A Little Independent

Hey Chris, here is a "teaser" for Season 2 - which not unironically is also tragically out dated already. We'll see you with Episode 1 of Season 2 of A Little Independent January 1st...Or the 2nd. Not any later than the 5th or 6th probably.

Hello movie friends! We here at A Little Independent podcast have gone ahead and done what you were too afraid to ask for...We have put together a little recap episode of all of our Season 1 highlights, Chris. There were some wild rides in season one and catch phrases that have inexplicably not made it on shirts that have brought about World Peace yet. And because your doting gentlemen here at ALI...

Hello friends and welcome to another little bonus from your friends here at A Little Independent. However it all worked out, here is a bonus episode for you to cap off Season 1. This should be an episode (and basically is) about the glory that is Keith David. In our second ecologically charged offering and harkening back to the glory days when a cassette tape could drive an entire film, we talk ab...

Aloha movie friends! This is the greatest day of your life, you just don’t know it yet. When we conceived of this podcast, there were a few guiding lights; North stars if you will. We say this name in reverence quite often on this show and we’ve referenced this film countless times. We live this film and celebrate this filmmaker unequivocally. The name is Sidaris and the film is Hard Ticket to Haw...

Hello friends of movies odd and small and all things strange. Let’s get this out of the way. We love you. We are very thankful that you listen to our show and we hope you get something positive from every listening experience. No jokes. No quip. Just honesty from us Midwestern nerds. Here we have an episode that yet again, peels back more and more layers from our hosts and we give and give, possib...

Hello Independents! Everyone messes up and so have we. Well, we did it back a long way, so I guess you can call this a lost/salvaged episode. We wanted to give out a little bonus for waiting so long between episodes while we got our shit (more) together. Anyway, we had some audio issues and got it as fixed up as we can. Let us say, our intentions are always positive and good. The product is a bit...

Hello Independents (can we annex that from Firefly?) and yes, it has been a minute. It has been several. But trust us, we’ve been working and working towards some cool stuff. But in doing so, we’ve recorded some real doozies and have something coming up that, if you’re wearing socks, will knock them off. But here we have what we love most. An episode and a movie that asks the hard questions like:...

Hello friends and lovers of all movies not shitty. Once again, this week’s episode comes to you, our friends, with special energy behind it. The point of this show is to celebrate independent cinema and all who make and support such films. Well, we got to meet a bona fide filmmaker here in our community and we are so excited to share…that he’s been a tremendous person to us. He’s shared some of hi...

Hello devotees of beautiful and purest cinema. This week’s episode comes to us all with special energy behind it. The point of this show is to celebrate independent cinema and all who make and support such films. Well, we got to meet a bona fide filmmaker here in our community and we are so excited to share…that he’s been a tremendous person to us. He’s shared some of his story in his journey in m...

Movie friends.  To quote the movie: “We are in this.”  It’s getting hot in here, so take off all your sweatpants’.  This episode promises the most bonkers intro yet (you actually get two of them) and if you are for some reason still sad about not having any type of special someone for that most vapid of holiday’s, Valentine’s Day…Here is a film for YOU.  The takeaway from this...

Hello friends, Independent, attached or otherwise! We are feeling so thankful at this moment that you are here with us, watching and listening and are hopefully hungry. Or you will be because we are talking about pizza, and the appropriate ways to say it. Head’s up, one of us is INTOLERANT to word abbreviation. In an episode that concludes Ryan’s tribute to the acting talents of his HDTGM heroes,...

Hello movie friends and here is our disclaimer right out of the gate. We seem to think this is our most sexually charged episode yet. If that is not for you…You should listen anyway. This episode we are excited for a new year, we are excited for the episode and are happy to be doing a nice light-hearted kidnapping movie. Take Me is a movie that, by the director’s own admission is so short that “by...

Friends, Ryan does like a theme…And he will use it. This episode solidifies his love for another podcast, which is counterintuitive to what we should be doing, but here we are. This episode, which is unabashedly gorged with garish references to other episodes, ultimately asks: How far should you go to support a friend? Is a squirrel worth it? Today we also need to skip the usual highlights; assure...

