Welcome to HP1: The Podcast! Right now, I'm posting casual conversations with my YouTube friends on a biweekly basis where we talk about content creation, movies, and probably the occasional tangent about Disney World. My hope is that this doesn't feel "official" or "curated", but rather sheds some light on the video-making process through fun chats between fellow content creators. You know how this stuff usually goes. Thanks for listening!
TAYLOR J WILLIAMS: NYU Film School, Movie Theaters Reopening, and Being A Florida Man
This week on the show, I'm talking to my buddy Taylor J. Williams - he's an incredibly insightful "film guy" on YouTube with some great film culture analysis videos you should totally check out. Today, we're talking about NYU and the merits of film school, our awful movie theater experiences, the few movies we've seen this year, and more.

BEN FROM CANADA: Art vs. Content, Self-Awareness On the Internet, and Also Some Religion
This week on the show, I sat down with my good friend Ben Chinapen - AKA Ben From Canada - to talk about whatever came to mind. Ben is the editor for Mr. Sunday Movies, as well as an amazing writer, filmmaker, YouTuber, musician and actor in his own right. We've known each other for several years, and we were supposed to meet up for lunch when I was in England, but it never worked out. As such, this was the first time we've ever talked face to face; it's really just a casual conversation between two creatives sharing their experiences with each other. I hope you'll enjoy it!

MAKE STUFF: The Hamilton Controversy (and Avatar: The Last Airbender)
This week on the show: I've got my buddy Johnathon Rose-Lyon from the MAKE STUFF channel on YouTube! Johnathon and I have been DMing back and forth for the past few weeks talking constantly about the recent controversy around Hamilton, so we figured it was time to publicly record and post our thoughts about it so that we can be incriminated for our opinions in 5 years. Anyway, uh, we also talk about Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Last Jedi! It was good. I enjoyed it, and uh, maybe you will too?
If you want it, the Hamilton discussion starts at 24:15.

SAY GOODNIGHT KEVIN: Expressing Worldview in Film, Researching YT Videos, and Judging Christian Movies
It's been almost 10 months since the last episode of HP1: The Podcast, so let's not pretend this is a longstanding and beloved show! But no matter what it is, I guess we're back for another episode - and hopefully many more in the next few weeks and months. Seriously, I've got guests lined up. It's real, I promise.
Today I'm sitting down with my buddy Kevin McCreary, AKA Say Goodnight Kevin on YouTube, to talk about his channel, his critiques of Christian movies, and lots of other random stuff. I think we talked about America's Got Talent for some reason? And football? And the movie Knives Out, for a while? Lots of half-baked opinions with probably incorrect facts. It was a good time.
Be sure to follow Kevin on Twitter at @goodnightkev and Houston (myself) at @blockbustedpod!

LOVERBOY MEDIA: Long-Term YouTube Goals, Australia vs. USA, and Disney Shilling
Despite the delay, the guest episodes of HP1: The Podcast are back! Today I'm talking to my good friend Bailey Parkinson AKA Loverboy Media AKA Breaking Banter on YouTube. As will probably be pretty standard for this show, we talk a lot about YouTube content creation and video essays - but we also get into our long-term goals, talking about the differences between Australia and America, and (if you know where my mind goes) a little bit of Disney theme parks. I really hope talking to guests as cool as Bailey somehow makes me seem cooler by default. Thanks for listening!

HITOP FILMS: Making Video Essays, YouTube Insecurities, and MCU Hot Takes
Hey guys! This is the first official "guest episode" of HP1: The Podcast, which should start being a weekly or biweekly thing for the foreseeable future, with lots of my fellow YouTube film buds comin' on to casually hang out and talk about whatever comes to mind, whether it's behind the scenes stuff or current pop culture nonsense. You know what they say: a group of white men is called a podcast. And that's...I guess, uh, true, yep. I hope you enjoy anyway.
The first hour of this episode is mostly about our creative process and video essay behind the scenes. Discussion about MCU and superhero stuff (which, let's be honest, is probably what you really came for) starts around 1:06:00.
