Things get REALLY interesting with 'Part THREE' of @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ as we get to look at a different aspect of the film industry!!!

As well as a new indie studio that is looking to break down barriers. PLUS, she had one of the co-founders of the studio, who also was one of the stars of the short. A tremendous opportunity for greater insight into the industry. So we got it done, and the episode does not disappoint!!! Watch the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/L5mGOjcMA-c
More bitesize #EFTV coming at you, it would seem!!!
Apple TV+'s latest sci-fi series is coming to a close, So we have our overview of the last eight episodes (we looked at the first two here: https://www.podcaphilia.com/eftv/ep196) for you to digest, and see if you think it holds up to the award winning novella series.
'Murderbot' is written & directed by Chris Weitz & Paul Weitz, based on ‘The Murderbot Diaries’ by Martha Wells. A self-hacking security construct (Alexander Skarsgård) who is horrified by human emotion yet drawn to its vulnerable clients (Noma Dumezweni, David Dastmalchian, Sabrina Wu, Tattiawna Jones, Akshay Khanna, Tamara Podemski). Murderbot must hide its free will and complete a dangerous assignment when all it really wants is to be left alone to watch futuristic soap operas and figure out its place in the universe.
Here's our next bitesize edition of #EFTV!!!
Apple TV have adapted a true crime podcast, into a new 9 part drama series.
'Smoke' is directed by Kari Skogland & Joe Chappelle, and written by Dennis Lehane & Adriane McCray, based 'Firebug' by Truth Podcasting Corp. Tensions rise as the search for suspects begins. Michelle Calderone pumps the brakes on her personal life. Dave Gudsen gets creative.

That's right people, the ever great AJ Feuerman came through with something slightly different this time out. Instead of a movie, we're taking a look at a new TV pilot, AND sitting down with not only the creative mind behind, BUT he also stars in the show!

Well, who'd have figured that 'Echoes From The Void!' #EFTV would be looking at true crime!!!

THEN, we get to break bread with one of the directors and architects of the project, and find out what is the draw of the genre, why this case, and why structure things in this way!

After all the excitement of Chicago's PPV, the Octagon now finds itself in China's Shanghai Indoor Stadium!
Though there aren't all the marquee names from the previous week, this 'UFC Fight Night' still has pivotal match-ups. The featured bout could help clear-up the next challenger for the Heavyweight crown, and the 'Co-main' most definitely has Featherweight title implications!
So sit back, and let @ChinCheckPod (ep 267) preview all the potential fisty cuffs for 'UFC on ESPN+: Walker vs Zhang'!!!!
We said questions would be answered after 'UFC 319', and holy moly, they were answered ten fold!!!
Similar to 'UFC on ESPN 52' back in December 2023, we had back-to-back explosive finishes, BUT this time around there was more significance behind them. An 'Ultimate Fighter' champion was crowned, a number one contender was ordained and everybody wants to be a nerd!
Things ended 6 - 6, but when you have a PPV packed with so much, it's a good night. Plus it means that @ChinCheckPod (ep 266) has a LOT to recap as we dive into 'UFC 319: du Plessis vs. Chimaev'!!!!
BIG questions will be answered on Saturday night at the Chicago's United Center, as the UFC hits town for the August PPV!
There's a high profile debut, 'Ultimate Fighter' champions will be crowned, a contender gets a crazy springboard, AND the championship strap is on the line, with everyone wondering.....can the champions style continue to confuse & work, can the contender survive in deep waters!?!
We try and answer all these questions on @ChinCheckPod (ep 285) and give you all the insight into 'UFC 319: du Plessis vs. Chimaev'. As well as recap 'Week 1' of 'Dana White's Contender Series'!!!!
When you have a PPV on the horizon people often overlook a 'Fight Night'. NEVER fall into that trap, cause 'UFC Vegas 109' had some of the craziest stoppages we've seen!
The 'co-main event' changed a few times, but what we ended up with was a war, and the 'headliner', hot damn!!!
After going 9 - 3 (that's right people, we were on fire), we're gonna relive all the overhands, uppercuts, leg kicks, and definitely those KO's, so let @ChinCheckPod (ep 264) take you back to 'UFC on ESPN: Dolidze vs Hernandez'!!!!
It's another turn at the UFC Apex on Saturday night, as twenty four fighters get ready to go at it!
The card has had a few shifts and pivots, BUT, there are still 12 intriguing match-ups ready to capture the attention!
It's never easy picking, but @ChinCheckPod (ep 263) is ready to preview the heck out of 'UFC on ESPN: Dolidze vs Hernandez', so you can just sit back and enjoy!!!
Things get tense and psychological in 'Part TWO' of this week's @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ and we suggest you leave the lights on!!!
Things often scare you the most when they come at you from angels that are close to your reality or pose questions that could, in theory, come up. So when Susan Engel came through with a new indie joint that does exactly those things, we're off to the races! PLUS, there was the opportunity to sit down with the creative mind behind it. Which is gold, cause who doesn't wonder how these things are born. So settle in for a fantastic, insightful and fun chat that you're bound to enjoy!!!