Well everyone, here we have done it. We are taking on Marvel and the Metaverse and are introducing our own IndieVerse sort of situation with our movie today. This is a movie about a movie getting into a film fest with a podcast in the movie on a podcast about movies that are typically featured in film fests…Now that we’ve wasted your time with that, we bring you, Fim Fest…a movie that, based on on...

Hello Indie movie friends. Here’s hoping you are ready for a laugh after the hellish joyride that is a Lindemann show. We go from throwing fish in Moscow to “on the lam” in the Midwest? Canada? Well, Jennifer Tilly is involved and we are happy! Our movie is The Wrong Guy, and Mr. Dave Foley if you ever hear this, we want you to be very proud of this movie. Heck, it even cheered up a guy in a Hyper...

Hello movie and (hopefully) music fans! On the day after Halloween, we re giving you what might be the most shocking “film” we have done yet. We endeavor to keep things interesting for you, dear listener, and today we are talking about a concert film! Ryan is using this platform for a personal share, and we are talking about an experience that gave Todd, “heart palpitations.” Friends, this is the...

Hello movie friends. Yes, so soon. We’re working hard and trying to get you as much of us as you need. In this episode we go back to basics and we just purely celebrate independent film…. And Oliva Munn. Is she in Too Tall? Nope. Emetophobic people should stay away from this film, but tall people, as well as people of other heights will also enjoy this wonderful indie that asks, “Is there anything...

Hello movie friends! We sure do have something special here for you. Special like finding a face up penny on the ground…attached to a case of money. This is a show about movies and boy do we talk about movies. Thankfully we do get around to talking about One Small Hitch, a rare rom com, suggested by Ryan. Only because he has an immense ego it is a movie, he had a small, little something to do with...

Independent (and attached) movie friends, we are here with another episode that asks something of you. It asks, “how’s your math?” Our math is collectively at 50% as a show so we’re doing alright. Thank you so much for listening to our show and please do let us know how we are doing, here on magic number 35! Is 35 a magic number? Who knows. In this episode, which is the movie most like “His Girl F...

Welcome friends. Welcome back to the 80’s; but the dark 80’s. We’ll not be trifling with the adorable Hughes-ian musings of your Duckie’s or your Long Duck Dong’s. Here we give you gems like: “Stick your head up your ass if you want quiet time.” With this episode, we are bringing so much to bear! We are going back-to-back Keanu. We are showing Keanu and Hopper before Speed. And we’re both really c...

Hello friends and welcome to a movie that made us wonder so many things. Chief amongst them…What if all movies are the Matrix? Or…What if this is a Fast and Furious origin story? Jason Momoa is certainly channeling some Dante Reyes vibes in this movie that Todd says, “They would love this in Europe.” In this episode (brought to you by questionable parenting) Ryan takes down St. Patrick’s Day, we r...

Hello indie movie friends. On this fine Independence Day, we welcome you to NOT episode 28 and urge you to, rather than eat the traditional holiday fare, consider Eating…Raoul? See what we did there? In a movie Todd describes as “funny with a Capital C” we dive into the beautiful grime of the 80’s and bring you what may be our dirtiest podcast yet. In this episode, we ask whether the original Deat...

Movie friends, here we are, awash in the lingering glow of movie and comics talk and new friends made (we cannot be more thankful for our time at Cherry Capital Comic Con) and find ourselves with our first real deal conspiracy theory movie that asks…What would Ron Pearlman look like as a full-blown hippy? The answer is: Ron Pearlman is awesome in everything, sucker. Here we are with an episode tha...

Friends. Family. We are so excited for Cherry Capital Comic Con weekend and that we get to be a part of it that we have another new episode for you. Remember, we’re all out of order here and references may be slightly outdated, but all hopefully charming nonetheless. In this “improvisational jazz” episode, we discuss a film that has a message. Please be kind to the Earth and each other for f**k’s...
