Episode 97: Stuart Gordon
October 21, 2015 19:54 - 2 hours - 101 MBMy final horror-centric director episode of the month features a familiar voice indeed. Gabe Powers returns in anticipation of his upcoming appearence with Patrick for the Halloween Horror Show due out in the next week or so. (Most likely a two-parter). I recruited Gabe to talk about a very creative and fascinating figure in horror, one Mr. Stuart Gordon. We dissect everything from RE-ANIMATOR to STUCK. We try not to leave any headstone unturned when it comes to a very eclectic filmogra...

Pop Culture Club: Memoryhouse
October 13, 2015 02:12 - 27 minutes - 25.8 MBSo this is a big deal for me. I discovered Memoryhouse after discovering composer Max Richter three years ago. I was living in Chicago and bought a record called The Slideshow Effect, and was immediately smitten with their sound. I played it for my roommate and told her that, "This is more than my jam, this is everything I love about music." You can imagine my excitement when I was able to get a hold of them since I was curious about what they've been up to and how they've come to be the ba...
Episode 96: Tobe Hooper
October 04, 2015 22:33 - 2 hours - 95.3 MBDaniel Baldwin was on last year for an episode on the late, great Wes Craven. This time he returns to talk about another "master of horror" by the name of Tobe Hooper. To his credit, he's made one masterpiece worth praising a little bit more, but we mainly focus on the rest of his filmography. We touch on everything from EGGSHELLS to TOOLBOX MURDERS, but the bulk of the discussion is on the middle of his career including EATEN ALIVE, LIFEFORCE, INVADERS FROM MARS, and more! There's also a ...
Bonus Episode: What Patrick Watched + Announcements
September 23, 2015 20:30 - 1 hour - 83.2 MBI sneakily convinced Patrick to appear on a bonus episode by intrusively calling him up in the middle of the night -- in which we do a brief "what we watched" segment and more. First and foremost, a couple of announcements are in order at the top including Patrick's Horror Show Spectacular for next month which we want YOU to contribute to. Here is the link for more info: http://bit.ly/dchorror1 Of course, I briefly tease about the future of the show including a possible podcast network, ...
Pop Culture Club: Rachel Grimes Interview
September 16, 2015 18:09 - 53 minutes - 49.9 MBExpressing love for music is often very difficult to put into words. And some of the most powerful songs that have changed my life may not even have lyrics. Rachel Grimes is responsible for many of these songs, being a "key" player in one of my all-time favorite bands, The Rachel's. They also recorded my favorite instrumental of all time, featured on one of my top ten favorite records, Music For Egon Schiele. So you can say that yes, I am quite the fan of her work. Rachel's latest reco...
Episode 95: Paul Schrader
September 14, 2015 00:29 - 2 hours - 102 MBBill Ackerman returns to talk about the underrated Paul Schrader who most folks cite as the screenwriter of such films as TAXI DRIVER & RAGING BULL. Maybe one day down the road, we'll do a writer's club episode on him, but for now, we're focusing on several of his overlooked films as a director starting with the brilliant BLUE COLLAR and ending with the debacle DYING OF THE LIGHT. Throughout the conversation, a defense of Lindsay Lohan comes up as well as lots of love for DaFoe and Schrade...
Pop Culture Club: Musical Smörgåsbord + Interviews!
September 08, 2015 01:03 - 1 hour - 60.1 MBHappy Labor Day weekend! Here's a special surprise. To close out a productive day off, I put together a hodgepodge of treats for you including an interview with the head of the Department of Parks and Recreation (you'll have to listen to know why). I also expound on my love for the 365 Day Project from way back in the day as well as present some weird audio nuggets uncovered! To top it all off, at the end, I have a special interview with two members of the band New Pornographers - AC Newm...
