We were honored to sit down with actor Bo Hopkins for a discussion of the films from his lengthy career that have most influenced him.  Bo is best known for his roles in American Graffiti, More American Graffiti, The Wild Bunch, Midnight Express and television's Dynasty and The Rockford Files.  He has also appeared in countless other films and television shows, with appearances ranging from Bonanza and Gunsmoke to Charlie's Angels and Murder She Wrote.  His latest film project, EVElyn Rising, begins filming soon.  Enjoy hearing about his storied career, as we discuss why good liars make good actors, working with your heroes, being confronted by your own movie dialogue, and why Peter Jackson should meet "Stonewall" Jackson.

We recently met with Dan Povenmire, Creator/Executive Producer of Disney Channel's hit animated series "Phineas and Ferb" and the upcoming animated series "Milo Murphy's Law," for a delightful chat about the films that have influenced his identity and his work.  Listen in to this illuminating and highly amusing episode, as we talk about letters from Steven Spielberg, explaining 1977, the frame count of humor, and the spiritual grandfather of "Phineas and Ferb".

Jennifer Acuna, Retail Merchandising and Fashion Design instructor with the Regional Occupational Program, joined us for an entertaining conversation about the films that have most influenced her.  Listen in as we talk about Popeye squiggles, horror movies and the single girl, escaping into books through movies, and the moral ambiguity of heroes.

We sat down with Dan Shippey, Director of Breed's Hill Institute and historical advisor on the AMC series Turn: Washington's Spies, for a wide-ranging and very fun discussion of the films that have most influenced him.  Join us for this enjoyable episode, as we talk about George Washington's profile, pretending to be Errol Flynn, the truth about James Bond, and the dangers of leaving your hat behind.

We were thrilled to sit down with Jeff "Swampy" Marsh, Creator/Executive Producer of Disney Channel's hit animated series "Phineas and Ferb" and the upcoming animated series "Mikey Murphy's Law", for an in-depth and very entertaining discussion about the five films that have most influenced him.  We also discussed his volunteer work with the amazing charity organization A Walk on Water, which provides water therapy through guided surf instruction to special needs kids and their siblings.

Join us for this very fun episode, as we talk about the Robert Preston appreciation society, how Steve McQueen influenced "Phineas and Ferb", lying your way into promotions, and never underestimating your audience.

We welcome artist Mike Matola to the podcast for a lively discussion of the movies he feels have most influenced the way he approaches the world.  Mike's film-inspired artwork is pure delight.  Be sure to click the links, below, to follow him on social media and visit his website to see his latest pieces.  Listen in as we discuss the truth about Cameron Frye, the real purpose of the Kobayashi Maru, cutting the bridge you're standing on, and the joy of loving someone who can make you jump off a cliff.

Christopher Tate is a long-time friend of the host of Movies Made Me, but his list of influential movies still offers up some surprises.  Listen in to the rambling conversation that comes from many years of familiarity and learn about candy bars for sharks, the hell of war, and the reality of happily-ever-afters.  As a bonus, enjoy both guest and host completely misremembering important plot points of a favorite movie (see if you can spot the error). 

We recently sat down with our youngest guest to date, Karina Chiu, to discuss the movies that have most influenced her.  We were surprised to find that her film choices were not at all what we expected.  Come along for our discussion about holding on to your identity, the lure of a black and white world, unhappy endings, and paper cranes.

Join us for a listen to episode 3 of the Movies Made Me podcast.  Our guest is Michelle Nava, college English instructor and film fan.  In the comfort of Michelle's living room, we chatted about the movies that have most influenced who she is today.  Some of her choices may surprise you, so listen in as we discuss her favorite Spanish Inquisition, inappropriate films for 3 year-olds, and sacrificing everything for the mafia.

Rebecca Evans, host of The Art, on which she interviews creatives about the art with which they live their lives, sits down with me to talk about the movies that made her who she is today.

As a podcaster, sometimes things come down to the wire...and then go haywire. I was all set to bring you a conversation with writer/director Maggie Levin this week, but we were recording at the last minute and I was going to scramble to edit and get the episode out on time. But, life intervened and I came down with a tremendous cold (coughing, pink eye...the works) and had to cancel out of all my plans on a very packed weekend (except Avengers: Endgame, I still used my ticket to see that before everyone started spouting spoilers). But, you're still due an episode, so past guest and head of Dragon Wagon Radio Jake Lloyd and I recorded from separate locations to bring you a light, free-ranging conversation. I hope you'll enjoy it. And Maggie Levin should be my guest on the next episode...if things don't go haywire again.
