For the 12th Future Shipwreck Podcast, my friend and poker buddy Kyle Buchanan takes the helm as guest DJ. Kyle is a Los Angeles-based journalist who writes for Flaunt and The Advocate. He also created the late, great Ostrich Ink, a nonfiction webzine that ran for three years and featured original work from over 75 of the city’s best young writers. When he’s not writing, Kyle is a music buff with refined tastes (as you’ll soon discover), and also hosts a weekly poker night for a unique, diverse group of nifty gay dudes. His favorite movie is Joe Versus the Volcano.

As I said to Graham while making this podcast, where other people quote “The Simpsons” throughout their daily life, I quote Joe Versus the Volcano. This undersung film (the only one ever directed by acclaimed playwright John Patrick Shanley, who has a Tony, Oscar, and Pulitzer Prize to call his own) was a stiff when it first came out in 1990, but as The Onion A.V. Club said in their feature entitled 10 Notorious Flops Worth Seeing, “If it works on you, the film conveys nothing less than the joy of being alive.” Seriously!

That said, this podcast stands on its own; if its songs are the smorgasbord, the occasional soundbites from Joe Versus the Volcano are the delicious sprinkles on top. Enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.
