, Theo must rediscover hope and courage in a time when both seem lost. In this episode I sit down with Vitaliy Prokopets and we talk about life and family and Hope. I hope you enjoy.

"Back Into The Matrix" with Harold Bain

Welcome back to the undercurrent movie podcast season three. Now I’m Had kicking this season off by doing something a bit different this time. I’m going back to a movie that I’ve already covered but not for the reason that you think. In this episode, we are jumping back into the matrix but we’re not doing this to cover what we’ve already know. we’re actually going back in to find a completely different perspective than mine.  I welcome Harold Bain onto this episode because of his interest in movies and because of his completely different perspective on this specific movie.  This episode was a lot of fun. We smoked cigars, drank a little whiskey and made a lot of jokes. We talked about politics, faith our past and how this movie changed the both of us, but from completely different viewpoints. this podcast is not only to share my viewpoint, but to hear someone else’s story.  if you have not seen the matrix yet I don’t know what to tell you, but you’re missing one of the greatest movies that has ever been made. This movie came out in 1999 and has truly stood the test of time. I hope you enjoy our time together.

"Collateral Beauty" with Nate Landis

Collateral Beauty (2016) is a drama about a successful New York advertising executive, Howard Inlet, who falls into deep depression after the tragic loss of his young daughter. As he withdraws from life, his friends and his work, he begins writing letters to Love, Time, and Death—abstract concepts he blames for his pain. Concerned for both him and the company, his friends devise an unusual plan that leads to unexpected encounters. Through these experiences, Howard is confronted with grief, healing, and the hidden connections that bind people together in the midst of loss. This movie reaches emotional depths most people don’t want to talk about and has a few twists along the way. The question I have for you is, if given the opportunity to talk to Love, Time and Death what would you say? In grief, would you accept their advice or would you ignore them altogether.
