A Little Independent
by Ryan Buck and Todd BurnaskaSeason 2

Hello friends. We here at A Little Independent podcast just want to say. Soapdish is an extraordinary movie. Now that business is out of the way, we can get to the heart of the matter, of the matter. What are some of the things you are never too young for? Here, for certain you are never too young for a sweet Stamos/Vanity pairing, in what should have been a Bond-origin film. Featuring Gene Simmons best performance that is not in Runaway, this film invents the Apple Watch and Todd watched the edited version! What a ride we will be on. In this episode, we discuss the undeniability of Paul Reuben’s earlier dramatic work; Ryan obsesses on what RAM-K is; Todd gives Ryan “The Finger”; We discuss in nauseating detail what we miss about 80’s digital watches; We rank our best apocalyptic nightclubs from movies, we sing the Stargrove theme song quite a few times and we hope sincerely Cliff gets the psychological help he needs. Thank you for listening to our little podcast and let us know if you’d like to see this and a Gymkata crossover.

Is this the one where we lose you? We almost lost Todd. However, in our effort to bring you the MOST independent, obscure and just plain weird movies, we accidentally succeed; and we must. Liquid Sky is the sort of movie for which and for why (is that even correct?) we do this show…and probably breathe the live giving air we breathe. Never before has a movie done so much to us. Given so much to us. Maybe even took a little something from Todd. His innocence? Again, in this episode we celebrate experience, music, shrimp, fashion, dance, New York, Alien encounters, the best screen acting performance of all time and the most insane film soundtrack you have or will ever hear. Not enough? Also, in the episode we discuss the best way to truly enjoy interpretive dance; Todd shockingly admits to never having abused heroin…or a heroine; we delve deep into the history of cinema spaceship design using tupperware; Ryan shares his perfect alien abduction fantasy (so much probing); Todd worries this movie took away his sense of smell; we discuss in detail the finest acting performance in history from Anne Carlisle; Todd discusses his disdain for tofu and Ryan is currently looking for Liquid Sky hot pants. Whether you’re here for Jimmy, Margaret, shrimp, Paula, erratic heartbeats, you or your Rhythm Box, please listen to this amazing soundtrack on 11 for your next gathering. You will have no more friends. Get at us and share with us your band’s best cover version of “Me & My Rhythm Box” at alittleindependentpodcast@gmail.com #waitwait #arewerolling #montedoroforever #thelunchroom #chickenabuse #shrimp #shrimp #shrimp #shrimp 
Friends of movies and friends of the end; this is the movie for you. Now, we are a bit biased toward this film having interviewed the writer/director and two of the stars…WHAT!?!?!?!?! Yes, it is true. We’ve done it again and have connected with very cool and inspiring people who made a tremendous film. First, we share with you the usual episode fraught with sexual tension and beer farts -but knowing we got to talk to the providers of the feast, as it were, made it all the sweeter. All food puns aside, we have a delicious episode ahead for you. In this episode we discuss the importance of maniacal obsession; Ryan shares his most harrowing food moment; We discuss the importance of Lita Ford on a Hero’s Journey; Todd loses his shit when pressed on the topic of Monsanto; Ryan doubles down on a previous claim that bacon is overrated; Todd shares why Halloween is a nightmare for him and his entire family; Ryan finally gets the spiritual bitch slap Todd has been promising and in response we get the show’s first on air kiss. And hey, we shockingly get through the entire episode not making the whole show about Xena: Warrior Princess. Get at us at alittleindependentpodcast@gmail.com and tell us your favorite Xena episodes. And look out for the next episode, featuring that sexy interview we hinted about in the opening #waitwait #arewerolling #montedoroforever #thelunchroom #foddmattersgray #tacotuesday #noforeplay #montanasexy #nocurtain #exposed #landeauxisatreasure #sweetmelissa 
Friends; Countrymen; Highwaymen; Indie movie fans and cool cats in general, do we have a tried-and-true treat for you. What started out as some kind of practical joke by Todd turned out to be one of our best movies yet. Sure, on the surface a film about a teenage girl in sensual love with her widower father who then, once he starts dating, turns to extreme violence leading to a significant confrontation with a fierce topless female boxer sounds like a bad time, but holy sh*t the joke is on us! This movie is amazing and in this episode: Todd reveals his favorite non-masculine bar drink; We discuss at length the proper clothing for opening and shutting down a disgusting local bar; Ryan brings a savage takedown to locker-room culture, possibly inspired by years of bullying, Todd talks lingerie shopping do’s and do not’s; Somehow we completely dismantle all of Parrot-Head culture and we vote on our favorite topless boxers of the last half-century. As always, thank you for listening to our show, topless or otherwise and if you tell someone about our show, email us and let us know you did it, we will send you a topless photo. alittleindependentpodcast@gmail.com #waitwait #arewerolling #montedoroforever #teamjulie #teambeth #youneedfuel

