In this episode I review the latest film from writer/director Aaron Sorkin, based on the true story of seven men on trial for inciting riots in Chicago in 1968. The movie debuted recently and is available now on Netflix.
As per a friend's request, I finally gave in and watched Hamilton. This is my immediate, unscripted reaction.
In this episode, I talk about the Jack Black vehicle School of Rock, and why it works despite its ridiculous premise.
In this episode, I discuss the 2015 movie Steve Jobs, including its unique 3 act stucture, Sorkin's dialogue, and Michael Fassbender's performance.
In this episode, I discuss the 2006 movie Inside Man, including Spike Lee direction, Clive Owens performance, certain plot choices, and the credits music.

I am joined by David Prairie and Nathaniel Haston for our third round of rapid fire questions.
With the decade coming to a close, I thought I would look back on the music of the decade that has meant something to me. It's not as passionate of a topic for me as movies, but its I enjoy music nonetheless, so it was fun to compile my list and share a bit from the songs.
For this countdown, I shared my favorite movie themes that probably aren't as recognizable, but have made an impression on me.
In this episode I count down my favorite movie themes. This is the first of 2 movie themed episodes, the second of which will countdown personal favorites, whereas these are my favorite iconic ones.
It's been at least 3 years since the Brickroom podcast was alive and active, and today I rejoined my 2 dear friends and Brickroom co-creators, David Prairie and Nathaniel Haston, for a new podcast. We revisited a format we had done previously, where we each prepared about 5 questions and then asked them to the others without sharing them in advance.
I tell a story I had on my mind all day, including details I don't think I ever talked about before (they aren't anything too exciting). Then I try to explain why I've been thinking about this story.
I look back at the year of movies and give my Top 5 picks for the year, along with some notable disappointments and honorable mentions.
I discuss my admiration for the amazing run of basketball by the Golden State Warriors.
Since I haven't published anything in a while, I decided to crank out a mega podcast, which was broken into 3 parts. Part 1 is an attempt to update people on my life with some of the generic things people tend to ask about.
This is the second half of the conversation between Nathaniel Haston and myself on Breaking Bad. It picks up right where Part 1 leaves off.
After binge watching the show on Netflix, I decided to have my first guest on the podcast, Nathaniel Haston, so we can discuss our analysis of the show.
Sometimes I worry that my nitpicking of movies leads people to believe I can't just enjoy movies. But that's not true. I love movies. So here I constructed a list of 10 movies that, despite being rejected by critics, I really liked. This was based on their score on Rotten Tomatoes.
