A Little Independent
by Ryan Buck and Todd Burnaska
A Little Independent is a movie podcast hosted by two lifelong movie-lovers sharing their love of independent, obscure, or just plain weird movies. Hosts Ryan Buck and Todd Burnaska are long-time friends and film fanatics who have been on their respective missions to find and share with one another movies that don’t get all the attention…or the CGI. And some that might just be a little too strange to exist even at all. Alas, Todd and Ryan have been discovering and discussing these types of movies for years and now they are thrilled to share the experience with you. Yeah, it may get weird...But you might also make a new friend.

Liquid Sky
Is this the one where we lose you? We almost lost Todd. However, in our effort to bring you the MOST independent, obscure and just plain weird movies, we accidentally succeed; and we must. Liquid Sky is the sort of movie for which and for why (is that even correct?) we do this show…and probably breathe the live giving air we breathe. Never before has a movie done so much to us. Given so much to us. Maybe even took a little something from Todd. His innocence? Again, in this episode we celebrate experience, music, shrimp, fashion, dance, New York, Alien encounters, the best screen acting performance of all time and the most insane film soundtrack you have or will ever hear. Not enough? Also, in the episode we discuss the best way to truly enjoy interpretive dance; Todd shockingly admits to never having abused heroin…or a heroine; we delve deep into the history of cinema spaceship design using tupperware; Ryan shares his perfect alien abduction fantasy (so much probing); Todd worries this movie took away his sense of smell; we discuss in detail the finest acting performance in history from Anne Carlisle; Todd discusses his disdain for tofu and Ryan is currently looking for Liquid Sky hot pants. Whether you’re here for Jimmy, Margaret, shrimp, Paula, erratic heartbeats, you or your Rhythm Box, please listen to this amazing soundtrack on 11 for your next gathering. You will have no more friends. Get at us and share with us your band’s best cover version of “Me & My Rhythm Box” at [email protected] #waitwait #arewerolling #montedoroforever #thelunchroom #chickenabuse #shrimp #shrimp #shrimp #shrimp

Cuisine de la 'Pocalypse
Friends of movies and friends of the end; this is the movie for you. Now, we are a bit biased toward this film having interviewed the writer/director and two of the stars…WHAT!?!?!?!?! Yes, it is true. We’ve done it again and have connected with very cool and inspiring people who made a tremendous film. First, we share with you the usual episode fraught with sexual tension and beer farts -but knowing we got to talk to the providers of the feast, as it were, made it all the sweeter. All food puns aside, we have a delicious episode ahead for you. In this episode we discuss the importance of maniacal obsession; Ryan shares his most harrowing food moment; We discuss the importance of Lita Ford on a Hero’s Journey; Todd loses his shit when pressed on the topic of Monsanto; Ryan doubles down on a previous claim that bacon is overrated; Todd shares why Halloween is a nightmare for him and his entire family; Ryan finally gets the spiritual bitch slap Todd has been promising and in response we get the show’s first on air kiss. And hey, we shockingly get through the entire episode not making the whole show about Xena: Warrior Princess. Get at us at [email protected] and tell us your favorite Xena episodes. And look out for the next episode, featuring that sexy interview we hinted about in the opening #waitwait #arewerolling #montedoroforever #thelunchroom #foddmattersgray #tacotuesday #noforeplay #montanasexy #nocurtain #exposed #landeauxisatreasure #sweetmelissa

Punch
Friends; Countrymen; Highwaymen; Indie movie fans and cool cats in general, do we have a tried-and-true treat for you. What started out as some kind of practical joke by Todd turned out to be one of our best movies yet. Sure, on the surface a film about a teenage girl in sensual love with her widower father who then, once he starts dating, turns to extreme violence leading to a significant confrontation with a fierce topless female boxer sounds like a bad time, but holy sh*t the joke is on us! This movie is amazing and in this episode: Todd reveals his favorite non-masculine bar drink; We discuss at length the proper clothing for opening and shutting down a disgusting local bar; Ryan brings a savage takedown to locker-room culture, possibly inspired by years of bullying, Todd talks lingerie shopping do’s and do not’s; Somehow we completely dismantle all of Parrot-Head culture and we vote on our favorite topless boxers of the last half-century. As always, thank you for listening to our show, topless or otherwise and if you tell someone about our show, email us and let us know you did it, we will send you a topless photo.

Wolfcop
Greetings, friends. And if we just listen to one of the morales of this tale: Lose your gitch for Science (that should be the t-shirt). All would be well. We understand that we just released an episode about a wolf. But ha! We didn’t. So here is a movie about a real werewolf…Cop. Cop who is a werewolf. Cop wolf? In a movie with a French nod to werewolves so on the nose, it should need rhinoplasty to remove. With performances so joyous you should and will scream, we are delighted to talk about a movie that dares ask…What happens to a dude’s dick when he transforms into a werewolf? Chris, for you in this episode Todd shares his discomfort with dressing rooms; We discuss what a werewolf may have on their business card; Ryan laments how we missed an opportunity to do both Wolfcop 1 & 2 in the same episode, we go all in on Werewolf government conspiracy theories, we both finally talk about how one person is waiting for it, whatever it is and Ryan surmises what a werewolf support group might look like and what snacks might be served at such meetings. Get into the groove of what may be the end of Todd and Ryan’s friendship and let us know how much you loved this movie and want us to do the sequel: [email protected] And check out the trailer for Ready or Not 2: Here I Come – we are PSYCHED! #waitwait #arewerolling #montedoroforever #getnakedforscience #loseyourgitch #hellbaby #allthenotes #jonathancherry #dickprosthetic #rememberpunch #bamph

