OH, The Horror!
Feb 401:13:24Tap to summarizeOutside of Philadelphia, PA, down the street where "The Lovely Bones" was filmed, we visit the home of film programmer, Nick Lombardo and his wife Nikki, both mega horror fans and collectors. Our friend Shaun Casper, designer/illustrator and sfx makeup artist, joins Nick and our host, Matt for a deep dive discussion on the Horror genre. They discuss the psychology of the films, the stigma that is slowly dissolving, and the beauty in the outcasts connecting through the craft and nostalgia. Why are these films so loved? Why do people enjoy being scared? Will the devil actually attack you through the screen? Everything is back on the table for these three as they nerd out on this episode.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mamdani Takes Manhattan
Jan 1401:06:11Tap to summarizeThe 2025 elections delivered some surprising results, illustrating the change that Americans are craving...even in areas that were otherwise galvanized in the political stronghold. Upsets and some firsts were made in Virginia, Georgia, New Jersey, Michigan, and of course, New York City. Zohran Mamdani, a Muslim, Democratic Socialist, at the height of the Israel-Palestine conflict, garnered support from New Yorkers of all types. Not just the typical young liberals...but the Jewish vote, the Muslim vote, the Christian vote, old, young, and everything between. What do his policies look like and how will they affect New Yorkers? We interview Cory Choy of Silver Sound Studio NYC to share his real life experiences. And, we take to the streets for some classic man-on-the-street interviews, to get more opinions from his constituency.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A Raw, Authentic & Vulnerable Conversation on Masculinity
Dec 1701:23:42Tap to summarizeIn the modern era of mansplainers, super alphas and groypers, true men are being overshadowed by toxic masculinity. Matt brings in three guests; a former US Army Drill Sergeant, a former NHL player and a "guy's guy" or ladies man; for a raw, authentic and vulnerable conversation on masculinity what it means to be a man. The only heavy weights lifted are emotional ones. The only thing chugged is a pill of self awareness. What's the difference between a boss and a leader? What's healthier, the stoic or the active listener? And because it's discussed in the balance of polarity, this episode is for men and women alike. They flex those sexy brain muscles with this discussion.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Don't Cancel Me, Bro!
Jun 7, 2023Tap to summarizeA frustrating topic leads to a heated debate: Cancel Culture. What does it look like? Does it really exist or is it a facade? The Right and the Left clash over what's considered canceled and what's simply the public using their voices to hold the powerful accountable. Do corporations actually have a moral cause or are they doing a consumer risk assessment by un-backing celebrities and/or brands who have scandal attached to them? Is pulling up a 10-year-old social media post a relevant measure of someone's character? Should we boycott or cancel anyone in the first place? What does it do to us as a society when we play judge, jury, and executioner so flippantly? With Musician Spotlight on Red Rose Panic from Akron, Ohio.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
