Why be just *a* guy when you could be "THE Guy"? This is the central question of NOT JUST A GUY, THE show that spotlights the struggles of storytellers. Host Garrett Briones, a struggling storyteller in his own right, dives into the ups and downs of trying to make it as a hungry creative in the modern landscape and the toll that can take on your wellbeing. Joined by co-host and editor extraordinaire, Emily Briones, the podcast looks to crack the code on what it means to "make it" and hone in on why we put up with the struggles to tell our stories.
Garrett and Emily reflect on the struggles they faced as storytellers in 2025 and what they'll learn from them headed into 2026.

Benoit Blanc, "Knives Out", and Our Progression as Storytellers
After seeing the latest Benoit Blanc mystery, Wake Up Dead Man, Garrett and Emily use the November releases of all films to look at their progression as storytellers from 2019-2025. From single film students to becoming married filmmakers, the two discuss how they've evolved, what headway they have (or haven't) made in the film industry, and where they'll go next.

When Emily is away, Garrett takes on the very idea of "making it" and whether or not it's something that matters in the life of a creative.