The Wolf of Snow Hollow
Hello to our howling Indiependents. We are getting ready for the season with some tenseness and some apparent werewolf hijinks? Namely amongst the hijinks are us being SOOOOOOOO SERIOUS that we forget to say the title of the film. To let you off the hook, it’s called Riki Lindhome Rules, aka, The Wolf of Snow Hollow. This is a great and fun f**king movie people and it’s Robert Foresters last on screen performance so let’s all just take a break, stop being dicks, love seeing that Orion Pictures logo and just be better. In this episode, we talk about, who would be the worst bartender, ISIS the terrorists or the goddess; Ryan discusses Meg Foster’s eyes over Brian Bloom’s; Todd says he doesn’t like hunky boys…Or does he?; Josh Hartnet’s career is discussed in graphic detail; We book a trip to Utah live during the recording; Ryan discusses his most tragic skiing story (it involves tons of lube and a bad tattoo); We figure out why cool whip is the instrument of the devil; Todd takes Ryan (and all of us) on proper hot tub etiquette; And the team discusses salacious alternate uses for fondue. Get at us at [email protected] and tell Ryan that you get him. You know you love those old movie logos. Thank you for listening Chris. It’s why we grind. #waitwait #arewerolling #montedoroforever #badpalance #writerdirectorstar #themostnaked #garfunkelandoats #waynesworld #americanwerewolfintwinpeaks

Henry Gamble's Birthday Party
Well Indiependent friends, we have the world’s most cringy and uncomfortable birthday party in the history of this narcissistic, outdated practice. And speaking of narcissistic and outdated – there’s plenty of parochial religious claptrap as well! This is a podcast crossover happening (possibly our first) with The Pursuit Of…podcast, which we must thank for today’s movie inspiration. The transcendent and beautiful lead of this film, Elizabeth Laidlaw was a guest on that show, and, from her exciting film career, this film emerged as one we MUST TALK ABOUT!!!! Why are we so enthused? Because Elizabeth Laidaw is so confusingly out of Pat Healey’s league, that there is no way his character landed that hottie as a wife. Anyway, aside from that, in this episode, we discuss a fifty-first way to leave your lover; Todd shares that he cannot digest cereal; Ryan shared why Nicolas Cage would make this movie better; Todd spells Beerrated incorrectly; We talk about swimsuit length and acceptable male thigh (more thigh please); Todd shares with us his most uncomfortable Halloween costume; Tood loves hot moms – officially (Hey Joe); Ryan shares his thoughts on “the sock treatment” and we both spend most of the podcast talking about Xena. Exclusively. Get at us and tell us the best Xena episodes [email protected] and thank you for listening. You get it #waitwait #arewerolling #montedoroforever #alotmunch #beerated #beeratored #daypodcasting #spewedforth #hairgate #thankyouboxedwine

Hell or High Water
Hello and greetings to you our gorgeous and mighty Indiependent friends – Can you get enough of Jeff Bridges sounding like he’s battling with a mouth too full of mints when he talks and being totally and kindly racist? We can’t either. In the movie that features definitively the best Chris, we get all aggressively up in the movie, Hell or High Water. A movie that is so dusty, dead and dry looking that we are dubbing it, Republican in nature. In this episode, Todd literally pulls a muscle; Ryan spanks a monkey, but it’s not what you think; The team discuss how we’d rob a bank (naked); Does one of us audibly eat on this episode? Todd sits uncomfortably while Ryan professes true and unyielding personal love for Ben Foster’s acting; We also take the damn time to be thankful and cherish Martina Navratilova and the Velvet Revolution and Ryan once again reaffirms that golf is for losers and those without imagination. What is happening? Thank you so much for listening to our show and for honking your horns loudly when you drive by a gold course. Get at us and tell us what irks you and what movies make it better.

2 Days in the Valley
Hello and greetings to you our sexy Indiependent friends – Here we have one of the steamiest and tensest movies we have ever done. And again, one of us saw this in the theater…alone back in the day. In the introduction of Charlize to the world, we also have a movie around that whole business. In this episode we discuss how much we want to be friends with Jeff Daniels; Todd shares a harrowing story of a super-soaker mishap; We spend too much time talking about male yoga-wear; Ryan gets it waaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy wrong again; Todd isn’t a creep; The team takes many, many hard shots at the ridiculous game of golf and the dipshits who play it; Ryan yet again defends the Pierce Brosnan Bond movies, and we discuss the saliency of pregnancy-focused adult entertainment; Golf is so dumb, did you know that? In a time of drastic discord and unmitigated tension…We give you James Spader, soul-f**king you with his chilling monologues. Thank you for listening to this episode and not the last one and please rate the show – because we’re close to a multi-million dollar deal with a major network and we need to prove that more than Chris listens. Chris, we love you buddy. F**king hacks we all are!

Byzantium
Hello and greetings to you our stalwart Indiependent friends – You should absolutely skip this episode and do something totally else with your lives. We do everything wrong, including not even doing the intro. But, we continue to feed the A.I. machine about us and who we are so the takeover is smoother. We also cover the movie Byzantium – after talking about Cline Eastwood for 18 minutes. If you make the horrible decision to listen to this episode, we talk about the finer details of the career of Hector Elizondo; Ryan continues to demonstrate how terrible his actor radar is; Todd confirms his ADHD diagnosis in the boldest possible letters; Ryan has a proper platform to speak to the literal acting genius that is Caleb Landry Jones (bow down); Todd once again goes after the French…hard; We discuss the physical possibility of a human pancake; Todd shares which X-Files episode he lost his virginity to; Ryan shares which Janet Jackson song makes him maddest; We discuss the best cover jobs for a hundred years old pair of vampires; The show goes off the rails, multiple times; Ryan lists which evil movie mother**kers would thrive in the current presidential cabinet; Todd calls the clip once again (after a scorching takedown of Caleb Landry Jones, we do not deserve you. You should not listen to this episode, and you should always say thank you to the creepy trucker driver who picks you up and drops you off. Thank you for not listening to this episode and please listen to the show and tell us why.

