  • Ep. 94 - Brett Newton (RehearseNow.AI)
    Sep 29 2025
    All actors will want to listen to this episode: Growing up in Long Valley, NJ, Brett was encouraged to pursue his dreams, and pursue he did! Residing within driving distance of New York City, he sought after theater, became a professional tap dancer and theater acting before making his move to Los Angeles by the age of 19. Over the years, he’s enhanced his craft to include a professional actor, producer and director, with hundreds of credits. With his company LA Reels, he and his former business partner created one of the first demo reel companies (shooting original content for actors’ reels, filming over 4000 scenes in the last 12 years). Now, he’s developed a site to help actors rehearse with an AI partner 24/7, called RehearseNow.Ai . The site allows actors to upload their script and choose an AI rehearsal partner to go over the scene with and the partner responds in real time. I was actually talking about something like this with a friend of mine and Brett had already created it, so I had to bring him on to hear more about this. We talk a lot about movies, the future of filmmaking and more!
    From October 5th-25th, RehearseNow.AI is running a contest The A.I. Scene Partner Challenge in which actors submit their best audition using www.RehearseNow.AI . Scripts will be provided by LA Reels. Top 10 Actors chosen will do a meet and greet with three professional casting and the top actor chosen wins $1000! Use the code “Classic” to use the service free for a month!
    Check out www.RehearseNow.AI for more details.

  • Ep. 93 - Run (2025)
    Sep 15 2025
    I was thrilled to see that Tubi movies are finally getting their chance in the theaters. Why not? All the strikes, super hero movies, MCU, remakes, reimaginings, sequels, prequels, DCEU and everything in between, let’s have the little guys have their time.
    Run is arguably the best time in the theater I’ve had in a few months and it’s solely on the unintentional humor, acting, directing and everything that made me love seeing bad movies in the theaters!

  • Ep 92 - Grazia Tricarico (Body Odyssey)
    Sep 8 2025
    I came across Grazia’s masterpiece of cinema Body Odyssey and was immediately blown away. The story, the acting and everything was like if David Lynch and David Cronenberg made a film about female body building. I know how that sounds and, I had to have her on the pod to talk. Because I was part of multiple people interviewing her, I only had 20 mins to chat, but, as you could tell I could easily talk for another hour. If you can get a chance, check out Body Odyssey, now making the rounds at film festivals.

  • Ep. 91 - Trust
    Aug 27 2025
    What in the name of Tubi Original’s is this? Just when you thought Flight Risk was the biggest stinker of the year, Trust says “Hold my beer!” Sophie Tuner’s latest movie about disgusting men grooming children in the film industry to lure them into sexual relationships is getting the thumbs down from almost all critics. Why? Well, because no one sees that part in the movie and are too busy focussed on all the silly aspects of it like the logistics of how doors work and rats carrying hammers. I wish that was a joke.

  • Ep. 90 - The Naked Gun (2025)
    Aug 21 2025
    In a world of sequels, requels, remakes and reimaging, is there any surprise that “The Naked Gun” wouldn’t come back? Well, this one was really good and I had a blast watching and recording it! If you like slapstick and silly, then please go see this movie ASAP. It's fun, self aware and, dammit, it’s the movie we need today. Kick back and be prepared to laugh.

  • Ep. 89 - I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025)
    Jul 24 2025
    Wow! This movie was bad. Has it been 28 years since the original I Know What You Did Last Summer? Well, the movie I thought was going to be the hit of the summer turns out to be a giant stinker filler with unlikable characters, dumb dialogue (even for slashers) and dumber situations. The whole Summer is a mess of a movie and although I hate talking bad about movies, it’s impossible with this one.

  • Ep. 88 - Top Cannon and Carolco movies Part 2! (with Ukrainian film critic/author Davyd Klimov)
    Jul 22 2025
    We’re back to discuss more Cannon and Carolco movies! Ukrainian film critic, author and now podcaster, Davyd Klimov joins me to discuss our favorite films from the cult companies. It's hard not to love 80's action flicks and it's about time I had a discussion on them.
    When you’re done with the pod, check out his book To Watch, or Not To Watch, which is filled with reviews that Klimov recommends and … doesn’t. Klimov is very knowledgable critic and if this podcast doesn't convince you to buy his book, then check it out anyways.
