Synopsis

A late night show for your ears since 2013. A comedian and his film school friends have reunited for one epic podcast after another. Binge Watchers get it? We talk about movies. We sometimes talk about our own experiences being on Hollywood's D list of weirdo indie filmmakers trying to catch a break before a total break down. But, hey we will always have this podcast we made, right? Until the digital crash and all digital info is zapped bye-bye, but wait, we are getting off track and this podcast description is getting way too long. Hosted by a writer and comedian, John Travis. Sometimes joined by his friends. And an entertainer or musician stops by every episode or so often to talk shop, tell a great story, or impart some crazy inspiration. Binge with us!
