After an enthralling first instalment, we're now jumping into 'Part TWO' of this week's @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/, and we have more horror themes for you!!!

Sometimes, wires get crossed, and things don't go to plan, BUT we still always aim to deliver, and that's exactly what we did. Tom Brumpton did his thing and got a streaking filmmaker to come through with his award winning short film, which fuses environmental issues and horror to great effect. THEN, we sit down for an interesting though, short chat to really get into the driving factor for the story, and overall ethos of the production company and style of storytelling!!!

The @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ express keeps on keeping on, baby, and we’re locked in for another ‘TWO Parter’!

In 'Part ONE', we go high school drama/romance thanks to Great Pacific Media, Blue Fox Entertainment, Tubi. THEN, in the cinema Pixar Animation Studios & Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures hits us with environmental issues & heart that doesn’t preach. There's a top notch psychological horror from Recorded Picture Company, Skopia Film, HanWay Films, Magnolia Pictures, Signature Entertainment that asks an interesting question. PLUS, New Line Cinema, Nocturna, Warner Bros. Pictures bring us high octane recompense for past wrongs. Wrapped in the supernatural and badarse fighting!

Hopefully you're still with us, as we get into 'Part THREE' of @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/, which is a deep one!!!

It's all thanks to the GREAT AJ Feuerman, who never disappoints. This time, she had a new indie feature that wants you to ask questions and contemplate that line between reality and art, and hierarchical trust & responsibility! THEN, we get to sit down with the writer and one of the stars of the piece to really dig into all the aspects that bring this film to life. Which gives us a really fascinating 90 minutes of insights!!! Watch the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/co0kNYuda5I

No mistakes people, @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ is BACK in Cleveland for more Festival goodness!

Once again, London Flair PR came through and it was actually Shaimaa Khan who organised our first chat (episode 383 https://www.podcaphilia.com/echo-chamber/ep383) with our returning guest Radha Mehta https://youtu.be/A-CceLRehws So it's great we get to do it all again, for her brand new short film, which is having it's North American Premiere at the 50th Cleveland International Film Festival. If you dug the first convo, people, this one is sooooo immersive in storytelling soul, Radha is sonically hypnotising. Like her work, it's an incredible human embrace, you will not want to miss a second!!! Watch the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/IIYQNbbm_pk

Well, @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ is off to another Festival, this time in The Forest City!!!

It's the 50th Cleveland International Film Festival, and thanks to Anthony Hon at London Flair PR, we have a short film that takes an intimate look at immigration life, through the lens of an undocumented chef. THEN, we chat with the writer / director behind the project, to explore motivations, inspirations, storytelling and a lot more!!! Watch the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/V83pmJ0x9Hs

Yes, people, @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ is back with more 'Film Festival' coverage, and this time we're headed to Houston!!!

The wonderful Cynthia Amsden is to thank for our sojourn to the 'Huston Underwater Film Festival (HUFF)', where we look at TWO short form documentaries which explore completely different aspects of the ocean. THEN, we get to conversate with the man who has committed his life to bringing the wonders beneath the waves to those who haven't experienced their joy in person. We get his origin story, what drives his desire to tell these stories, the challenges, the learning and evolution. Plus so much more, this is one you won't want to put down!!!

This year's 'BFI Flare' @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ coverage wasn't what we were hoping for to mark the 40th anniversary (a LOT of flaky creatives) BUT, we made it work!

HUGE thanks to Media House Global's Fagun Furia, who came through with a really interesting project. A documentary that pulled back the curtain on a community that never gets talked about. THEN, giving us the opportunity to sit down with a first time director, but experienced storyteller, to really get into what it took to gain trust and shine a light on these individuals and the legacy of their community!!! Watch the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/JrVk8uWlk6I

For the first time, @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ ventures into those hallowed Austin vibes, with a little South by Southwest action! And if we’re gonna do it, what a way to get things popping!!!!

