Tomas Gomez Bustillo

His new film, "Chronicles of a Wandering Saint" opens in theaters in New York this Friday, June 28th, and Los Angeles, and other cities July 5th. I was so intrigued by the story and the trailer to the film (see below) was so captivating that I had to learn more about this film and more about Tomas ever growing career in film making. "Chronicles of a Wandering Saint" initially premiered at SXSW last year, winning the Adam Yauch Hornbolower Awards, as well as earning itself 3 Film Independent Spirit Awards Nominations! 

I talked with Tomas about growing up in Argentina and moving around the world, his early film influences, studying politics, the art of filmmaking, moving to Los Angeles to attend AFI (American Film Institute), creating the story of "Chronicles of a Wandering Saint", and so much more.

It's crazy that I have been a fan of Alex Pardee's work for over 20 years now. I first came across Alex's work for the cover art for the band The Used on their album "In Love and Death". Alex did a few covers for The Used and I've been a fan and collector ever since. My wife and I have A LOT of Alex Pardee art covering our walls and it is an honor to have him on the show today.

On today's episode, I have comedian Jeremy Weinreich!

Jeremy Weinreich

Jeremy is somebody I am honored to call a friend and co-worker and I was so excited to have him on the show. He is one of the most unique and funny comedians currently on the rise, and I wanted to make sure everybody who listens to the show got a chance to meet him. 

I talked with Jeremy about growing up in Washington D.C., finding his way to comedy, trying out standup in college, making the move to Los Angeles, his love for LOVE, and so much more. With everything we talked about, we ran out of time to talk about one of Jeremy's hobbies that always just blows my mind, and that his is love for cycling. Now riding a bike isn't what blew my mind, it's the distances that Jeremy usually does for fun, in the realm of 100 miles in a day!!!