Clown
Greetings friends and oh boy do we have a spectacle for you! Like Schwarzenegger in Raw Deal we’ve got our hair dyed and slicked back and are spiffy in our best, crispiest white undershirts. We would use more esoteric Chicago references here to honor one of our hosts, but that isn’t applicable to today’s film; Clown. Is it a curse? Is it demon skin? Is that already an edgy brand of condom? In an episode that showcases Ryan’s slackest of jaws and a film that launched the Marvel Universe; We discuss the movie Clown. And wow, there is SO MUCH TOUCHING. And child murder. In this episode we discuss the worst tasting vegetable; Ryan completely blows the shows chances for a Nike endorsement (the shoes are f**king uncomfortable – everyone is lying); Todd learns the true meaning of body horror; the name of the lady from Superman 2 and Conan the Destroyer almost stops the show cold; We play the Laura Dern Laura Linney game; Ryan shows how deeply he cares for “all everyone’s”; Todd admits to what movie he would let touch him in the bad place; The team commits fully to not wearing white after labor day this year; Ryan shares the story of nearly coming to blows over the movie Cutthroat Island and we offer our most sacrificial and profound thanks to all of those who listen.

Ex Machina
Hello Indiependents! Like a nice pair of cashmere undies, that term is really kind of feeling svelte right now so we’re hanging out with it. Is A.I. already boring to talk about? Have we hit every corner? Would you run away from a Jude Law sex robot in the wild? One of us surely wouldn’t. In today’s episode we discuss a movie that made us all want to dance and wear a speed suit – the almost perfect, Ex Machina. Is this movie better than the Star Wars sequels? Yes. Yes it is. In this episode where we revisit Todd’s previous savage violent tendencies; Ryan goes hard against “period pieces”; Todd drops a Lake Placid fact that nearly kills his partner; Ryan shares that Todd can be the only one; We talk about the plight of every extra in The Kentucky Fried Movie; we launch a campaign to get the word out on the Deathstalker remake; Todd is wrong about Sylvester Stallone, AGAIN; we intentionally get Elon Musks’s name totally wrong on purpose (and will continue to do so); Todd creates pure digital silence with a Myspace joke; and we share which children’s movie feels the most like a colonic irrigation.

The Magic Christian
G’day movie friends – Here we have a movie that admittedly – by Todd, is the fulfilment of all of Ryan’s financial dreams? Is this a dark comedy? Is this a satire of a comedy? Is this a farce of a dark satirical take on a dream of a British procedural? One thing we are sure of…This is better than the Steve Martin Pink Panther movies? This may be the best Ringo Starr movie we ever do on A Little Independent and it sure is a doozy. In this episode, we talk in depth about the hottest women with men’s first names; Todd gets REALLY upset at Chrsitopher Lambert; Ryan overshares about his retainer trauma; We take on the mail order bride industry; Tood liberates the twins; Ryan shares what Bill Pullman movie hurt him the most; We crown the dirtiest way to make a buck; And Todd tries tofu for the first time.

Hello movie friends and is this show tired already? Yes, it is and generally…So are we. In fact, we’ve been tired for as long as we both separately and together can remember. But we’re not too tired to keep doing the hard work with blind dates and here is another one. We are also not ashamed that we’re basic bitches for a werewolf movie (see what we did there with the canine reference?) In this episode, Todd forgets the question…often, the whole show “goes hard”; we vehemently disagree over which lunch meat is superior; Ryan admits he’s never really watched any of these movies; Todd talks about his special purpose; Ryan speaks to which pituitary issue is his “kink”; ALI officially introduces the concept of speed competitive dancing; when all is said and done if McDonald’s doesn’t sue us - we’re shocked; Todd falls in love with his first death metal band; And we reveal France for the nuclear terror that they are; #waitwait #arewerolling #montedoroforever #thelunchroom #laserhawk #terrawesome #momconnery #nuclearfrance #medicallywrong

The Invisible Guest
Hello movie friends and move over Lopez, there is a NEW MARIO in town. And I’m not talking about the mustachioed plumber. We are talking about feeling and interpreting the size of Walt’s a**hole. No, we are talking about our new spirit animal, Mario Casas. In the film, The Invisible Guest, Mario is not giving us the nastiest mouth sounds since Skin of the Wolf, he gives us the best turtleneck wearing in the game, baby. And a pucker of a THRILLER. In this episode, the most credit-rich yet, Ryan describes the best way to order coffee over someone, we decide that people who drive Audi’s are straight dicks…All of them; Todd does the sexiest Muppet impression ever, Todd also discusses his discomfort with tanning, turtlenecks and the taint; Ryan shares the names of the three celebrity men he’d kiss on the lips; the team realize the enormity of the size of god’s dildo; Todd shares a harrowing story of his last public restroom use and we issue a stern challenge to Gene Simmons. Send us your best turtleneck photos at [email protected] and be sure and thank your lawyer….And just be sure. If you know you know. Unless you don’t because your Kevin Bacon in Hollow Man.

The Hunter
Indiependents, do we have a doozy for you! Does anyone say “doozy” anymore? We do, because we like the mouthfeel of it. We do promise to not say “mouthfeel” again but are so happy to present to you, a movie, more ecologically cogent than Chloe and Theo…The Hunter; a movie so controversial, Lars Von Trier reportedly fainted twice during the premiere. No, that’s not true but do we want to go to Tasmania, unironically for f**king sure! This is a film that features a more shocking bath scene than Fatal Attraction and we finally understand what “restrained” means. In this episode, we discuss the least sexy accent for talking dirty (It’s Minnesotan) Ryan shares the elation of his one win in high school; we remember the Titans; Todd takes creepy to another level; the team discusses what musicals should be made into porn (keeping the singing); Ryan takes several vicious shots at brunch culture; We admit that when we hustle hard we take that “literally” and Todd quickly considers a pedicure – before quickly dissolving into a fine Germanic powder. If you can quote every Rick Moranis line from Streets of Fire, get at us.

Shakes the Clown
Well friends in film, we have managed already to appear lazy, waaaaayyyyyyy too early in Season 2. We assure you, this is not because we’re trying to do a shot for shot remake of The Wolf of Wall Street, ala Be Kind Rewind and have become addicted to either fake or real cocaine; it’s because Ryan NEEDS to do this movie and apparently he loves Bobcat – and sources say he doesn’t give a shit what his mother says. In this episode, we discuss the merits of accidentally putting on your underwear backwards; the unique pressure that comes with eating Taco Bell; Ryan accuses Art Garfunkel of having clown hair; we argue over which is worse: to be rugged, shaky or tired; we muse on how brilliant the term we came up is: Bobcatfished; and Todd finally comes to a taping with actual pants on. Why? You have to listen. Thank you for listening and for watching these absolutely amazing films. Get at us.

