Interview: Lloyd Kaufman
Yeah, so we interviewed a LOT more people than just Lloyd Kaufman, and we couldn’t possibly be happier about it. Joining us for the interview (from left to right) are Matt Morris, Lindy Starr, Richard Taylor and Zach Beins. What results can only happen when visiting with denizens of Tromaville.
Just in case you aren’t familiar with Troma films, you probably shouldn’t listen to this interview if you’re offended by jokes about Michael Jackson, Pat Robertson, various projectile body fluids and…oh yeah, plenty of swearing. If you ARE familiar with Troma films, you’ve probably already started listening to the interview half way through this paragraph.
We had a great time talking with everyone and can’t thank everyone enough for taking the time to talk with us!
Interview: Everybody’s Fine director Kirk Jones
I haven’t heard Barry rave about a movie like this in awhile. He’s already seen Everybody’s Fine twice and is planning on taking his whole family to see it when it releases. Obviously, we jumped at the chance to speak with director Kirk Jones when he brought the film to the Starz Denver Film Festival. It was a fun interview and we thank the good folks over at Miramax for the opportunity to talk with Mr. Jones.
SDFF Interview: Beetle Queen Conquers Tokyo director Jessica Oreck
We’ve still got a couple more interviews in the works from the Starz Denver Film Festival. Getting to talk to Jessica Oreck, the writer and director of Beetle Queen Conquers Tokyo, was a real treat. This is a fascinating and beautifully shot film that definitely needs to be seen.
SDFF Interview: Touching Home directors Logan and Noah Miller
The Starz Denver Film Fest interviews just keep coming! This time, Barry had the privelage of talking with Logan and Noah Miller, directors of Touching Home. Barry talks to them about casting Ed Harris as their dad and how they came to make their first feature and even write a book about it. It’s a fascinating listen!
SDFF Interview - Win or Lose: A Summer Camp Story director Louis Lapat
And the hits just keep on coming, kids! This time up, Barry got the chance to talk to Louis Lapat, director of Win or Lose: A Summer Camp Story. One of the things both Barry and I love about the Starz Denver Film Festival is the chance to discover great movies like this. There’s really no other way that we can find these gems and we love talking to the filmmakers because we’re fans of good film and want to get the word out as much as possible!
Also…I had to bleep an f-bomb from Barry for the first time in our podcasting career together.
You can also find more information at the film’s official Facebook page.
SDFF Interview - George Hardy and Michael Paul Stephenson From Best Worst Movie
So far, our interviews at the Starz Denver Film Festival have been the most fun we’ve ever done. This time around, we’re honored to speak with Dr. George Hardy and Micahel Paul Stephenson from Best Worst Movie and Troll 2. I can’t even begin to say what a pleasure this interview was. We had a great time talking with these gentlemen about what it means to be in the worst movie ever made and how they came to embrace it. We hope you have as much fun listening to it as we had recording it.
SDFF Interview - Official Rejection’s Paul Osborne
One of the great things about the Starz Denver Film Festival 2009 isn’t just the great movies. It’s getting to meet the great people behind some of these great movies. On Saturday, Barry and I had the great privelage of talking with the director of Official Rejection, Paul Osborne. The film and interview make for a brutally honest, yet funny look at the festival world and why not getting into one of the big festivals doesn’t necessarily spell failure for your movie.
We’ll have a couple reviews of this up later this week, but Official Rejection is definitely one of the must-see films of SDFF this year. If you aren’t near Denver, don’t fret. The film releases tomorrow on Amazon via a 1-disc and 2-disc release along with being available on Amazon On Demand in the near future. You can also pick up the film’s subject, Ten ‘Till Noon, while you’re there.
SG Interview: JC Hutchins
I had the great privelage of getting to talk with new media author JC Hutchins again last week about his old/new novel, 7th Son: Descent. We talk about the process of bringing his first book to print and some nightmare possibilities of casting the clones. It’s a great chat and I had a great time talking with Hutch!
You can find out about all the different things JC Hutchins has in the fire at his official site.
SG Interview - Peter Rosen
It’s not often that we get to talk with documentary filmmakers. When at the Starz Denver Film Festival last year, Barry had a chance to sit down and talk with Peter Rosen, director of Garrison Keillor: The Man On the Radio In the Red Shoes. It’s a fascinating interview and we’ll be posting Barry’s review of the film shortly. The audio quality isn’t as good as our regular episodes simply because we had to go into a side room of the filmmaker’s lounge.
The reason we’ve held on to the interview is because we wanted to time it with the film’s airing on PBS as part of the American Masters series. It’s currently scheduled to air on July 1st. Check your local listings for air times. Our thanks go to Mr. Rosen for sitting down with us.
Interview: Katee Sackhoff
Sometimes, you just can’t fit everything in at StarFest. Between the already tight schedules at the convention and her delayed flight, it just didn’t quite work out for us to talk with Katee Sackhoff.
Katee was gracious enough to offer to do a phone interview and what resulted was definitely one of the more fun interviews I’ve ever had the pleasure of doing.
We spend time talking about her pilot, Lost & Found, not getting picked up and bounce all over the place from Star Trek to why she doesn’t do Twitter and somehow end up talking about the Swine Flu at the end and better names for it.
Minor disclaimer: The beginning of our conversation is talking about Lost & Found. It’s just where we started up and I totally spaced calling it by its proper name