Greetings, friends. And if we just listen to one of the morales of this tale: Lose your gitch for Science (that should be the t-shirt). All would be well. We understand that we just released an episode about a wolf. But ha! We didn’t. So here is a movie about a real werewolf…Cop. Cop who is a werewolf. Cop wolf? In a movie with a French nod to werewolves so on the nose, it should need rhinoplasty to remove. With performances so joyous you should and will scream, we are delighted to talk about a movie that dares ask…What happens to a dude’s dick when he transforms into a werewolf? Chris, for you in this episode Todd shares his discomfort with dressing rooms; We discuss what a werewolf may have on their business card; Ryan laments how we missed an opportunity to do both Wolfcop 1 & 2 in the same episode, we go all in on Werewolf government conspiracy theories, we both finally talk about how one person is waiting for it, whatever it is and Ryan surmises what a werewolf support group might look like and what snacks might be served at such meetings. Get into the groove of what may be the end of Todd and Ryan’s friendship and let us know how much you loved this movie and want us to do the sequel: alittleindependentpodcast@gmail.com And check out the trailer for Ready or Not 2: Here I Come – we are PSYCHED! #waitwait #arewerolling #montedoroforever #getnakedforscience #loseyourgitch #hellbaby #allthenotes #jonathancherry #dickprosthetic #rememberpunch #bamph 
Hello to our howling Indiependents. We are getting ready for the season with some tenseness and some apparent werewolf hijinks? Namely amongst the hijinks are us being SOOOOOOOO SERIOUS that we forget to say the title of the film. To let you off the hook, it’s called Riki Lindhome Rules, aka, The Wolf of Snow Hollow. This is a great and fun f**king movie people and it’s Robert Foresters last on screen performance so let’s all just take a break, stop being dicks, love seeing that Orion Pictures logo and just be better. In this episode, we talk about, who would be the worst bartender, ISIS the terrorists or the goddess; Ryan discusses Meg Foster’s eyes over Brian Bloom’s; Todd says he doesn’t like hunky boys…Or does he?; Josh Hartnet’s career is discussed in graphic detail; We book a trip to Utah live during the recording; Ryan discusses his most tragic skiing story (it involves tons of lube and a bad tattoo); We figure out why cool whip is the instrument of the devil; Todd takes Ryan (and all of us) on proper hot tub etiquette; And the team discusses salacious alternate uses for fondue. Get at us at alittleindependentpodcast@gmail.com and tell Ryan that you get him. You know you love those old movie logos. Thank you for listening Chris. It’s why we grind. #waitwait #arewerolling #montedoroforever #badpalance #writerdirectorstar #themostnaked #garfunkelandoats #waynesworld #americanwerewolfintwinpeaks 
Henry Gamble's Birthday Party
Well Indiependent friends, we have the world’s most cringy and uncomfortable birthday party in the history of this narcissistic, outdated practice. And speaking of narcissistic and outdated – there’s plenty of parochial religious claptrap as well! This is a podcast crossover happening (possibly our first) with The Pursuit Of…podcast, which we must thank for today’s movie inspiration. The transcendent and beautiful lead of this film, Elizabeth Laidlaw was a guest on that show, and, from her exciting film career, this film emerged as one we MUST TALK ABOUT!!!! Why are we so enthused? Because Elizabeth Laidaw is so confusingly out of Pat Healey’s league, that there is no way his character landed that hottie as a wife. Anyway, aside from that, in this episode, we discuss a fifty-first way to leave your lover; Todd shares that he cannot digest cereal; Ryan shared why Nicolas Cage would make this movie better; Todd spells Beerrated incorrectly; We talk about swimsuit length and acceptable male thigh (more thigh please); Todd shares with us his most uncomfortable Halloween costume; Tood loves hot moms – officially (Hey Joe); Ryan shares his thoughts on “the sock treatment” and we both spend most of the podcast talking about Xena. Exclusively. Get at us and tell us the best Xena episodes alittleindependentpodcast@gmail.com and thank you for listening. You get it #waitwait #arewerolling #montedoroforever #alotmunch #beerated #beeratored #daypodcasting #spewedforth #hairgate #thankyouboxedwine
Hello and greetings to you our gorgeous and mighty Indiependent friends – Can you get enough of Jeff Bridges sounding like he’s battling with a mouth too full of mints when he talks and being totally and kindly racist? We can’t either. In the movie that features definitively the best Chris, we get all aggressively up in the movie, Hell or High Water. A movie that is so dusty, dead and dry looking that we are dubbing it, Republican in nature. In this episode, Todd literally pulls a muscle; Ryan spanks a monkey, but it’s not what you think; The team discuss how we’d rob a bank (naked); Does one of us audibly eat on this episode? Todd sits uncomfortably while Ryan professes true and unyielding personal love for Ben Foster’s acting; We also take the damn time to be thankful and cherish Martina Navratilova and the Velvet Revolution and Ryan once again reaffirms that golf is for losers and those without imagination. What is happening? Thank you so much for listening to our show and for honking your horns loudly when you drive by a gold course. Get at us and tell us what irks you and what movies make it better. alittleindependentpodcast@gmail.com #waitwait #arewerolling #montedoroforever #marblemouth #mouth #holes #mouthholes #benfoster #thebestchris #robbanks #robertbanks 
Hello and greetings to you our sexy Indiependent friends – Here we have one of the steamiest and tensest movies we have ever done. And again, one of us saw this in the theater…alone back in the day. In the introduction of Charlize to the world, we also have a movie around that whole business. In this episode we discuss how much we want to be friends with Jeff Daniels; Todd shares a harrowing story of a super-soaker mishap; We spend too much time talking about male yoga-wear; Ryan gets it waaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy wrong again; Todd isn’t a creep; The team takes many, many hard shots at the ridiculous game of golf and the dipshits who play it; Ryan yet again defends the Pierce Brosnan Bond movies, and we discuss the saliency of pregnancy-focused adult entertainment; Golf is so dumb, did you know that? In a time of drastic discord and unmitigated tension…We give you James Spader, soul-f**king you with his chilling monologues. Thank you for listening to this episode and not the last one and please rate the show – because we’re close to a multi-million dollar deal with a major network and we need to prove that more than Chris listens. Chris, we love you buddy. F**king hacks we all are! alittleindependentpodcast@gmail.com #waitwait #arewerolling #montedoroforever #thelunchroom #spadereyes #oneminute #hairpiecedrama #knuckleduster #thebestjames #fukinghack
