Musician, actor, all around maker, Malek Houlihan &amp; I talk pitch meeting hacks, personal hacks and global hacks. This is a terrifically insightful, deeply practical, powerful episode, for everyone who makes anything, or wants to make anything out of their lives. Malek accompanies the podcast with his acoustic guitar to give a deceptively laid back ambience to one of the most incisively philosophical episodes I've ever done. I learned something big, and so may you. Buckle up! Follow Malek Houlihan on Facebook, @MalekHoulihan on twitter &amp; @malek_houlihan on Instagram.

Seamus Smith &amp; I tackle Steven Spielberg's "virtually" epic new film, complete with (mostly spoiler free) book to screen comparisons. After weeks of mixed headlines and a bravura box office take, we look at Ready Player One as filmmakers, artists, and fans of the book by Ernest Cline. We talk about the way the IP is handled, the deft script by Zak Penn &amp; Cline, the terrific performances by the incredible cast, dig into the strong social commentary, and Spielberg as a filmmaker.
