The '00s Zone
This is a podcast that looks back at the movies of the '00s, and tries to make sense of that seemingly culturally faceless first decade of the new millennium. It's hosted by screenwriter, filmmaker, and sometimes critic Mark Palermo (Detention) and actor Loretta Yu (Blood and Water, Diggstown). Sometimes there are guests (also of some renown).

Reality Movies! This one's an epic, and is the most thorough discussion you'll find on 2003's THE REAL CANCUN and 2002's JACKASS: THE MOVIE anywhere.
Reality TV fan/Master chef Olivia Bolaño and screenwriter Ryan Jackson join us to look at this moment early in the millennium where television and movies collided in a way that struck some critics as threatening. We also touch on the state of gender relations, the ugliness of BUMFIGHTS, normie aughties culture, and movies as a "Too Much for TV" vehicle.
