Dogs, Fiction, and Brown Podcast

Entertainment journalist Josh Weiss joins us to talk about the the influence John Carpenter's iconic film had on 'The Hateful Eight,' the extensive research involved in creating “The Thing Oral History” for Syfy.com, and the work that's gone into producing and co-writing CREATORVC's upcoming expansive documentary, "The Thing: Expanded."

In a rare one on one episode, we discuss the elements of Stanley Kubrick’s 1956 film ‘The Killing’ that influenced ‘Reservoir Dogs,’ and why it’s Quentin Tarantino’s favorite heist movie.

In the second episode of season 2, we’re joined by artist John Dunn, to speak about the 1996 dark comedy directed by Reb Braddock, a tale about a gore hound who’s been obsessed with murder since a young age, and is hot on the trail of Miami serial murderer, “The Blue Blood Killer.”

On the season one finale, we are joined by renowned artist, Marketing & Creative Director for the A2AC (Ann Arbor Art Center), and long time friend of CE Garcia, Jeremy Wheeler, to offers insight, and interpretations on a film that has been heralded to be as controversial, as it is long: ‘The Hateful Eight.’

Joining us is Mario Aquayo. A self pro-claimed Tarantino expert, avid fan of the revenge film genre, and someone with fashion sense that rivals the "Stuntman Cliff Booth" aesthetic. Mario chose a fitting QT film entry that has been heralded as a masterpiece by most, and one that takes the alternate history flare to a whole other level.

"It's a CRASHER, not a SLASHER..." - Clark Olson is a film enthusiast and frequenter of the New Beverly Cinema in Los Angeles, California, and chose to bring us a film that has been referred to as the weakest in the QT catalogue, but holds a soft spot in every true fan's heart: 2007's Death Proof.

In this episode we welcome videographer, writer, producer, and filmmaker Moses Munoz, to chat about the follow-up to Robert Rodriguez's 1992 low budget juggernaut, "El Mariachi," and his exposure to Tarantino, Rodriguez, and overall film at a young age.

Part One of our "Double Bill" welcomes music producer & deejay Ed Reyes to speak about a film that received mixed, but generally positive reviews from both critics & audiences alike. Heralded as excessively violent and slow-paced, listen as we dig into what was originally intended to be a sequel, and destined to be ultimately cancelled if it wasn't for Samuel L. Jackson.

Broadcasting all the way from Japan, Part Two of our "Double Bill" welcomes life-long friend of CE Garcia, Ben Gonzalez, as they dissect what has been said to be QT's most "conventional" film to date, and why they feel it was a trial run for later films such as "The Hateful Eight" and "Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood."

Celebrating the 14th Anniversary of "Inglorious Basterds," our hosts welcome family friend & long time musical compatriot of CE Garcia, Mike Cuevas, to discuss Tarantino’s 2009 alternate history tale of Lt.
