  • Episode 16 - Sheria Mattis: Comedy Writing and a Congratulations!

    12/08/2020

    Today on Don't Quit Your Day Job, I am interviewing the incredible Sheria Mattis! Sheria is a comedian in New York City (as many of my guests are) who just landed her first real gig as a comedy writer! People have told me I would be a good writer and I really wanted to pick Sheria's brain about her process and projects she's done. This episode was really special and her recent accomplishment has made me feel like there's a light at the end of the tunnel. We talk stand up, writing, diversity, and perspective in comedy! This one is a goodie! If you love Sheria as much as I do, follow her on twitter @Sheriadidthat, on Instagram @sheriamattiscomedy, and also check out her amazing comedy show on IG @loudbitchcomedy If you like me, follow me on twitter @MaximOfAllen. You can also follow Don't Quit Your Day Job on Instagram @DQYDJ_pod. My DMs are open! Thanks for listening!

Come hang with us as you listen to conversations we'd have even if we weren't recording. Filled with topics that span from Movies to Music and of course Notes With Conor, which is sure to make you go "what".

  • Anti-wave

    08/12/2020

    Cannonball of Death

    Welcome to Anti-wave Podcast, where Robert Cannon + Ira Heffler discuss all your Anti-wave movie needs. What the hell is Anti-wave, you ask? Great question. In short, Anti-wave is a way to describe films that seek to buck the typical Hollywood trends. Anti-wave is an opportunity to reimagine the way we construct genre films. Anti-westerns have been popular in the years since WWII, but where are the anti-sports films that try to shake off the expected formulaic writing? This podcast tries to find those films for you. Along the way, we deliver some laughs, get into film theory, and speak with filmmakers who share our anti-sentiment. So, welcome to Anti-wave Podcast! We hope you enjoy the ride.
