They found themselves. Together. In Baltimore.    A newly sober man's Christmas Eve dental emergency leads to an unexpected romance with his older dentist as they explore Baltimore together.    That's the tagline for The Baltimorons (2025), one of my ten favorite movies from last year. I had the chance to sit down with the co-writer and star, Michael Strassner, to talk about some of his comedic influences, how his life shaped the film's story, and what the journey has been like seeing the film connect with so many people.    The Baltimorons is up for multiple awards at the Film Independent Spirit Awards on Sunday, February 15th.    Follow Michael Strassner - @strasshola on Instagram Michael Strassner - IMDb   Follow the Movie Archer Podcast Network: moviearcher.com Follow the show on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/revalmanac/ Follow the show on Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/RevAlmanac Follow the show on Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/RevAlmanac/ Follow the show on Podbean: https://revisionistalmanac.podbean.com/ Email the show at revisionistalmanac@yahoo.com

Jane Austen's Period Drama (2025) is the most hilarious film of last year. A comedic parody about women's business inspired by the familiar world of a Jane Austen novel.   This 13-minute Oscar shortlisted live-action short is the brainchild of two remarkably earnest and funny filmmakers, Julia Aks & Steve Pinder. Andrew sat down with them to discuss what got the two of them into the creative arts, the inspiration for the film, and much more. Along the way, there was laughter, there were tears, and there was a surprise that shook the room.    Watch the film - https://youtu.be/dxpjzOLVRR0?si=bHJZPCJb4tHscdB1    Follow the film on Instagram - @janeaustensperioddrama Follow Julia Aks on Instagram - @jaksicle Follow Steve Pinder on Instagram - @stevecpinder   Follow the show on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/revalmanac/ Follow the show on Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/RevAlmanac Follow the show on Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/RevAlmanac/ Follow the show on Podbean: https://revisionistalmanac.podbean.com/ Email the show at revisionistalmanac@yahoo.com
