Episodes

  1. The BTS of the BTS

    Rocco and GC attend a creative industry mixer hosted by Future Bright Productions, meet some peeps, drop by The Edison Diner (Pizza BURGER!), and James "J" Sullivan steals the podcast with the performance of a lifetime, and Rocco might get a physical this decade.

  2. EP007: Misguided Mutants: Revenge vs. Responsibility or Whatever...

    Reviewing a movie when only one of us has actually seen it. Supergirl ramble, Spider-Man web talk, and a dude playing a dude, playing a dude, disguised as that same dude, who probably could’ve been The Crow. Just another completely focused episode of Hollywood New Jersey.

  3. EP006: You Odyssey this Obsession

    GC and Rocco decide to revive the podcast with a minor life and movie update, while fumbling through thoughts of the critically acclaimed Obsession and Nolan's Odyssey.

  6. EP003: Smith Happens

    We tried to pitch Kevin Smith a movie… a few times. This is our origin story. And maybe our villain arc.

  7. EP002: We Fired Our Friends (and ramble about Fantastic Four & Happy Gilmore 2

    Welcome back to Hollywood, New Jersey — the only podcast bold enough to try and fund a $1 million indie Christmas horror Comedy movie without actually having the money yet… but with plenty of opinions, old scripts, and emotional damage. This week: We fire Coop and Manny (don’t worry, they’ll be...

  8. EP001: Hollywood New Jersey–Filmmaking in the Shadows of Giants

    Welcome to the first episode of Hollywood, New Jersey — a podcast, a documentary, a variety show, and a creative experiment rolled into one.