Episode 94: David Wain
September 03, 2015 04:02 - 2 hours - 87.8 MBCanadian podcaster Corey Pierce joins me to deconstruct the art of comedy by not only focusing on the films of director David Wain, but by going down a list of our favorite lowbrow comedies. We digress a bit here and there, but overall, I just wanted to do an entire episode devoted to the comedy genre and "state" my case for why WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER is my favorite comedy. Other hot topics include metal music, Tim & Eric, the recent Netflix prequel of WET HOT, and a whole lot more. Surpr...
Bonus Episode: Alex Ross Perry Interview
August 27, 2015 12:40 - 31 minutes - 22.9 MBHard to know how to review QUEEN OF EARTH myself without rambling on and on (what a shock) but at least I got to spend 15 minutes with the filmmaker to get a better sense of what he was going for. Suffice to say, I am fairly certain I loved the movie despite wrestling with it overall. Director Alex Ross Perry, whom we just did an entire episode on not too long ago, was kind enough to spend 15 minutes with me over the phone to talk about his latest film and his process. Couldn't be more exc...
Episode 93: Steven Soderbergh Part 2
August 19, 2015 21:17 - 3 hours - 135 MBThe great Kurt Halfyard and Andrew James of the RowThree Cinecast return for another wonderful and lengthy sequel episode on one of our favorite filmmakers / Renaissance man Steven Soderbergh. This time we try to focus on the latter part of his career starting with THE LIMEY and going forwards from there. There were some technical difficulties on my end due to some nasty weather and I had a bad headache, but I couldn't be happier with this episode thanks to my smart, articulate, and well-m...
Episode 93: Steven Soderbergh Part II
August 19, 2015 21:17 - 3 hours - 135 MBThe great Kurt Halfyard and Andrew James of the RowThree Cinecast return for another wonderful and lengthy sequel episode on one of our favorite filmmakers / Renaissance man Steven Soderbergh. This time we try to focus on the latter part of his career starting with THE LIMEY and going forwards from there. There were some technical difficulties on my end due to some nasty weather and I had a bad headache, but I couldn't be happier with this episode thanks to my smart, articulate, and well-m...
Pop Culture Club: Alan Sparhawk of Low
August 15, 2015 03:12 - 38 minutes - 35.7 MBOne of my all-time favorite bands is Low. They've been around for over 20 years, and I first heard them back in 2001 for the record Things We Lost In The Fire. Now they are about to release their 11th full-length record next month entitled Ones & Sixes, and I couldn't be more excited to hear it based on the first two singles. I play a sample of the first single, and end the show with the second single as well as a couple of snippets of two of my favorite Low songs. But most importantly...
Bonus Episode: Patrick Rewatches & Reconsiders 5 Movies
August 04, 2015 11:21 - 2 hours - 148 MBPatrick fulfills yet another promise to a Kickstarter contributor, and a familar one at that. Mr. Bill Ackerman asked Patrick to reconsider some movies from past episodes that he claims to have disliked in the past. Will a rewatch help in any way? Patrick embarks on a very long conversation about such films as CRASH, PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK, HENRY FOOL, TWIN PEAKS: FIREWALK WITH ME, and more! It's great to hear his voice again and thanks again to Bill Ackerman for contributing to Patrick's ...
Episode 92: Alex Ross Perry
July 20, 2015 00:56 - 2 hours - 89.4 MBIt wasn't easy filling an entire episode with a filmmaker whom we've only gotten to see two movies from thus far. But that didn't stop my enthusiasm to talk about Alex Ross Perry with someone that is light years smarter than I was at his age. 18-year-old filmmaker Ben Medina joins me to talk Perry. We also delve into the many films and directors that have inspired Ben, what movies mean to him, as well as discuss some recent entries into the contemporary indie film genre such WHILE WE'RE ...
Bonus Episode: 1985 Review & Back To The Future
July 11, 2015 04:09 - 1 hour - 71 MB1985 celebrates my 30th anniversary as a movie freak. BACK TO THE FUTURE was the movie I saw when I was seven years old that pretty much changed my life forever. It got me hooked on going to the movies and seeing as many movies as I could. In honor of its release in July of 1985, I enlisted the help of two Chicago critics and friends Erik Childress and Collin Souter to not only talk about their earliest memories of seeing BACK TO THE FUTURE, but to look back at the year 1985 since it was p...