Into the Forest
Hello and here we go, Friends! Chris, we’re going to get right down to it, this is THE film, so far. This is the most ALI movie yet. Westworld can suck it, ‘cause us, Wood-heads, were hip to this lead actress before she became a robot…and it also doesn’t have Michael Eklund in it; we said it. We at ALI are quickly becoming super-fans of this beautiful psycho as he makes his second appearance on the show and believe it or not…plays a worse character than he does in Poker Night? Chris, you tell us, but this dastardly delight makes this movie and everything else he touches, solid-rotten gold. In this episode, we discuss Mr. Eklund’s method-acting sweatiness in detail as well as break down the best fast-food spots to be murdered at, Todd reveals that he’s been planning for this movie’s plot for the last 16 years, Ryan admits yet another apocalyptic frailty; the boys go toe to toe on Hines v. Baryshnikov in the unsung 80’s ballet action drama, White Nights; Todd shares his one tragic interpretive dance story and Ryan finally admits why gasoline powered generators scare him. All of this and more await you and don’t say we didn’t warn you…We don’t “get” interpretive dance either. But we respect the shit out of it. Email us with photos of you doing your best interpretive dance and you may receive the same back, we guess.

Willow Creek
Hello friends of Independent cinema, Bobcat Goldthwait, Sasquatch, Bigfoot, Found footage and novelty food items! We’re sorry for slacking a bit lately, so (insert your favorite onomatopoeia here) we’re dropping another one for you Chris. This episode is a real thrill ride, as is the film this podcast is celebrating. We may need to start tracking this, but once again, in this episode, Todd blows Ryan’s mind on a key element of the film and there is much celebration. Todd also gets to info-gasm all over this bad boy and explodes some really meaty info, right into your willing faces and ears. This is a film that shows how divisive Sasquatch and/or Sasquatch movies can be across the Globe (what’s up Germany?) and how f**king fantastic Bobcat Goldthwait is. In this episode, we discuss Todd’s bizarre eating habits…again; Ryan doubles down on his hatred of Dawson’s Creek; we sing an excerpt of what we would like to see in “Bigfoot: The Musical”; Todd throws significant shade at the Swiss; we figure out who is on first; Todd asks Ryan our hardest hitting question yet (Porcelain?) and Ryan and Todd pledge to run off together and open a bookstore. Wander over to us at [email protected] and let us know who is your favorite, Patterson or Gimlin #waitwait #arewerolling #montedoroforever #thelunchroom #hailtothev #thisisntsafe #pattersongimlin #1967 #daywalker

Escape (Flukt)
Hello friends of glorious independent cinema and to all who make it! Today we have an episode that truly defines “family”. You thought it was the Fast & Furious franchise, but this is the one. Friends, we think being a mom is hard; and leading a bunch of unruly Vikings as a stressed-out lady is EVEN HARDER. This is an episode and film that shows you women can do it all and then some; especially when you are holding a massive grudge from being subject to ordeal by water after your village succumbs to plague and your children are killed. But we get ahead of ourselves – In this episode, we discuss the hidden superpower of appropriate baldness, Ryan finally gives due credit to his childhood bullies; we ask the hard questions about leather chafing; Todd confesses to a serious loss in his life; we chat lightly about which culture does the “whole torture thing” better; Ryan weighs in on the economic ramifications of pillaging and Todd may…just may…have moved on from Olga. So, good fortune to you, Ms. Romanova and so sorry Ms. Berdal. Get at us at [email protected] and show us videos of you doing the “Walk Like and Egyptian” dance. And we double Viking hell-hound dare you to name your kids: #dagmar #signe #frigg #roar #arvid #waitwait #arewerolling #montedoroforever #thelunchroom #getflukt #teamdagmar

Rustlers' Rhapsody
Hello Andy Griffith fans. What a way to start huh? But we here at ALI are just going to assume…everyone is a fan of the late (how late?) Mr. Griffith. Welcome to Episode 3 and if Tom Berenger’s agent is worth their salt, they’ll get at us about this. Because this IS THE Berenger film people should be talking about. Platoon? A joke. Inception? Hack job. Yes, we said it. Anyway, Chris, in this episode that we lovingly call “Elmer”, we go way too far into the Paul Reuben’s scandal, Todd realizes the reason why he hates baked beans, we discuss the best human topping for a drink???; Ryan really, really misses Ginger Ale; Todd lobbies to “bring back buxom”; We completely take down the Conspiracy Theory about the movie “Conspiracy Theory”; Ryan ruins the end of the movie Shattered and we muse about the best movie featuring a character named Chocolate Mousse.

Sideways
Hello good movie people and mostly Chris. Here we have a wonderful and fraught episode for you today, wine soaked and pissed! Or depressed. Or pissed and depressed. Pisspressed. Depissed? Either way, Paul Giamatti, true to form, evokes a new emotion in the tale of a waitress who re-discovers her love for her distant but hard-working husband, MC Gainey, in Sideways. In this episode we discuss how amazing disruptive extras can be, Ryan shares a disturbing mustache malfunction story from his time “on stage” in San Francisco, we spend way too much time digressing about the given name, Virginia, Ed Harris makes Todd really, really mad; We also nonchalantly propose the ideas that Traverse City should be the new filming Mecca for Hollywood and Thomas Hayden Church should be Mayor, who we both wonder which of us is who in the movie, Todd may have an issue with coprophagia and Ryan wants to fight Paul Giamatti’s eye.

