Milking the Spleen

This week we invite filmmaker and Channel 101 show runner Sevan Najarian, to talk his new film "Mars" by The Whitest Kids U' Know. He goes pretty deep into the internals of producing a movie with a lot of challenges, breaking his back during a wedding proposal, managing 20 employees working out of his house, and why every video editor is secretly obsessed with making broth. There's also an extended detour into the ethics of using AI to resurrect the voice of a cast member who died during post-production, the cult-like aspects of growing up in a religion that forbids philosophy classes, and why holding your breath during podcast intros is actually very bad for your kidneys.
