Through small world happenstance, I’ve come to know hosts Mike Osborn and Curtis Menke of the irreverent and laugh-filled podcast “Let’s Talk About Flix.” They are appointment weekly laughs for me and pod I support on Patreon. Mike and Curtis have become two full members of the Chicago Indie Critics group that I co-direct. I was honored to be asked on as the return guest during their “Patreon Picks” month. For that guest’s choice theme, I brought them 2013’s The Way Way Back. Enjoy our chat! Follow their show on podcast platforms and YouTube!

Read MoreThrough small world happenstance, I’ve come to know hosts Mike Osborn and Curtis Menke of the irreverent and laugh-filled podcast “Let’s Talk About Flix.” They are two college classmates split across Illinois, and I was introduced to them through a high school classmate of mine, who is cousins with Menke. I caught on to them early in their run, and they have been appointment listening ever since. On the side, I recruited them to join the Chicago Indie Critics group that I co-direct. I was honored to be asked on as their first-ever guest for their “guilty pleasures” month. For that excellent theme, I brought them 1997’s Anaconda.

Their format is very arduous and unique. They break down a Marvel film one minute at a time. You would think only talking about a single minute would be easy or not generate much talk, but, I assure you it’s the opposite. Will and I recorded a week’s worth of five shows covering the 16th-20th minutes of Captain America: The First Avenger. Enjoy these wonderful conversations all week!

Read MoreThis week, I was invited for a very different selection show with the Feelin’ Film Podcast compared to our legendary movie drafts. Fellow awards-voting critic member Aaron White floated me the idea to experiment with legacy and memory to re-vote on previous Oscars, starting with the films of 2016 from five years ago. To be a tiebreaker, we are joined by Tomatometer-approved critic Kevin Brackett of the Reel Spoilers Podcast to fight for the likes of Moonlight, La La Land, Fences, Arrival, Hell or High Water, Jackie, A Monster Calls, Your Name. and more.
