If we know anything after almost 20 years of podcasting, it’s that people love hearing “production meetings on the air”! If that’s true, then what a show we have for you, with not one, but THREE production meetings – two of genuinely hilarious varieties and the third pertaining to movies like Backrooms, Exit 8, Universal Language and the television series “Severance”. In between those meetings, Dean and Phil share the thoughts of a loyal listener and roll up their sleeves to roast almost everybody involved in the “will they or won’t they” Paramount/Skydance merger with Warner Bros. Discovery. The glory of the once great Paramount Pictures gets re-visited using the all-time Hollywood classic Sunset Boulevard and the just-released season finale of “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” season 4 as the gateway for this exploration. Come for the analysis, stay for the story about Phil stealing something! As if that all weren’t enough, Dean and Phil go deep on a perplexing television movie from 1974, its famous writer, its all-star cast, and its legendary cinematographer. Finally, Stop! That! Train! gets fully appraised.

Your friends in podcasting have a lot to discuss, including the full, disturbing, spine-tingling story of exactly what happened to their site and Phil’s internet. They will discuss the death of an important Film Production company, the emergence of a truly intriguing Film Distribution company. They will tackle this year’s Oscar Winners for Best Documentary and Best Animated Film, as well as a nominee for Best Actress. All that, plus they share some awesome pet stories and preview at least one upcoming LIVE CHH appearance! It’s a great episode. Just don’t tell Phil that Mercury is in Retrograde!ali
