Ep 10. SEXY "redacted" BEAST
Listen now
Description
Cynthia Robinson came on the pod and completely shifted Ryan and David's dynamic. This is good. Very unhinged episode. I think this is excellent for us. We broke down Jonathan Glazer's "Sexy Beast", and our slutty reasoning behind picking it to review. Ryan tells us his biggest acting/career related regret of his 20's, and we talk about the roots of our deepest egoic desires and whether they're worth following. ALSO. Our experience being in our mid 30's at Adult Film, and in this industry in general. Expectation, and things we would have done differently. Oh. and we even talk about everyones favorite channeled non-physical entity Abraham Hicks! This is a good one.

Mike and Josh from Creative Risk really got us talking. About acting process, and building a community at AF, and so many other things we dont necessarily get to talk about when its just us. This is a good one.
