  • ANTHONY BOURDAIN: PARTS UNKNOWN with Justin Cook
    Jun 3 2026

    What made Anthony Bourdain more than just a TV host — and why does his work still matter? In this episode of Film Nuts, I sit down with climate journalist and photographer Justin Cook to dig into the lasting legacy of Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown, the CNN docuseries that turned food into a lens for understanding people, place, and power.

    Justin breaks down why Bourdain's storytelling never really felt like travel television — it was actual journalism, and really good journalism at that. We talk about the Charleston episode, Waffle House, why the Jerusalem episode hits different right now, and how watching Bourdain sit at a grandma's kitchen table in Gaza and tell a story through food changed the way Justin thinks about his own reporting.

    Justin is a solutions journalist covering climate change across the American South, and the parallels between his work and Bourdain's approach are honestly kind of wild. We also get into why there are whale skeletons buried in the Tar River in North Carolina, which I absolutely needed answers to after stalking his Instagram.

    This one is about storytelling, journalism, the power of showing up somewhere with genuine curiosity, and yes — a very passionate defense of Waffle House.

  • BERGMAN ISLAND with Adam Protz
    Oct 8 2025

    Check out Mubi!

    A calm film that still hits like a memory. We head to Faro for a slow, sunlit walk through Mia Hansen-Løve’s Bergman Island and talk about why a “vibe movie” can carry more emotional weight than a dozen plot twists. With composer and interviewer Adam Protz, we unpack the gentle shock of moving beyond IP-driven habits into cinema that breathes—where sweaters match ferries, windmills hold quiet revelations, and a film-within-a-film mirrors the delicate strain of a creative partnership.

    Adam traces his journey from easy-listening piano into the textured worlds of Nils Frahm, Ólafur Arnalds, and Hania Rani, then draws a line to Bergman Island’s unshowy craft. We dig into how place becomes an instrument, why the inner story burns hotter than the outer romance, and how boundaries in feedback can feel both defensive and necessary. Along the way, we explore sampling as a metaphor for cinema literacy—discovering echoes in Seventh Seal, then chasing the source to hear the original heartbeat.

    What emerges is a portrait of taste in motion: keeping love for superhero spectacle while making room for small, precise choices that invite a second look. No Bergman syllabus required; the references land without gatekeeping, and the meta touches stay human. If you’re curious how a quiet film can feel restorative, or how partners create without smothering each other’s endings, you’ll find a warm, thoughtful companion here—part travelogue, part craft talk, part love letter to watching closely.

    If this conversation resonates, tap follow, share it with a friend who loves slow-burn cinema, and leave a quick review on Apple Podcasts so more thoughtful listeners can find us.
