About This Podcast

An author and a chessmaster walk into a movie theater... Author Zachary Steele and the chessmaster of "mystery" (ahem), Germ, delve into their favorite new and old movies, generally acting in a way that might make you question the "intelligence" on display. From film facts, to background stories, to winding paths full of philosophy and humor, the act of just watching a movie in silence and going home is not something these two friends are familiar with. Gear up for discussions on thier favorite films, behind the scenes information and stories from the sets, the music that accompanies it, and ramble about into history (film and real), philosophy, and why Germ thinks Snickers is quite possibly nature's most perfect food.
