We're now getting into 'Part TWO' of this week's @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ podcast!!!
This is another one that came from an interaction on socials (just reach out, people!), and it spawned a sprawling chat that delves into the full journey of film production. A HUGE takeaway for creatives here is, we talk about failure and coming back from that. How you use it to shape those next steps. It's a raw, honest exploration that hits the lows, but also the highs, the achievements, the joy of collaboration and finding the spark of a story. This isn't 'Chin Check', but we touch up some MMA and Boxing too! A really great, and thorough confab that you won't want to miss!!! Watch the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/OrkzPMUlH9s
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.
We’re dropping the first (of probably many) of our bitesize editions of 'Echoes From The Void!' #EFTV!!!
We have a new Apple TV sci-fi show, which adapts an award winning novella series.
'Murderbot' is written & directed by Chris Weitz & Paul Weitz, based on the ‘The Murderbot Diaries’ by Martha Wells.

To mark this most auspicious annual date, 'Echoes From The Void!' #EFTV is getting the 'AJ Treatment'!!!
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! We get the story of how it all came together, the hurdles faced, the choices behind casting and so much more. A REALLY great confab, that I'm sure you'll enjoy!!!

Well, who'd have figured that 'Echoes From The Void!' #EFTV would be looking at true crime!!!
It's all down to Kelli McNeil-Yellen who came with an offer I couldn't refuse (she sent an e-mail an asked lol)! BUT, really glad she did, cause this new documentary is legit!

Just one bit of coverage, BUT, this one is something special! We have a documentary that peels back the curtain on identity, cultural appropriation, stigmatization, and discrimination around tattoos in the Philippines. It also explores through the director, what it means to be Filipino in Canada and the Philippines. THEN, we sit down with the director of the film, and his producer, to really get some insights into the source of the feelings, why the documentary made sense, what it was like being back in the Philippines, and traveling to Buscalan. As well as the experience of being around Apo Whang-od and her very first apprentice Grace Palicas!

After its recent globetrotting antics, the 'UFC' has come back home, to the T-Mobile Arena, in Las Vegas for the first of TWO October PPVs!
With two debuts on a stacked card of 14 fights, this card has an abundance of "oh damn!" throughout! Standouts on the 'Early Prelims' are Chris Gutiérrez vs Farid Basharat & Ramiz Brahimaj vs Austin Vanderford. On the 'Prelims' proper you have Edmen Shahbazyan vs André Muniz & Patchy Mix vs Jakub Wikłacz. And the 'Main Cards' featured bout, Jiří Procházka vs Khalil Rountree Jr could headline it's own card!!!
With soooooo many close fights, @ChinCheckPod (ep 275) has done the work, so you don't have too! We have insight & fun, as we peel back 'UFC 320: Ankalaev vs Pereira 2' to all its glory!!!
From 'Mexican Independence Day' celebrations at 'Noche', the 'UFC' juggernaut has made its way down under, to Perth, Australia!
We started at 14, but due to illness, we'll have 12 on the night, BUT that's still 12 great match-ups that will have the RAC Arena going wild! The Australians are repping hard, with a 11 fighters from the region looking to shine!
So, @ChinCheckPod (ep 273) has you covered with all the match-ups for 'UFC on ESPN+ 118: Ulberg vs Reyes', PLUS, we look back at 'Week 7' of 'Dana White's Contender Series'!!!!
We're a bit late....BUT, what a weekend fights, the 'Mexican Independence Day' celebrations were on point f'sure!!! Everything started with 'Noche UFC 3' and then the bookend was 'Riyadh Season - Álvarez vs Crawford'!
The 'UFC' came with 14 fights, 7 ended with a finish, and there were plenty of surprises along the way. Underdogs stepped up in a BIG way, AND the spinning elbow returned!!! The 'boxing' gave us answers to a two year question and sealed the legacy of a 'G.O.A.T.'!
So, @ChinCheckPod (ep 272) went 8 - 6 and 2 - 0 with our predictions, and we're bringing you ALL the highlights....ALONG with all the action from 'Week 6' of 'Dana White's Contender Series'!!!
Every September, the fight world gears up for 'Mexican Independence Day' celebrations, and in 2023 the UFC started their now annual 'Noche UFC' events! It was due to be in Guadalajara, but circumstances had it moved to San Antonio, Texas.
Though the venues changed, the night is still stacked with some of Mexico's current and rising stars. As well as those looking to take their shine for themselves.
Not only is @ChinCheckPod (ep 271) taking a look at all the match-ups for 'UFC on ESPN+ 117: Lopes vs Silva', BUT, also the legends of the boxing world collide that same night (just after the UFC). So, we are also previewing the 'Co-main' and 'Headliner' for 'Riyadh Season - Álvarez vs Crawford'!!!!
Well people, the Accor Arena, and Paris as a whole was most definitely rocking Saturday night, as 'UFC on ESPN+ 116: Imavov vs Borralho' was a booming success!
This was a night for the French, as they had a clean sweep! There were upsets, as well as spectacular finishes. Which were the dish of the day, as only three fights went the distance.
The podcast went 10 - 3, so another good week, and now @ChinCheckPod (ep 270) gets to bring you all the great moments of 'UFC Paris' as well as the action from 'DWCS' week 5!!!!
You’ve had the first hit, now it’s time for the final dose of @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ for the week!!!
‘Part TWO’ is all thanks to Susan Engel, who was kind enough to hook things up for this new film, which is looking to shine a light on erotic thrillers and Giallo films. Using the sunny backdrop of Malta to weave this tale of duplicity, crime, and seduction, viewers will be transfixed! WE also get to speak with one of the leads, who also produces AND helped devise the actual story for the film! This was a really great back & forth, that I know you’re going to enjoy!!!
