Raisin Man Arena: Recent Episodes
Raisin Man Arena
Back from hiatus but we're not gonna go back to the old schedule we'll probably just do episodes every once in a while moving forward.
We talked about going to the Pictoplasma animation conference, hanging out in Berlin, Donald Trump being maybe liable, and old Simple Town videos.
Director, animator, producer Steve Smith (Adult Swim, Braindead, Fontaine, etc....) comes on to talk about making short films, music videos, art directing, and getting money to make your work.
Dylan Redford (@dredford_) came on to talk about Borscht, his short My Trip to Miami, Neighbors, creating regional scenes, art collectives, and cults... honestly a fire conversation.
Doge Twitter, Trump goes to jail, Lifeworld punk show, beautiful animation, improv, 5 million dollar movie, Michael Jordan, overly long comedy show.
We got Caroline Yost (editor, comedian, member of Simple Town, Ladies Who Ranch, Car World, William and Caroline OnlyFans) and we talked about all her different projects + the new Simple Town short + her philosophy on editing.
We had Annabel and Sabina on to talk about being twins, doing couple's therapy, and people with fake DID
We talked to director and editor Harrison Fishman (@HarrisonFishman) (Glensday, Moon Hoax, Big Pussy) about his films, his transition from sculpture to film, the violence of filming people, 360 degree cameras, directing non-actors, and his documentary Neighbors. Check it out.
We talked to Jake (@hoe_slut_hoe on Instagram) about her evolution from venerated architect to Brookly nightlife producer legend, to her feud with Brit Barbie, to some other stuff. You don't wanna miss this one.
We talked about the lab leak hypothesis, a Caveh Zahedi screening that got weird, and um what else. Oh, holidays.
We talked about why Sarah wants to stop producing and me and Sam had a tense conversation about something that happened two years ago. Mario movie
The sound becomes extremely ass at one point. I'm sorry, next week we're back to normal I promise
Bad sound on this one, but thats OK. Felipe's in Argentina, Sam went to Sustain release, and Sarah is trying to figure out what to do with her free time.
No Felipe this ep. We have Edy Modica on to dish on her own experiences in Hollywood (where movies are made)
Apparently we found out at the end of the episode that none of the stuff we talked about anybody wanted to talk about. Curious about whether that will make for an interesting listen. I guess I like the end because it opens the curtain into how we think about the show but don't we literally do that every single episode?
We got Pedro Bello (@Pedro.TQM) talking about art, his time at Borscht, his NFT project AdWorld, and his music. Even if you don't know who he is and you're just tuning in for us three, yo should listen to it, because Pedro is really funny and good in it.
Ian Faria (@lornemichaels on IG and @ianfaria13 on Twitter) came on to advertise the Kickstarter for his new project "What Happened to Bobi," a movie where he will be reenacting his grandmother's stories of contact with aliens. You can find the Kickstarter here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ianfaria/what-happened-to-bobi Give him your money!
And if you're curious, here's the link to "UFOs, Nephilim, Climate Change and the Devil": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hw8_hW9rTl8&t=775s
No Sarah on this one, just two guys discussing the political and economic state of the world
Playwright, director, and actor Julia Mounsey (Protec/Attac, While You Were partying, 50/50 Old School Animation) came to fill in for Felipe on this episode. They talk about theater in New York, Julia's work, and why she tried convincing Felipe to quit the podcast.
An all-time episode in my opinion. We talked about the comedy scene and scenes in general.
We talked about bullying, vegan Fridays, Brian Florez, Sarah's big life decision, John Wilson
We had our friend Kelly over and talked about Joss Whedon, middle school, and some other stuff.
We talked about the movie You Can't Meme, The Narcissism of Others, and other stuff too
we had Alex Bliss on to talk about his movies, twitter spaces, and do his funny impressions
Me and Sam on this one. Talked about Halloween, the Eternals, some shows we did, and Thanksgiving food
We're Back. Maybe permanently? This was a morning episode so we did the weather and traffic.
We released this one in time for santa to listen on his air pods while delivering presents
We talked about the sex club Sam used to belong to, Karen Sedaris, and also Sam has been working on a very topical George Bush impression.
We kind of fucked around this episode but the vibes were good and I think this one is funny so give it a listen.
Sam explained something called Scrum Agile, we talked about Obama reading books so girls would have sex with him, and also we talked about bullshit jobs.
We talked about the Parade underwear thing and refused to take a controversial position, we talked about Michael Ian Black stealing Sam's tweet, Sarah's scientific therapist, and then the Iraq war.
Brooke and Chase were on this one. Listen to "Brooke and Chase Talk for an Hour," soon to be called Trolling on Soundcloud. They are really funny. Umm what else. Sam twisted his ankle and Sarah is feeling bad. Felipe is somewhere in the middle. Trump concede bitch!
We did a bonus so Sarah could make up an ep. Rate us on Apple Podcasts or I'll be mad!!!
Sarah wasn't on this one so we recorded a bonus where she was, but the audio got corrupted. Anyways whatever maybe well do another
We talked about how Trump got better, Bill Burr on SNL, those guys who tried to kidnap the Michigan governor, and sexual mutual aid.
Sam tells a pretty affecting story about his father's death. No Sarah on this one so we did sound effects for 6 minutes.
Sarah and Sam talk about when they were going to hook up, and we talk a little bit about Randy Rainbow and the DNC. The stream fucked up halfway through so the sound might be weird at certain parts.
We talked about panic attacks maybe SNL a little bit at the end. Trying to go live again soon maybe.
We talked about whether the fireworks are an op, about the cancel wars, and what else? I think that's it. I think the fireworks might actually be FBI now.