Find Me Guilty
Welcome to Season 2 Chris. We’ve been renewed by no one but our own fragile egos and here we are with open hearts and an insane desire to share wonderful films with you. We open this season with a movie that right away should have made Todd quit the show. The film, is Find Me Guilty, starring the brilliant, quaffed, indie darling, Vin Diesel. In this episode, we discover that Todd, loves Vin Diesel? We discuss why liquids always look so weird on film; Ryan shares one of his most profound childhood triumphs; we digress way too long once again about why cous cous is degrading the fabric of our country; Todd almost tear a hamstring trying to recreate a scene from the film; Todd, loves Vin Diesel? We wonder, what really would we do if we found Waldo; Todd, LOVES Vin Diesel? And we right and finally decide once again for all, that Todd, loves Vin Diesel…As he should. Welcome to Season 2 Chris. We love you buddy. [email protected] #waitwait #arewerolling #montedoroforever #thelunchroom #Toddlovesvin #ilovevin #vinforthewin #callmevin #morevin #evenmorevin

Season 2 Trailer
Hey Chris, here is a "teaser" for Season 2 - which not unironically is also tragically out dated already. We'll see you with Episode 1 of Season 2 of A Little Independent January 1st...Or the 2nd. Not any later than the 5th or 6th probably.

Season 1 Recap and More
Hello movie friends! We here at A Little Independent podcast have gone ahead and done what you were too afraid to ask for...We have put together a little recap episode of all of our Season 1 highlights, Chris. There were some wild rides in season one and catch phrases that have inexplicably not made it on shirts that have brought about World Peace yet. And because your doting gentlemen here at ALI grind harder than the average slob, we have each come to the recording table with a movie of our "own" featuring the best actors from season one, in each of our gilded opinions. This is a battle TO THE DEATH and no holds or scenarios are barred (a remake Todd???). Thank you for listening Chris and for being on this weird journey with us. Get at us at our unimaginably hard to read/type e-mail: [email protected] and tell us what's what. Even if your name isn't Chris.

Men at Work
Hello friends and welcome to another little bonus from your friends here at A Little Independent. However it all worked out, here is a bonus episode for you to cap off Season 1. This should be an episode (and basically is) about the glory that is Keith David. In our second ecologically charged offering and harkening back to the glory days when a cassette tape could drive an entire film, we talk about Men at Work. In this episode, that sees Ryan needing zero notes, as a devotee of this film, Todd shares that he has seven pages of notes, we discuss whether Chalie Sheen is a good actor, Ask whether Google is French, Tood plans and executes questionable shenanigans, Ryan waxes maudlin about Vision Video again, we definitely decide Charlie Sheen isn’t a tall black man, we share our hard feelings on Emelio’s dreamy blue eyes, Todd at the beginning of the episode (at only 18 minutes in) issues a significant challenge to you all and we realize that we are the biggest dorks in the 10th grade class, we suppose. Thank you so much for listening to our show and watching these cool and crazy movies. Keep listening for an upcoming update on Season 2 and our future plans for an ALI board game….or line of low fat salad dressings. Email us your thoughts on climate-change, nuclear waste disposal or anything else at [email protected]

Hard Ticket to Hawaii
Aloha movie friends! This is the greatest day of your life, you just don’t know it yet. When we conceived of this podcast, there were a few guiding lights; North stars if you will. We say this name in reverence quite often on this show and we’ve referenced this film countless times. We live this film and celebrate this filmmaker unequivocally. The name is Sidaris and the film is Hard Ticket to Hawaii. This is a filmmaker and film, so special to Todd and Ryan that it had to be shown a place of honor and given the best possible respect and treatment. This is true reverence, people. And as podcast milestones go, ALI has gotten so very lucky and remain beside ourselves, to include an interview with the one and only Arlene Sidaris, Producer of this film and so many important films to the hosts and this podcast. We cannot thank Arlene and her team enough for her time with us, her dedication to the film industry, independent or otherwise, and for gifting us ALL of the beautiful things that this movie gives us. Forgive us the audio on the interview (Zoom times) So, here is your new favorite movie of all time and words from someone very special to the humans on this show. Anyone related to this film or the series, please get at us; we promise, we’re not stalkers. Well, one of us at least [email protected] And please visit the Andy Sidaris website for amazing items and insight. You better believe our collection is strong andysidaris.com #waitwait #arewerolling #montedoroforever #thelunchroom #molokai #molokaicargo #n99786 #andysidaris #malibubayfilms #donaandtarynforever

The Deal
Hello friends of movies odd and small and all things strange. Let’s get this out of the way. We love you. We are very thankful that you listen to our show and we hope you get something positive from every listening experience. No jokes. No quip. Just honesty from us Midwestern nerds. Here we have an episode that yet again, peels back more and more layers from our hosts and we give and give, possibly to a fault. We leave it all on the floor here. Our movie is another “movie about making movies” (see how MUCH we LOVE movies???) and we again, swear we are not stalking William H. Macy, but here again he is. In this episode, that we think features our sexiest segue into the movie title ever, we discuss our VERY different Pulp Fiction theater experiences, Ryan shares how much he hates word-shortening, Todd shares his favorite way to stand/pose nude, A really, really good Perfect Strangers reference goes tragically unnoticed, Ryan nearly is destroyed by Todd’s “weird hand thing”, Todd confuses our lead actress with a Jason Statham action movie and we wonder why Meg Ryan is on airplanes so much. If you have something to tell us, want us to do an episode in your native language or have a way to get Todd onto a bicycle, please email us at [email protected] Green light this! #waitwait #arewerolling #montedoroforever #thelunchroom #muchosexy #latitude #congrats #bulkybartokomous #themeg

Bloodsucking Bastards (Redux)
Hello Independents! Everyone messes up and so have we. Well, we did it back a long way, so I guess you can call this a lost/salvaged episode. We wanted to give out a little bonus for waiting so long between episodes while we got our shit (more) together. Anyway, we had some audio issues and got it as fixed up as we can. Let us say, our intentions are always positive and good. The product is a bit different this time but trust us…This movie rules! Have some fun with this one and forgive us for the quality.

