Retirement Plan (2025) is a whimsical story about Ray, a man at apathy with his life, dreaming of the beauty and joy he will find in retirement.
This 7-minute Oscar nominated animated short was created by the terrific team of John Kelly (Director/Co-Writer) and Tara Lawall (Co-Writer). The three of us sat down to discuss what got them into the arts, what they drew from their own life to put into the story, how the film has affected people in different ways, and more.

They found themselves. Together. In Baltimore.
A newly sober man's Christmas Eve dental emergency leads to an unexpected romance with his older dentist as they explore Baltimore together.
That's the tagline for The Baltimorons (2025), one of my ten favorite movies from last year. I had the chance to sit down with the co-writer and star, Michael Strassner, to talk about some of his comedic influences, how his life shaped the film's story, and what the journey has been like seeing the film connect with so many people.
The Baltimorons is up for multiple awards at the Film Independent Spirit Awards on Sunday, February 15th.

I took a deep dive into 2007, along with special guests Frankie Sparks & Scott Eisenberg from Shoot the Flick, and after the episode we turned the voting over to you, the people!
We agreed with one of the Academy's wins that year (Javier Bardem in No Country for Old Men), so only five categories went to the social media polls for you, the listeners to decide on.
The voting has concluded and it's time to share the results and officially add these winners to the coveted Revisionist's Almanac.
With this episode cycle completed, we turn our attention to episode twenty-six, where I was joined by three wild ones from down under - James, Maddie, and Nick from I Was a Teenage Film Snob - to dissect the year 1987 (The Last Emperor winning Best Picture). This episode will release on Friday, February 6th.

The Revisionist's Almanac
This podcast will use the benefit of hindsight to look back at past Academy Awards and determine which winners have stood the test of time, and which have aged terribly. Andrew, Adam, and a revolving guest will debate who should have won the major Oscars from every ceremony!