Pop Culture Club: Matthew Sweet Interview
June 28, 2015 20:37 - 54 minutes - 50.1 MBI've had some wonderful guests in the past, but this one is particularly near and dear to me for reasons which I cover in this episode. Power pop legend Matthew Sweet talks with me about a number of things including what it's like to hang out with Brian Wilson, the early days of MTV and record labels, what's in store for the future, and more! There's certainly a lot of talk about in regards to his many records but I did steer the conversation towards Girlfriend, Altered Beast and In Reverse...
Bonus Episode: The Master, Joe Vs. The Volcano, Why We Watch & Rewatch Movies
June 22, 2015 03:08 - 2 hours - 103 MBMe and Patrick tackle the big questions regarding why we bother to talk about movies at all and slip into a little processing of our own about the nature of movie-viewing and the importance of the "rewatch." But for the majority of the episode, we parse the idea of movies that can potentially grow on you over time. My choices for discussion were THE MASTER and JOE VS. THE VOLCANO, two oddities that couldn't be more different from one another, that I didn't love until I saw them a second ti...
Episode 91: David Cronenberg Part 2
June 16, 2015 03:54 - 2 hours - 95.6 MBDirector's Club as you know it is back, kind of. As indicated in the recently posted Pop Culture Club debut, I mentioned that every now and again, directors will still be focused on from time to time. I decided to put a couple of sequel episodes on the schedule for the summer to make it easier on myself, and to follow through on a couple of promises I made. Friend to the show Bill Ackerman and I are both huge fans of David Cronenberg, and as much as I enjoyed our first episode on DC, I k...
Pop Culture Club: Weird Al, Torres, Tu Dors Nicole & more!
May 31, 2015 13:01 - 1 hour - 63.9 MBI'm sure you are very confused right about now, but don't fret. Director's Club isn't going away, just becoming sporadic. Patrick will be back with another bonus episode soon enough too. As for me, I'm occassionally going to put out shorter episodes akin to the one you're about to hear, that will go under the moniker "Pop Culture Club." This is a trial run (or episode 1 if you prefer) in which I interview my friend Marissa about UHF, talk with an aspiring documentarian named Clay, play s...

Episode 90: Jim & Patrick's Greatest Hits
April 27, 2015 04:18 - 1 hour - 101 MBHello friends, Jim here. Welcome to Clip Show Redux. Well yes, this was technically supposed to be a part of episode 100 -- much like the last episode we did on favorite movies -- but that's okay since numbers don't really matter, right? Besides we've surpassed episode 100 if we counted the bonus episodes, remember? Basically, a couple of emailers suggested another crack at this, and I was up to the task at hand despite it consuming up an entire day. It was worth it. Thanks to Caleb an...
A Very Special Episode - 50 Favorite Movies Part 2
April 10, 2015 04:32 - 3 hours - 125 MBIs this it? Is this the end of Director’s Club? That’s the question on everybody’s mind, and we sorta answer it right at the top. The show could be going away for awhile, but maybe not. Or maybe it’ll change into something else. Maybe Jim invented a time machine and is going back to 1985 to go see Back To The Future with him and his dad again! Regardless, Patrick is taking a well-deserved break from the Internet and podcasting. He may return in the future, and Jim may continue to keep...

Bonus Episode: The Big Bad Music Show
February 26, 2015 14:07 - 1 hour - 102 MBBy popular demand, Jim and Patrick are back with a bonus episode full of music talk. Jim just released a new album, Patrick's working on one, and they both relate their stories of growing as songwriters, learning to sing, the recording process, their taste in music, and much much more. In this case, much much more mostly just means "they talk about a shitload of music from the 90's". But if you were ever curious about what Jim and Patrick's music sounded like, look no further. If you defin...

I fly solo and return to talk about what I've been through lately, both the good and the bad including the reasons for my absence.
