MEDIA APPEARANCE: PART 1- Guest on the "Marvel Movie Minute" Podcast talking "Captain America: The First Avenger"

PART 1- Recently, Will Johnson and I, representing our Cinephile Hissy Fit podcast were invited to participate on the Marvel Movie Minute podcast hosted by Pete Wright and Andy Nelson and sponsored by TruStory FM. Their format is very arduous and unique. They break down a Marvel film one minute at a time. You would think only talking about a single minute would be easy or not generate much talk, but, I assure you it’s the opposite. Will and I recorded a week’s worth of five shows covering the 16th-20th minutes of Captain America: The First Avenger. Enjoy these wonderful conversations all week!

PODCAST: Episode 77 of "The Cinephile Hissy Fit" Podcast

For their 77th episode, our two lofty film critics, awestruck dads, and researching school teachers Will Johnson and Don Shanahan offer a new show from their "Deep Cut" series where they examine some of the lesser known and underseen movies of an actor or filmmaker's resume. Everyone has certainly heard of Steven Spielberg, but Will and Don look past the obvious hits to present some of their favorites of his that maybe you have forgotten.

Shot inside Chicago’s The Laugh Factory, this first episode is a discussion on movies that make us cry. Enjoy this energetic and emotional conversation and be sure to follow Mike’s work on 25YL.

Ian asked us to watch the movie with new eyes.

Their follow-up to Cherry, on the first Cinephile Hissy Fit shows, is the new Netflix assassin action movie The Gray Man. Because both of our hosts like this movie against the norm, this episode spurred a detour into the current state of film criticism and whether or not critics can recognize or have fun anymore.
