One of the really great things I’ve gotten from doing this podcast is that it gives me an opportunity to reconnect with old friends or add layers to existing friendships. This week’s guest, Otto Hughey III, is a man I’ve known for a long time but have interacted with almost exclusively through my brother as an intermediary. It was awesome getting some one-on-one time with him. Otto is living the dream - a content creator in the video game space, you can catch him on his twitch.tv stream under the handle OHugheyIII. On top of our usual film talk, we chop it up about retail robberies and how pro wrestlers are like method actors. Let’s get into it.

This week's guest and I go all the way back to the mid-90s when we were bagging groceries for tips at the commissary. Since then, he's gone on to become an award-winning photographer. We hadn't spoken in roughly 20 years, but you'd never know it from how much fun we had recording. Check out Handsome Boy Charlie Thrower on episode 13!

Today I get to catch up with Charlie Thrower. I’ve known Charlie since my first job bagging groceries for tips in high school. Since then Charlie’s turned a passion for photography into a full-on care
