Show Notes
Joe Lynch and Becca Howard are the hosts of A Couple Of Old Fashioneds, a filmed movie podcast where they surprise each other with double features and talk through their reactions and analysis of the films.
They join us in the Crypt for a crossover episode about how their show started, discovering movies together, and why introducing someone to a film they’ve never seen is exciting.
We talk film bros vs real movie fans, screenwriting, film school, fan fiction, and learning by watching movies.
Joe and Becca also break down working together on Suitable Flesh, low-budget filmmaking, bad crews, editing, and staying sane in the industry. We also get into Vegas, dive bars, Joe Bob’s Jamboree, pitching projects, anxiety, and how the novelty of Hollywood eventually wears off.
