Episode 582
Ben Leonberg
Director: Good Boy

Director Ben Leonberg (and Indy) drop by to talk about the most unique and original film this year, "Good Boy".

"Good Boy" is about a man that moves into a new home that has supernatural forces lurking in the shadows. As dark entities start to threaten him, his brave dog comes to the rescue. Make no mistake, this is a horror movie but it is also most certainly about the beauty of dogs and unmatched loyalty. 

Ben and I talk about dogs, making this amazing movie, the fact this is Indy's love story,  whether dogs should be nominated for academy awards, why people are so protective of dogs and so much more.

Welcome, Ben Leonberg.

Episode 481
"The King's Guard"
Peter Ellis.

Peter Ellis is a immensely popular for many of his viral moments as a member of the King's Guard.

Peter and I discuss his adoption at 4 years old, his immense popularity, his many viral moments of kindness, what the King's Guard is and why he left. His affinity for animals and horses, working with Autistic children, meeting Princess Anne and Liam Neeson, people that are disrespectful and have no boundaries with The King's Guard,  his partner Olivia and so much more.

The regiments that make up the Royal Guard are some of the oldest and most prestigious infantry regiments in the British Army. The Grenadier Guards specialize in light infantry provision and may also serve in operational roles overseas. In these duties, they wear the popular red ceremonial uniform and bearskin hats that the Royal Guard are famous for. In this role, their primary function is the protection duty for the royal residence. They stand guard outside the palace in order to protect the royal residents from any harm.

Meet, Peter Ellis.

Episode 480
"Quantum of Solace", "Narcos" and "Midnight Family"
Actor: Joaquín Cosío

Joaquín Cosío is one of the best actors on the planet. His work in Narcos alone is some of the best acting you will ever see on screen. It still gives me chills.

Joaquin Cosío was born in Nayarit, Mexico. His training as an actor began in 1983 and has continued growing and developing ever since. In 1994, Cosío wrote his first stage play, titled Tomochic: Or the day the world ended, which was awarded the National Literature Prize. Performing in over 50 plays and over 600 live performances, his stage career reached a new milestone in 1999 when he was hand selected to join the National Theater Company. This led Cosío to make the decision to move to Mexico City permanently and focus on becoming a full-time actor. He has been working non-stop ever since as one of Mexico's most respected actors of stage and screen.

He made his film debut in 2001 in the film The Blue Room and he has since participated in over 30 feature films and several shorts. Cosío played a multi-episode role in the HBO comedy Eastbound & Down. He played General Medrano, one of the main villains in the James Bond film Quantum of Solace, and acted alongside Benicio del Toro in Oliver Stone's gritty thriller, Savages. Cosío appeared in Robert Duvall's A Night in Old Mexico, and in Disney's 2013 filmThe Lone Ranger, starring Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer.

He is absolutely unnerving and terrifying as Don Neto in Narcos. Role after Role he is truly a treasure on screen.

We talk about his newest role as Ramon in Apple TV+ "Midnight Family" dropping September 25th.

Welcome, Joaquín Cosío

Episode 479
"Midnight Family", "Babylon" and "Saw X"
Actors: Renata Vaca and Diego Calva

Renata Vaca is a very talented actress who was just terrific in Saw X. 
Diego Calva is also a phenomenal actor stealing the show in "Babylon" along side Margot Robbie, Brad Pitt and Tobey Maguire.

Both star in the intense and extremely watchable "Midnight Family" premiering September 25th on Apple TV.

Inspired by the award-winning documentary of the same name, “Midnight Family” follows Marigaby Tamayo, an ambitious and gifted medical student by day, who spends her nights saving lives throughout a sprawling, contrasted and fascinating Mexico City aboard her family’s privately owned ambulance. Along with her father Ramón and her siblings Marcus and Julito, Marigaby serves a population of millions by tackling extreme medical emergencies to make a living.

Two wonderful actors who I enjoyed speaking with.
Great show.

Episode 478
"The Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot"
Actor: Nika King.

King’s talents as a comedian and actor are versatile and dynamic. She is best known for her comedic abilities but in her new breakout role playing Leslie, on the Emmy winning HBO series Euphoria opposite Zendaya and Storm Reid, King showcases a much more dramatic side of herself. In this role, King pulls from her early life watching family members battle addiction and triumphantly overcoming. It is from that resolve and resilience that King offers a dramatic perspective and newfound depth in this character.
Nika has recently starred and executive produced her first feature film, Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot being released in theaters nationwide on July 4th.  Inspired by the powerful true story, this film follows Donna and Reverend Martin as they ignite a fire in the hearts of their rural church to embrace kids in the foster system that nobody else would take. By doing the impossible--adopting 77 children--this East Texas community proved that, with real, determined love, the battle for America's most vulnerable can be won.King’s comedy has landed her roles on Kevin Hart’s Guide to Black, the Just for Laughs Festival in Montreal, Canada and hosting Nika King & Friends, a monthly show at the Improv Lab in Hollywood CA. She has also act, wrote and produced on award winning webseries Funny Married Stuff, which is currently streaming on KweliTV. While King has a passion for acting and producing, her talents do not end there.
