The Film Board Gathers! The gang of thugs is here to take on a movie currently in theaters and this month we’re taking on Gareth Edwards’ latest scifi epic, “The Creator.”
Pete has been a broadcaster for the last 30 years, falling in love with the edit bay in the back of a newsroom in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He studied journalism at the University of Colorado with a focus on long-form documentary production, turning that early experience into a career helping businesses shape the stories of their brands through image and sound. Pete earned an M.S. in Organizational Design and spent fifteen years teaching graduate marketing students the power of human-centered communications. From public relations teams on global multi-million dollar brand projects to marketing for independent business owners, Pete has helped shape communications that build brands. In 2006, he launched Fifth & Main, LLC., a media consultancy focused on brand-building through the nascent field of podcasting. In 2020, nearly 3,000 individual podcast episodes behind them, the company rebranded as TruStory FM with an ear toward the next decade of podcast education and entertainment.
Pete has hosted as well as been a panelist on a number of episodes.

We return to the 1969 National Society of Film Critics Awards nominee list for Best Cinematography for this month’s member bonus episode. Specifically, we’re talking about Haskell Wexler’s narrative feature directorial debut “Medium Cool.” Taking place around Chicago during the 1968 Democratic National Convention, it has a lot to say about politics, race relations, and the media. Still, that last act leaves us scratching our heads… Tune in!
Get ready to dive into the oh-so-fascinating world of emotional dysregulation and ADHD in our upcoming podcast. We’ll explore the science behind our reactions, how it impacts our daily lives, and how mastering the art of separating our emotions from our actions can lead to profound personal growth.
We kick off our next series, jumping to the 1952 Academy Award nominees for Best Cinematography • Black-and-White. First up, we talk about László Benedek’s 1951 adaptation of Arthur Miller’s “Death of a Salesman.” For a play that’s been adapted so many times, how does this – the first film adaptation – hold up? Tune in!
Laughter is the best medicine…even during divorce! Comedian Keila Dolle joins the How to Split a Toaster podcast to share how humor heals. We dish on the “sexy therapist” phenomenon, biochemical benefits of laughter, and advise a listener on what truly matters when it comes to kids’ names after divorce. Add some joy to your day and check out this hilarious ep!
Pete and Tommy dig deep into doubt, the feelings that come with it, and the feelings that drive us to test the world when it just feels fishy.
The trio takes on the troubled works of film adaptations of H. P. Lovecraft!
We had something of a scheduling snafu this week and our guests didn’t show! Don’t worry, they’ll be back. Bun in the mean time, Nikki and Pete carried on an impromptu AMA-QA show with members in the live chat and we decided to share a piece of it with you.
We wrap up our series on the nominees at the 1947 Academy Awards for Best Writing, Screenplay with a conversation about Roberto Rossellini’s 1945 film “Rome, Open City.” It’s a powerful film and a great entry in the early days of Italian neo-realism. Anna Magnani and Aldo Fabrizi are the standouts, but it’s really the war-torn city of Rome that lends incredible authenticity to this dark war story. Great conversation. Check it out!
