195: Hot Fuzz w/ Clark Collis
Hey Film Buds of the world,
This week we continue International Cinema month with returning guest Clark Collis as we talk about Edgar Wright's Hot Fuzz. Clark joined us in September to talk about his new book You've Got Red on You (out now) all about the making of Shaun of the Dead, the first installment of the Cornetto Trilogy. He's a brilliant writer and a true wealth of information.
We hope everyone is enjoying our journey around the globe, and that our listeners in the United Kingdom enjoy our celebration of this English gem.
If you haven't already, check out last week's episode, and as always,
Thanks y'all

197: Eight Crazy Nights + A Rugrats Chanukah
Happy Holidays Film Buds,
With December comes the beginning of our Holiday Movie season, and we begin with Hanukkah.
Hanukkah is a beautiful holiday found in Judaism, a religious tradition and holiday under represented in film. To expand on people's understanding we decided to tackle Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights and A Rugrats Chanukah.
We also talk about our Vintage shopping, What We're Watching, and Clark Collis's new book, available for sale.
Thanks for listening y'all and Happy Hanukkah,
The Film Buds