The beauty of expansive, long-form conversation, is that it can really get under the skin of topics many just skate over, and demystify preconceived notions. So when Falco's Imani Charles came with the opportunity to speak with Maya Annik Bedward about her feature directorial debut, which was dealing with topics & notions not normally discussed, of course we were eager to get that done! And what an interesting, expansive confab was had. Maya was incredibly open about the whole process, giving her entire team their flowers and talking about Haiti & Vodou with so much care, and passion, it was clear she was truly meant to shine a light on these topics! This is most definitely not one to miss, people!!! Watch the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/ugoWcj41RRE

Okay, people, so the UFC is heading to Manitoba, Winnipeg in fact. Canada got itself 12 great fights, and the Canada Life Center is going to be rocking!

We got a vet against a prospect in the headline bout, as Mike Malott is going up against Gilbert Burns. The Co-main is fire too, as Kyler Phillips goes up against Charles Jourdain. There's several debuts too, with Mandel Nallo, Márcio Barbosa, Julien Leblanc, Gökhan Saricam, and Jamie Siraj. Plus a host of fighters on the bubble, so who's going to take the opportunity to shine!?!

Will this be Canada's day to shine, well, @ChinCheckPod (ep 317) did what it does and broke everything down, so you can figure out what flag to fly while you watch ‘UFC Fight Night: Burns vs Malott’!?!

DAMN, it's all done, the UFC took over Miami, and yo, what a great night, right, we had some incredible fights! It's the fourth numbered event of the year, and it was not a disappointment!!!

We lost fights leading up to the show, BUT, what we got, 12 lit fights....well, on the real, 11 great fights. Even though one was a stinker, the Headliner, DAMN, and Co-main were fire too. Yo, this was great, this was great, people!.

And now, with @ChinCheckPod (ep 316) you get to relive that greatness. We'll go back over these incredible fights, and celebrate all the "OHMYGOSH" moments from 'UFC 327: Procházka vs Ulberg', so settle in and let's go!!!

There's been a LOT of talk about the start of the Paramount Era and whether the cards have been legit. Regardless where you stand on this, there is NO question that any sensible Floridian will be hot stepping to Miami's Kaseya Center, cause the 'UFC' is coming in with fire this weekend!

We may have lost the Flyweight Title fight, but damn, this card is jam packed with name recognition fighters! I mean, the 'Prelims' could be a 'Main Card' anywhere else (especially Netflix)! Opening up with Tatiana Suarez vs Loopy Godinez, and topping with Patrício Pitbull vs Aaron Pico, damn!!! There are a LOT of questions too, can Cub Swanson bookend his career in that perfect way, can Pico reach the potential many have put on his shoulders, will Chris Padilla, MarQuel Mederos or Azamat Murzakanov be the next break out star, can Suarez, Dominick Reyes, and Paulo Costa get back to the title picture!?!

We have 12 fights to break down and you know @ChinCheckPod (ep 315) has a thing or two to say about the vacant Light Heavyweight strap. So get ready for another hot preview, this time for 'UFC 327: Procházka vs Ulberg'!!!!

After an all action card in Seattle, it's back to home base at the Meta Apex, before the next BIG numbered event!

With the addition of what's now the first fight of the night, it's 13 deep for Vegas, and everything is putting to the 'come up'! With fighters on the potential cusp or potential axe, there's plenty on the line Saturday night. We have a couple of debuts, a fighter returning to the fold, and a few others from long-term injury. So the question across the board is "who has what it takes to get to the next level?"!!!!

As we do, @ChinCheckPod (ep 313) is here to break everything, there's intrigue f'sure, so here's the skinny on ‘UFC Fight Night: Moicano vs Duncan’, who you got!?!

All roads lead to Seattle's Climate Pledge Arena, as the UFC touches down Saturday, for a night packed with intriguing match-ups!

With a number of pivotal fights, there is the opportunity for fighters to realise their potential. To stake a claim, and maybe those first steps to greatness! Will Navajo Stirling be able to emulate the success of his teammates, can Alexia Thainara continue to impress? There are a few hometown fighters looking to shine, none more so than Michael Chiesa, in the featured bout. Can he go out one final time as an ultimate fighter, or will Niko Price rain on his parade and potentially save his roster spot!?!

There are 13 fights taking place, all with their own nuances, and @ChinCheckPod (ep 311) is here to break them down so you can just sit back, and enjoy the ‘UFC Fight Night: Adesanya vs Pyfer’ spectacle!!!
