John Cusack, Jack Black, and Why Bands Need Podcasts Too | We Came From Celluloid 027
Brian Pritchard and I dig into a question I've been chewing on since I rebuilt wecamefromcelluloid.com: stand-up comedians built huge audiences off podcasts and parasocial relationships, so why can't bands do the same? Brian pushes back. Liking us as people doesn't mean you'll like the music. We...

Staying in the Game, Niche Audiences, and How We Actually Met | We Came From Celluloid 016
There's a voice memo I've never sent anyone. It's from a parking lot outside a venue in Columbus, some year that doesn't matter, and it's just me going "I think I just met my guy." I don't know why I'm telling you this. I just know that this episode ends with how Brian and I actually met, buried…

The Great Conversation, Musical Collaboration, and the Singular Weirdness of Werner Herzog | We Came From Celluloid 012
Brian sent me a voice memo recently. Just a rough idea, heavy, intentional, something he'd written specifically to sound like a metal song. Which doesn't sound remarkable until you know Brian, and then it's actually a signal that something has shifted. His old bandmate Max is coming back around....
