What if Spike Lee wrote “The Breakfast Club”? Shane believes we would get something along the lines of “Light It Up”. An eclectic collection of high school students find themselves in a situation that spirals out of control, while also being a great character study on teenagers.

Happiness is...

Dave Maier.

As we celebrate Dave Maier's birthday, this month's episode would not be available in audio form. Please watch the video on either the Shane Talks YouTube Channel, or the GemInI Films YouTube Channel.

On July 27th, 2024 in Tyngsboro, Massachusetts, roughly 400 people came together to celebrate Dave Maier.

This video captures many moments from that day.

Through photos, videos and testimonials.

Mixed in with this day, are additional commentaries, videos, and photos of Dave with co-workers, friends, and family. This video is to celebrate a man who loved life, inspired people, and made everyone feel like they were a part of his family.

New video episode will be around soon.

What a great weekend for Shane to praise all three films that were released. First up is the most Non-David Lynch film that David Lynch ever made, and it’s an amazing character study on the power of human connections. Second is a great film that deals with the sensitive topic of divorce – so Shane tries to get through that conversation. Finally, Shane praises “Fight Club” for its importance to the men of Gen X.

Shane takes a look at two films that I had hopes would turn out better than they were. Harrison Ford and Kristin Scott Thomas completely lack any chemistry in “Random Hearts” and Mary Catherine Gallagher gets her own full-length feature film. Shane does manage to find some good things to discuss amidst these disappointments.
