Showing Promise
Showing Promise is a general-discussion podcast "hosted" by me, Matt. I had the idea of making a podcast back in 2021, and in true perfectionist fashion, I kind of actually sort of started working on it in 2022. If you know me, you know I talk a lot, so this felt like a logical outlet for all those words.
Episodes often drift toward music (because I love it), but really, anything goes. I just enjoy talking to people. So, while there’s no set theme or schedule—to heck with the algorithm—you can expect frequent banter, colorful commentary, and the occasional crass detour. Sometimes it's me and friends, sometimes it's just me rambling like a caffeinated philosopher. I post episodes when they’re done. That’s it.
This podcast is made purely for the fun of it. If you're into conversational chaos with heart, give it a listen. Thanks for being here!

Who You Gonna Call? Ghosts, Glitches, and Great Power with Lano Pecina
Woah! It's episode 2! For geeks around the globe, just hearing the words "episode two" can trigger a lot of unpleasant memories, but I'm hoping to deliver a much more enjoyable experience.
For the second episode of Showing Promise, my guest Lano Pecina and I discuss a few flicks that we watched over a weekend, all of which had a "throwback" feel to them. First starting with the fourth (or third depending on how you feel about it) installment of the Ghostbusters franchise, Ghostbusters: Afterlife. Next, another movie that is fourth in its series, and was highly anticipated by millennial dudes everywhere, The Matrix Resurrections. How did we feel about that one, you ask? All I can say is, we felt strongly about it. And last, we cover a blockbuster super hero story that hit us right in the feels, taking us back to the early days of Marvel movies, in Spider-Man: No Way Home.
*Be warned! This episode contains SPOILERS for all these films.*
This one was a doozy to record, but so much fun. It's a beast of a show, so thank you for giving it a listen. If you happen to be driving across the country, this will help you get about halfway.
Big thank you to Lano for talking nerdy with me. Let's do another!
