We discuss pirates, sea monsters, storms, alcohol, and future projects!

Jerome runs a YouTube channel also named "Sailing into Oblivion" where he has a podcast, vlogs from his journey and many other adventures (link below).

Luke Lorick of the Tailgating Challenge was on the on the Side Hustle Show with Nick Loper, and when Kelly heard Luke's plea and struggle to get a tailgating television show of some sort started, Kelly scheduled a phone call with bells on!

Their conversation lead to Luke guest appearing on the podcast. We asked for him to lend his expertise in tailgating to help us complete a list of the top party scenes in film!

Following our list, Kelly tries his hand at giving a fellow YouTuber with a real niche (which Hohenheim Productions lacks) some advice on growing the channel and continuing to monetize the side hustle he has such a passion for.

We discuss beating the algorithm, improving content, developing new shows, and even digital assets to sell in the hopes of making a side hustle, the MAIN hustle.

With the controversy and drama over Will Smith smacking Chris Rock at the Oscars, and since we started with another Oscar nominated film for episode 01 ("Power of the Dog"), we decided to continue the rend by examining "King Richard" (2021) with Award Winning Director Lawrence Lee Wallace of Deep Production Studios.

Lawrence began as a stage actor over 20 years ago, gravitating into film; i.e. Directing, Producing, Editing, Cinematography, out of necessity to make his story and visions come alive, and to keep busy in an industry he'd grown to love.

Lawrence has a long list of excellent titles spanning a number of genres: "Sunshine Day" (2015) available on Tubi, "The Girls & Rodney" (2016) Amazon,  & "Pieces of David" (2017) Amazon.

See more from Lawrence Lee Wallace by following him on Social Media: @LawrenceLeeWallace

Beyond giving our reviews and opinions of "King Richard" with Lawrence Lee Wallace, we invite him on to speak with us about the History & Controversy of Black Exploit Films, address if it is in fact racist, what Black Exploit Looks like today, and what some good examples of it are today.

Follow Lawrence on Social Media to keep an eye out for "The Boxxx" on Netflix!

We're FINALLY Back for a New Season of The Get to the Point Review. For Season 2, we are carrying on in an ironic fashion with longer form discussion about movies, television, aspects of films and theater, the creative process, and much, much more!

We'll have Guests of all Quality, Caliber, and Professional Levels, and we're starting by listing roadblocks we've had in Film and Theater. Most of those problems start from money, but break down to include casting, locations, travel & lodging, food, post-production, networking, and connections in the Industry.

We share our combined experiences, as well as some creative solutions to the problems we've faced in the past.

The Recent Movie we chose for our first episode is "The Power of the Dog" which caught the attention of Kelly due to his fondness of Westerns; add in the fact that it was nominated for Best Picture (as well as almost a dozen other awards) and it was a shoe-in for our first episode.

We'll be looking at "The Batman", "Spiderman: No Way Home", and other popular movies from Late 2021 and early 2022 in future episodes.

Josh and Kelly haven't been stagnant while they've been away from the Podcast:

Hohenheim Productions has released feature length psychological thriller "What Happened in Danville" (2022) directly to the Hohenheim Productions YouTube channel absolutely free to watch anytime, and we LOVE the feedback its received so far. An excellent locally sourced Midwestern cast lead by English Independent Film Star Darcy Grey.   Watch it Here!

4th Wall Players has filmed and released the first 10 Episodes of an Office inspired comedy making fun of the Serial Entrepreneurship pandemic that has swept the nation over the past few years.   Watch "Da Company" Now!

We take a look at the newest Sci-Fi Fantasy movie sweeping theaters and stream times, the remake/reboot from the 80's, "dune"... and we can't even pretend, we REALLY enjoyed it.

Which made it really fun to find a Review (scarce as they were) that DIDN'T like the Film!
We present to you all, America Magazine, the Jesuit Review by John Anderson! It's pretty funny.. Not enough Sand worms we think.

For the bulk of our episode, and following suit with our own Season finale, we choose out Favorite Television Finale's of all Time, a tough list to narrow down to 5, but we both surprise each other with our choices, and have a great time doing it.

Although this is our last episode until January, we have a lot of other projects in the works and rolling out both on the Hohenheim Productions YouTube channel, and especially on the 4th Wall Players YouTube Channel! If you enjoy "The Office", we highly recommend checking out our series "Da Company"!