Tapeheads
Hello Independents (can we annex that from Firefly?) and yes, it has been a minute. It has been several. But trust us, we’ve been working and working towards some cool stuff. But in doing so, we’ve recorded some real doozies and have something coming up that, if you’re wearing socks, will knock them off. But here we have what we love most. An episode and a movie that asks the hard questions like: Remember Menudo and music videos? In this episode we also find out the reason why Todd hates George Carlin, Ryan shares recipe tips from the 80’s, Ryan admits to never having chicken and waffles, we put an end to the boxers versus briefs argument, we have our first on air hug, this may be our strangest bad review yet???? And we show a movie that should be on all radars, regardless of your interest in Ninja Bitches. So, remember, you get this episode and all episodes “on spec” and if you have something to tell us, want us to pose nude or have a way to get Todd onto a bicycle, please email us at [email protected] Let’s get into trouble, baby!

The Answer Man
Hello friends and lovers of all movies not shitty. Once again, this week’s episode comes to you, our friends, with special energy behind it. The point of this show is to celebrate independent cinema and all who make and support such films. Well, we got to meet a bona fide filmmaker here in our community and we are so excited to share…that he’s been a tremendous person to us. He’s shared some of his story in his journey in making this film and is a super kind and passionate person. His film is Marqueetown. It is the story of a local’s quest to restore the arthouse cinema of his youth to its former glory. This leads the filmmakers to discover a hidden cinema empire in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Joseph Beyer and his team have made something very special, and we are so happy to support his work and everyone who worked on this film. Check out one of several screenings happening throughout the region and support this film where you can. Oh yeah, and there’s an episode here where we learn why Todd counted every time the word “the” was said in this film, Ryan adds another layer of hell to his security blanket and Clarice admits that Precious is fine. The broken leg thing was just a ruse to escape the well.

The Disappearance of Alice Creed
Movie friends. To quote the movie: “We are in this.” It’s getting hot in here, so take off all your sweatpants’. This episode promises the most bonkers intro yet (you actually get two of them) and if you are for some reason still sad about not having any type of special someone for that most vapid of holiday’s, Valentine’s Day…Here is a film for YOU. The takeaway from this film? Go it alone. Just make a life for you AND YOU ALONE. We know there is an obvious star in The Disappearance of Alice Creed, but the true star is Eddie Marsan. This episode also features: our filthiest moment yet; Ryan’s “Man Card” is stripped away yet again; we go hard on Greece (you guess which one); Todd has a headache; we discuss pegging, strippers and werewolves (not necessarily all related), we feature our most intense and inspiring clip, we break down a naked side-kick choke out; Ryan reveals more phobias and Todd obsesses over the Isle of Man. Is it a strip club? Listen to find out. Enjoy a movie that had to have stretched the effectiveness of any modesty wear in film. Please let us know the show is too long or order any amount of custom merch from Todd, because apparently that is what we do now.

Slice
Hello friends, Independent, attached or otherwise! We are feeling so thankful at this moment that you are here with us, watching and listening and are hopefully hungry. Or you will be because we are talking about pizza, and the appropriate ways to say it. Head’s up, one of us is INTOLERANT to word abbreviation. In an episode that concludes Ryan’s tribute to the acting talents of his HDTGM heroes, we are talking about Slice. About a movie that shows you that werewolves can also be bad drivers, we talk about, the best kind of junkie, Todd shares his dating tips (Ladies, hope you like McDonald’s), Ryan changes his name to Zazie, we guess at Prince’s body hair situation, share compelling stories about our buttholes, miss the days of movies that had theme songs, Todd has a spiritual crisis, we hope Gaffigan doesn’t sue us and promise we will NEVER, ever eat on an episode. Should we have a camera? Should we keep day-drinking? Should we do the show on crystal meth? Email us. And Detroit pizza is best…Whether you are undead or not.

Take Me
Hello movie friends and here is our disclaimer right out of the gate. We seem to think this is our most sexually charged episode yet. If that is not for you…You should listen anyway. This episode we are excited for a new year, we are excited for the episode and are happy to be doing a nice light-hearted kidnapping movie. Take Me is a movie that, by the director’s own admission is so short that “by the time you figure out it sucks, it’s over.” Happily, this episode is 3 times the length of the film. Here we love on those Duplass Brothers again and find that Chicago is that hot, steamy breeding ground for Indie films! In this episode we also discuss, the greatest love story ever captured on film (no, it’s not in this movie), the dubious circumstances of Todd’s conception, pop stars and shopping malls, the brilliance of Three’s Company, the best cereal, Tood shares a harrowing story from his Private Investigator days and high end toupee making. Is there a high-end black market for toupees? Is it dangerous? Can we handle a lawsuit right now? These questions are discussed and more. In an episode that may be a “high-end” simulation and has our most oomph and Motley Crue references yet, we ask if Ryan is a cyborg or just really hyper and can we get more music in movies like this please? Thank you so much for listening and please share with a friend. Or an army if you command one. That would help bump our listeners up [email protected] #waitwait #arewerolling #montedoroforever #thelunchroom #goodnightirene #justicefortaylor #pullingtherug #sweetsweetali #cyborgryan #shitters #firethegun #oomph

Ass Backwards
Friends, Ryan does like a theme…And he will use it. This episode solidifies his love for another podcast, which is counterintuitive to what we should be doing, but here we are. This episode, which is unabashedly gorged with garish references to other episodes, ultimately asks: How far should you go to support a friend? Is a squirrel worth it? Today we also need to skip the usual highlights; assure you the episode is great and knock out some business. 1. We mean no offense to: Graphic Designers, people who use Wi-Fi in coffee shops, Jazz, Rock and Roll, happy participants in “high manipulation organizations”, Reality shows, Reality show enthusiasts, High School Reunions, water beds, Jack Palance, all-nude strip clubs that serve food and “The Bullshit Studio System that stifles creative thought”. 2. “Homeless Norma” was played by Drew Droege. He has been in a bunch of great stuff and an upcoming show called Dick Bunny? Great. 3. The Jewel was played by Avner Eisenberg. Sort of peaked with that movie, really. 4. No one emails us really, so instead, visit: www.buffalobillshouse.com for the cinematic stay of a lifetime! Go ahead and email us and we will tell you about the current specials at the home and unique things to do in beautiful, Perryopolis, Pennsylvania.

