  "Take Shelter" with Mark Stanley

  Jul 29, 20261h 47m

  Would you do anything to protect your family? Even if it risked the trust they have in you? Which is more stoic? To stay in silent agony or bring the ones you love down into the rabbit hole of what could be your own delusions. In this episode I sit down with Mark Stanley and we talk about the movie “Take Shelter”. Take Shelter is a slow-burning psychological drama about Curtis LaForche, played by Michael Shannon, a husband and father who begins experiencing terrifying dreams and visions of an approaching apocalyptic storm. As his fears intensify, he becomes consumed with protecting his family by building a massive storm shelter in his back yard while those around him question whether he’s preparing for a real disaster or losing his grip on reality and plunging his wife and daughter further into chaos and debt. The film explores themes of mental illness, faith, family, and the burden of trying to protect the people you love. It builds tension through atmosphere rather than action, leaving viewers to wrestle with the unsettling question of whether Curtis’s visions are delusions—or warnings. Thoughtful, haunting, and emotionally powerful, Take Shelter is as much a character study as it is a psychological thriller.

  "The Revenant" with Cigars and Conversations Podcast

  Jul 22, 20263h 3m

  What would you do if someone you loved was murdered right in front of you after you had just got mauled by a bear and left for dead. I’m sure its a question you ask yourself often. None the less. Would you spend the rest of your life trying to forgive that person or crawl through the cold vast wilderness of early America seeking your revenge. In this episode I sit down with James, Jeff, Julian and Harold from the podcast “Tales From The Phonics Cigar Lounge” in Grass Valley Ca and we discuss the movie “The Revenant”. “The Revenant”, made in 2015, is a brutal survival drama set in the American wilderness during the 1820s. After frontiersman Hugh Glass (play by Leonardo DiCaprio) is viciously attacked by a bear, he is abandoned by members of his hunting party. Severely wounded and alone, Glass must endure freezing temperatures, starvation, hostile terrain, and enemy attacks as he makes his way across the wilderness. Driven by grief and revenge, he is determined to find the man who betrayed him and murdered his son. This conversation was a lot of fun. We laugh (a lot) and discus Cigars, whisky, revenge, pain and the true story of Hugh Glass. I hope you enjoy.

  "In The Line Of Fire" with David Schutz

  May 7, 20261h 50m

  "In the Line of Fire" is a tense political thriller about a veteran Secret Service agent (played by Clint Eastwood) haunted by his past failure to protect President John F. Kennedy. When a highly intelligent and obsessive assassin begins targeting the current president, the agent is drawn into a psychological cat-and-mouse game. As the killer taunts him and exploits his guilt, the agent must confront his own demons while racing against time to stop another tragedy. In this episode, I sit down with Dave Schutz, and we discuss his career in law enforcement in the Indianapolis Police Department, FBI, and current job in Executive Protection Detail. This episode is a bit different in a good way. We talk about how no one truly gets comfortable as a “Bullet Catcher”, how his career has changed some of his views on culture and politics, and how a routine traffic stop changed his view of certain people. Many things we discuss can be found in his book called, “And They Give Us Guns”. Many parts of the movie made the hairs stand up on Daves neck as they hit a bit too close to home. This movie is and action thriller that forces you to ask yourself the question, could I actually catch a bullet for someone else. I hope you enjoy. https://us.amazon.com/THEY-GIVE-GUNS-progressive-policing/dp/B0BRM569HNr

  Episode #20

  "Anaconda" with Adison Wolfe

  Apr 29, 20261h 42m

  Anaconda is a modern reimagining of the classic jungle thriller, following a group of travelers drawn into the Amazon by a sense of nostalgia and adventure. What begins as a throwback-inspired journey quickly turns into a fight for survival when they become the target of a massive, deadly anaconda, forcing them to confront both the dangers of the wild and the illusion of the past they were chasing. As they chase their dream a huge snake chases them. This movie was surprisingly fun and took me on a trip down memory lane to the 90s. In this episode I sit down with Adison Wolf and we discuss where we were in the 90s and early 2000s and talk about some of the our passions we had as kids growing up. The question I have for you is, what was a passion you had as a kid and would you attempt to chase dream again today? I hope you enjoy.

As they journey through a dangerous and unstable world, Theo must rediscover hope and courage in a time when both seem lost.
