Chillpak Hollywood Hour #304
March 11, 2013 | 
Author Even after almost six years of bringing you a free weekly podcast, your friends in podcasting can still surprise. Witness this week’s opening, which is an absolute first. Witness Dean and Phil talking about LARPing (Live-Action Role-Playing) … LARPing!!!
Dean and Phil finally get around to their “genius” vs. “artist” discussion as it relates to filmmakers, painters, scientists and pioneers in all fields. They also take on an article claiming to unlock the conspiracy mindset and in the process take on the entire era of judgment in which we find ourselves.
Finally, they discuss several movies and several television shows as well as the death of NBC.
All this week, on YOUR Chillpak Hollywood Hour!

On this week’s show, your friends in podcasting welcome back a dear, dear friend of the show, a journalist who talks about a wide range of topics, from the future of television, to the way iTunes is changing everything, to the book he may someday write, to jazz, to his desert island discs and the terrific top ten list he submitted for the Top Films of All Time show.
Hint: He’s the ONLY person to guest host a Chillpak Hollywood Hour all by himself, an episode that can only be found among the bonus features on The Truth Is Out There …

Chillpak Hollywood Hour #255
Wow. This week’s installment of YOUR Chillpak Hollywood Hour is one for the vaults. There’s something for everyone, especially if you love good stories and insightful, hilarious and inspiring conversation.
Your friends in podcasting discuss the SAG-AFTRA merger, doing what you love, loving what you do, the cool history of the Pickfair studio, Phil’s atrocious handwriting, the conspiracy theory surrounding The Hunger Games, a lawsuit against an award-winning playwright and another lawsuit against the worst filmmaker of all time.
Finally, Dean and Phil tell the legend of Edmund Kean’s sword and debate how Laurence Olivier’s failure to pass that sword on either represents the way knowledge is lost or the way that knowledge is never forgotten!
