Director Jeff Gorman has created some of our favorite spots and has a new book telling all about his adventures making them. It’s on iTunes and is called “Last Stop Before The Sphincter.”

We talk comedy, copywriting, simplicity and pistachios. Check out his site here or at my site. His illustrious bio is humbling and his awards are too numerous to list, so click to read.

Director Jed Hathaway returns to the podcast with more wondrous stop motion filmmaking stories. I visit the set of his So Cal Honda shoot, where Jed and his producer Rosa Tran had over a half dozen miniature stages going at once. Jed leads an army of misfit animators, all specialists at the top of their game, to make holiday cheer. His work puts a fresh twist on a nostalgic style we all love. (Think the “Rudolph The Red Nosed-Reindeer” Christmas specials.) This chat is a very informative peek behind the stop motion curtain.

Check out his Honda work and from earlier this year, animated spots for Oreo S’mores that I adore.

Have you bought your new, swanky IOM iPhone case from IOM Cases? Thank you for sponsoring the show.

Fathering five daughters inspired this week’s guest, advertising guru Kevin Sutton, to write a book, “Dear Midol: Essays from Estrogen Hell”. It’s a hilarious collection of short stories, all based in truth & good parenting. Kevin is a pal and now the Executive Creative Director at Moroch Partners, a fine advertising agency.

We chat about how director’s treatments have gotten out of hand, how SAG actors rock, and we cringe over how the almighty animatic always stifles creativity. Among other stuff. Listen!

Here’s three out of nine old spots Kevin and I made for Harvest Surprise with a camcorder and a man in a carrot suit. We agree that the last one is our fav, so scroll down.


This episode lasts about an hour and twenty minutes. Please rate us on iTunes and “like” us on Facebook pretty please.