Film Fest
Well everyone, here we have done it. We are taking on Marvel and the Metaverse and are introducing our own IndieVerse sort of situation with our movie today. This is a movie about a movie getting into a film fest with a podcast in the movie on a podcast about movies that are typically featured in film fests…Now that we’ve wasted your time with that, we bring you, Fim Fest…a movie that, based on one review, caused a man to leave his family and his life behind for a new one. In this episode, that features Todd’s most aggressive “Zen Moment”, Ryan reinforces his love for doomed 90’s TV shows, Todd wants to hire an artist to paint him, we discuss the lost fashion art of the Shortsuit, Clarice may be the daughter of Napolean Dynamite, we ask where the term “bitch slap” went? and we agree…A movie about 2 people trapped in a website would be rad. And so would Dreadmill. We also ask for a donation in this episode (for Todd’s trauma) and how about that; we have received our first donation! Thank you so much to you for supporting us crazy kids! And the only request was that we send a photo of Todd recreating the cover of Swimming Pool. We’re on it and aim to please.

The Wrong Guy
Hello Indie movie friends. Here’s hoping you are ready for a laugh after the hellish joyride that is a Lindemann show. We go from throwing fish in Moscow to “on the lam” in the Midwest? Canada? Well, Jennifer Tilly is involved and we are happy! Our movie is The Wrong Guy, and Mr. Dave Foley if you ever hear this, we want you to be very proud of this movie. Heck, it even cheered up a guy in a Hyperbaric chamber! In this episode, which may be our most nostalgic and emotional yet, Todd spits fire at Rogan again, we need Clarice to help us with a Cryer conundrum, Ryan drops a dusty old Kathy Ireland reference, we discuss the most fugitive movie, a stranger bellows from the corner (we haven’t figured it out yet) we make up a sweet verb and we get an alluring look into Todd’s improvisational mind. It’s alright, his PTSD from last episode is unfolding. Please, hold him. Or send an email hug. We thank you so much for listening and please watch the Lopez sketch from Kids in the Hall; your day will brighten.

Lindemann: Live in Moscow
Hello movie and (hopefully) music fans! On the day after Halloween, we re giving you what might be the most shocking “film” we have done yet. We endeavor to keep things interesting for you, dear listener, and today we are talking about a concert film! Ryan is using this platform for a personal share, and we are talking about an experience that gave Todd, “heart palpitations.” Friends, this is the film that could break us. And you. We do say it in the show, but yes, this concert film is very graphic and disturbing. And sexy? In this episode, we realize that Todd doesn’t listen to the show, we find our groove in sweet transitions, think about what drives a Pornographic Herman Munster, discuss the best places for your vitamins, lunch choices are dissected, and Ryan reveals that his security blanket is full of nightmares. We sure do love and cherish you listeners. To quote Todd about this movie: “There’s zero chance of me watching this again.” If you do watch it and need help, Todd can help you breathe after seeing this concert [email protected] #waitwait #arewerolling #montedoroforever #thelunchroom #flaccidsalad #manfatuated #nomoreimpressions #rammstein #hypocrisy #painband

Too Tall
Hello movie friends. Yes, so soon. We’re working hard and trying to get you as much of us as you need. In this episode we go back to basics and we just purely celebrate independent film…. And Oliva Munn. Is she in Too Tall? Nope. Emetophobic people should stay away from this film, but tall people, as well as people of other heights will also enjoy this wonderful indie that asks, “Is there anything wrong with a one-legged albino grandmother?” Todd “gets hard” (book reference) and goes on his first blind date and earns his next official title of CAPTAIN INDEPENDENT, on an episode where we also discuss the best and worst “dance faces”, various movie niches (really saying the word niche way too much), why Michelob Ultra may be the devil’s brew, Ryan celebrates another movie with a JCVD connection (WWJCVDD) and really the major takeaway from today’s episode is, watch Bikini Girls on Ice everyone. Thank you so much for listening and for deciding to wear pants today. Email us and tell us the next movie we should do. We’ll probably listen; we are easily influenced [email protected] #waitwait #arewerolling #montedoroforever #thelunchroom #feetniche #fishdogs #albinograndma #jcvd #wwjcvdd #todieishard #creepydanceface

One Small Hitch
Hello movie friends! We sure do have something special here for you. Special like finding a face up penny on the ground…attached to a case of money. This is a show about movies and boy do we talk about movies. Thankfully we do get around to talking about One Small Hitch, a rare rom com, suggested by Ryan. Only because he has an immense ego it is a movie, he had a small, little something to do with and we’ve got a few “insider baseball” stories to share about the making of this movie. So get yourself a push-up circle going and get ready as we discuss a movie that was written by the writer of Children of the Corn III: Urban Harvest. We are not f**ing around on this show. We also talk about what heats up Todd’s pants, beloved classic Chicago actors, ask – what if Frank Lloyd Webber designed houses, Ryan is also a creep, and we ask whether you can hatch a podcast? Does it have to be launched? Thank you John Burgess, the Blackstone hotel for the memories and the movies and thank you for listening to our show and being our friends. Please email us and tell us the show is too long [email protected] #waitwait #arewerolling #montedoroforever #thelunchroom #theblackstonehotel #rondean #thefugutive #sassynurse #hatchlaunch

State and Main
Independent (and attached) movie friends, we are here with another episode that asks something of you. It asks, “how’s your math?” Our math is collectively at 50% as a show so we’re doing alright. Thank you so much for listening to our show and please do let us know how we are doing, here on magic number 35! Is 35 a magic number? Who knows. In this episode, which is the movie most like “His Girl Friday” we’ve done so far, according to Ryan, we lovingly discover our “safe word”, we discuss which era of Baldwin is the best/worst era of Baldwin, we get into some deep Mamet, Ryan throws out a Zach Braff reference that is unrequited, we comment very succinctly on what it must be like to make a movie, ask what is a farce? And discuss how “Touched by an Angel” probably wouldn’t fly as a show title now. And yes, we know it was Todd Field, not Phillip Seymour Hoffman who delivered the “…space station” line in Twister. Our bad. Email us. Really, just because [email protected] #waitwait #arewerolling #montedoroforever #thelunchroom #deepmamet #coffeeandberets #broads

