Post Credits 01 - Joker and Parasite
We're back for a "post credits" episode! To keep it simple - it's a freeform talk about Joker, Parasite, and a few other things we've watched since the BTB Finale episode. We've been feeling the urge to talk movies and what better way than with our listeners! These episodes won't be released on any consistent basis but you can definitely expect some more content in the future. Thanks for listening! Song:  Cheetah  https://filmstro.com/music

100 The Finale
100 EPISODES!!! WOOHOOO! To celebrate, we're giving you something brand new. Not one film. Not TWO films. But THREE FILMS! That's right, we chat about three films in this episode. Each film was handpicked for each host by the two other hosts. For Keith, we dove into the perpetual night with the 1998 science fiction film "Dark City". For Byron, we got crafty with the 2009 indie-darling, fantasy film "Ink". For Jacob, we took a mostly-accurate history lesson with the 2006 epic, adventure film "Apocalypto". We have loved every minute of this podcast and appreciate all of our listeners and guests we've had on the show. And frankly, we were and still are surprised to see how many regular listeners we have -- thank you all! I do, however, have some unfortunate news that turns this celebration bittersweet. I am sad to announce that we have decided to stop producing future episodes of the show. This podcast has been an incredible experience for the three of us, and we have bonded over the past two years, creating a lasting friendship that we will take to the grave. During this show we had so many momentous events: Keith began his career as a video contractor & became certified to fly a drone. He made a film for Western Washington University Veteran Services, and continues to write scripts. Recently he became the director of marketing for a national Whatcom-based graphics company.  Byron created his most divisive film yet, titled "Clipping the Wings of an Angel". It premiered at Bleedingham and led to many industry professionals contacting him about future work. If you watch his cinematography reel, you'd be impressed.  Jacob got married to his lovely wife Tiffany. He moved homes a whopping 5 times during this podcast. His film "The Game of Kubb" won the overall audience award at the 48 Hour Film Project Seattle. Jacob continues freelance video editing work in Seattle. Jacob also promises that his other podcast "Cinema Therapy" is still being worked on and will be finished. It is the end of an era for us. Although we have stopped recording weekly, we may return for legacy episodes in the future. Thank you all for everything. Cheers!
