Episode 9: Hereditary Clones (Ft. Josh Schilling)

Join your host Justin Stillmaker for Connect The Dots, a brand new Network Podcast, as he talks about the love/hate relationship between art, money, and more. 

First up in art & money: TikTok interviews. From groups like The Giggly Squad to Chicken Shop, TikTok has become a hub for brand deals & celebrity interviews. But why now? As the SAG-AFTRA strike continues, join Justin as he dives into these two very connected issues.

Justin is joined by writer, producer, and his favorite A.D of all time, Josh Schilling! The two talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly of the film and tv scene, as well as how Josh became an Assitant Director and the challenges that come along with it.

For the subgenre of the week: Hereditary Clones. Horror movies like The Night House (2020), Saint Maud (2019), and even Halloween Kills (2021) attempt to follow in Herediatry’s footsteps but fall short in their execution.

The winner of art this week? The one and only, William Friedkin! In honor of this film giant, Justin highlights some of his greatest works including The Exorcist (1973), The French Connection (1971), and To Live and Die in L.A. (1985).

To end the episode, Justin shares a nostalgic recommendation for your film viewing pleasure.