Rivers Edge
Welcome friends. Welcome back to the 80’s; but the dark 80’s. We’ll not be trifling with the adorable Hughes-ian musings of your Duckie’s or your Long Duck Dong’s. Here we give you gems like: “Stick your head up your ass if you want quiet time.” With this episode, we are bringing so much to bear! We are going back-to-back Keanu. We are showing Keanu and Hopper before Speed. And we’re both really confused about Back to the Future. Embarrassingly. Also ahead in this listen, Todd is rendered speechless again, we discuss 80’s staples like big sweaters, obsession with jockstraps and 80’s name-calling (maybe the best era of name-calling?), we have a Zen moment early, Ryan won’t stop talking like Crispin Glover, we confuse EDM and ASMR and we can only wish the actor from this and Teen Witch gets the proper honor he deserves for being an acting genius. Joshua John Miller, we didn’t deserve you. Thank you so much for listening and please reach out to us with your favorite show on the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network.

The Bad Batch
Hello friends and welcome to a movie that made us wonder so many things. Chief amongst them…What if all movies are the Matrix? Or…What if this is a Fast and Furious origin story? Jason Momoa is certainly channeling some Dante Reyes vibes in this movie that Todd says, “They would love this in Europe.” In this episode (brought to you by questionable parenting) Ryan takes down St. Patrick’s Day, we reminisce about Chuck Norris’ Wrangler jeans ads, we admit to maybe having the last Netflix DVD in circulation, we ponder the best music to get your limbs sawed off to, Todd shares a lascivious drug story, we wonder what sort of experience an LSD massage parlor would provide and the entire podcast is really just an homage to the movie Cliffhanger. And yes, what if the lead character was kidnapped by camels? What if? Thank you so much for listening, thank you Clarice and please connect with us via email, Facebook or hell, consider stalking us. #waitwait #arewerolling #montedoroforever #thelunchroom #nomoreimpressions #dirtyclean #beefcakeland #eroticallydisabled #noodledemonlady #sirbenkingsley

Eating Raoul
Hello indie movie friends. On this fine Independence Day, we welcome you to NOT episode 28 and urge you to, rather than eat the traditional holiday fare, consider Eating…Raoul? See what we did there? In a movie Todd describes as “funny with a Capital C” we dive into the beautiful grime of the 80’s and bring you what may be our dirtiest podcast yet. In this episode, we ask whether the original Death Race 2000 is a comedy, whether Mary is a vampire, Todd marvels at the character of Diane “She Bitch” Slutface, we remember that the Jerky Boys made a movie (rest in peace Alan Arkin…we know you are a legend and made totally amazing movies), Ryan gives way too much credit to Amazon and our potential Overlord Bezos, and we realize how hard it was to do murder in the 80’s…Especially if you’re working through the mail. Thank you for listening to our show and please engage with us over email or Facebook. And yes, we know the first 911 call was made in 1968…Now. #waitwait #arewerolling #montedoroforever #thelunchroom #80sladies #nomoreimpressions #cannibalsexmovie #fourasterisks #tengrandgrin #doristhedominatrix #allthecreeps #publicenemy

Moonwalkers
Movie friends, here we are, awash in the lingering glow of movie and comics talk and new friends made (we cannot be more thankful for our time at Cherry Capital Comic Con) and find ourselves with our first real deal conspiracy theory movie that asks…What would Ron Pearlman look like as a full-blown hippy? The answer is: Ron Pearlman is awesome in everything, sucker. Here we are with an episode that we feel may solidify Mr. Pearlman’s status as an ALIVIPMVP. In this episode, that may count as our most naked movie yet…we also: Bring back Todd’s “Spiritual Moment”, talk about The Shining way too much, love America but know the Brits rule our movies, struggle really badly with classical music, Todd reminds us if you’re French (“I love that shit”), you’re in, Ryan proposes marriage to Gerard Butler and we urge you to not put turds on your turntables. Note: The tech peeps let us know we have a little love in Belgium and hey, our movie was filmed there. Let us know you love us Belgium! #waitwait #arewerolling #montedoroforever #thelunchroom #onecopy #notacreep #renatus #silvershamrock #burythesecrets #alivipmvp #trampolines

Chloe and Theo
Friends. Family. We are so excited for Cherry Capital Comic Con weekend and that we get to be a part of it that we have another new episode for you. Remember, we’re all out of order here and references may be slightly outdated, but all hopefully charming nonetheless. In this “improvisational jazz” episode, we discuss a film that has a message. Please be kind to the Earth and each other for f**k’s sake. Once again, we see why opposites attract in our hosts as we hear why not to cross Ashton Kutcher, Ryan gets all nostalgic about Vision Video, new “uniforms" are tested out, Todd reminisces about all his hangs with Sinbad and Bruce Lee, we discuss a good trying on of clothes montage, we have a historic first assist from a caller, Ryan apparently has it in for New Yorkers, and its still depressing how much more money “that other movie” made over this one. Come on everyone. Sir Richard gets it #waitwait #arewerolling #montedoroforever #thelunchroom #onecopy #climatechangeisrealforreal #visionvideo #ahhhhhzombies #jazz #hitadime #familywww.cherrycapitalcomiccon.com

ABOUT THIS SHOW
A Little Independent is a movie podcast hosted by two lifelong movie-lovers sharing their love of independent, obscure, or just plain weird movies. Hosts Ryan Buck and Todd Burnaska are long-time friends and film fanatics who have been on their respective missions to find and share with one another movies that don’t get all the attention…or the CGI. And some that might just be a little too strange to exist even at all. Alas, Todd and Ryan have been discovering and discussing these types of movies for years and now they are thrilled to share the experience with you. Yeah, it may get weird...But you might also make a new friend.
