Today, the Kicking the Seat Podcast looks at one of the year's most unexpected and important films, Decaf Don! Last week, Ian sat down with writer/director Nick Alonzo, cinematographer Greg Nico Garibay, and stars Dennis Episcopo and Mario Anthony to discuss the off-kilter new dramedy about an unemployed teacher whose past comes back to haunt him the night before a big job interview.
A chance encounter with a former student leads to an intense evening of revelations and heated, hot-button arguments that chillingly captures the national mood. This conversation digs into Decaf Don's origins; the challenges of dramatizing controversial viewpoints; and grocery store pitch meetings.
Also, Ian braces for Avengers: Endgame, and talks about how you can support Clare Cooney's magnificent new short film, Runner, as it winds down a spectacularly successful Seed & Spark campaign!
Episode 403 will keep you up at night!