This week we take a look at a movie we reviewed the Trailer from in an old episode of "What It Is" (found on the YouTube) where our initial reaction was, "What?!" We hoped to gain a woman's perspective for all of our topics on this episode but instead you are stuck with us.
We have mixed feelings about "Breaking News in Yuba County" and even MORe mixed feelings about the review on the Review of "Breaking News in Yuba County"

For this episode we took a look at the Review in The Hollywood Reporter by Sheri Linden.
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-reviews/breaking-news-in-yuba-county-film-review-4130965/

For this week's Main Topic (again, we hoped to get a female's perspective) we decided to tackle our favorite sex scenes in film. Our picks aren't nearly as man-ish as you may think and the scope of our picks will definitely have everyone agreeing with us somewhere.

In this episode we welcome local Haunted Attraction owners Tammy and Walt of Edge of Insanity.  Nothing quite says Halloween like Haunted Houses, so we felt they'd be perfect Guests to help us  examine "Halloween Kills" (2021) for the Halloween Episode.

Tammy and Walt run the Edge of Insanity Haunted attraction in Kokomo Indiana and this weekend is the last weekend to experience the thrills this season. Find Tickets and pre-order via Facebook:

To help paint the picture of our hopes being crushed, we used an article published by ABC News, but written by Peter Travers of Good Morning America. They agree that regardless of whether folks knew it was a trilogy or not, the final product falls short of what audiences should be paying for in theaters and via streaming.
https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Culture/review-halloween-kills-fun-fright-fest-falls-short/story?id=80522629&fbclid=IwAR0-HY-j1fjMXfMGLDxXbBA44cmW1G0hYvUT3e6Xj3ixq2LuzEzuGRLKez4

This time we look at Netflix's "Kate", a movie that definitely telegraphed it's plot in the trailer, but we decided was a gritty and fun homage to action films from the past.

This week's Review was from The Hollywood Reporter by Angi Han, whom thought its telegraphed plot was boring.

For the Bulk of our episode we each picked our 5 favorite female badasses in Movies, each with slightly different qualifications for our picks. Our picks span the generations as we pick from actresses and movies from the 80's all the way to today's most recent films.

This time we take a look at "The Tomorrow War" with Chris Pratt and summarize in a Get to the Point Review fashion as usual. This time we Review a Review from a Jewish Website, which was completely oddball of us to do, but a lot of fun.

This week we finally strike back at recent movies with the HBO Max movie: "Boogie" directed by Eddie Huang. Beautiful cinematography doesn't do enough to distract from the many problems in this CLEARLY independent feature film about Basketball.

We're joined by very special Guest Charleon Thompson; Actor, Musician, and Chef; Charleone has been working in film for around 8 years now, and just recently switched his focus from Music to Movies and Television, creating his own Interview Cooking show where he breaks bread with the local talent of Chicago while exploring their body of work and aspirations for the future.

As part of our coverage of the recent movie, we always take a look at a popular review of the movie as well, this time we took a look at the short  NY Times review by Teo Bugbee.
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/04/movies/boogie-review.html 

In tune with Charleone's pursuits in the Culinary Arts, we each share our Favorite TV Show or Movies that we relate to Food as the bulk of the episode. We rehash some favorites, add a few newbies, and stay generally pretty recent with our choices as we delve into a mouth-watering list including picks like Beetlejuice, Hook, and a return of "The Count of Monte Cristo"

In this episode we FINALLY have good reason to look at "Birds of Prey" the Harley Quinn spin-off movie that was received with mixed impressions. As Harley Quinn is originally a side character, and Margot Robbie's portrayal had everyone gushing, the spin-off side character movie made it an easy choice for our main topic to center around our favorite side characters.

For Mother's Day we are joined by a Mother from the Production Team, Katherine Gibson. Katherine works Costumes, Props, Sets, and a host of other things behind the scenes and in front of the camera with 4th Wall Players as well as Hohenheim Productions. And if the last name hasn't tipped it off, yes, she is also married to co-host Joshua Gibson.

Katherine joins us for our Mother's Day Special to look at and share her review on 2021's "Moxie" featuring Amy Pollard. The movie focuses on a Magazine started by a high school student in response to extreme misogyny, a magazine called Moxie which carries a heavy feminism theme. The Movie had a split reaction from critics with an RT score of 70%. It makes our Mother's Day special because of Amy Pollard's portrayal of a Mother. Find out what we thought in the episode.

We took a look at a Review built for concerned Mother's by Emily Clark from Focus on the Family's Plugged In Review.
