The episode you've all been waiting for. Way more edited than other episodes; lots of clips, trailers, songs and laughs! Thank you Collin & Erik for this wonderful yearly tradition that I always enjoy and hope you do too!
A brand-new music spin-off version of Director's Club, only this time, it's all about music co-hosted with my intelligent, talented fiancée Sharon. We missed January, but we're back for lots of love in February for this dream pop duo!
The last director-centric episode was back in November but we're back on the regularly monthly schedule as of now! Huge thanks to my buddies Ross & Tripp for coming on to talk about a true blue classic storyteller!
