  • PART 2 No Plastic Just Real Talk (Guest: Colin Cunningham)
    Sep 16 2025

    In Part 2 of No Plastic, Just Real Talk with Colin Cunningham, the conversation turns equal parts candid and surprising. Colin reflects on his time in Preacher, his experience working with Betty Buckley, and why Joseph Gilgun is such an interesting presence on that set. We dig into Colin’s own ability to fully transform into characters—how he “shape-shifts” when he works—and how his favorite acts do the same. We also talk Hollywood excuses for why films struggle, a throwback to Muscle Beach Party, and even the toys in the background.

    After the break, things get intimate and wide-ranging: first time at a Pentecostal service (a funny moment, especially since I was raised Pentecostal), reincarnation and the idea that we carry the dreams and prayers of our ancestors, reflections on his father’s passing, and a light wander into aliens (and the hope they’re pet owners). We close the rabbit hole with a quick look at AI, a shout to Tony Amendola, some on-the-spot advice (“ask for help instead of permission”), talk about his IMDb quotes, and — because we needed it — a round of dad jokes and puns.

    This is Colin honest, reflective, and very human.

  • No Plastic Just Real Talk Part 1 (Guest: Colin Cunningham)
    Sep 9 2025

    In Part 1 of No Plastic, Just Real Talk with Colin Cunningham, we dive into the meaning of authenticity and how it’s shaped his journey. Colin shares what happened between him and Buckwald Talent Agency, what it was like adjusting to life on a movie set, his experience on Kevin Costner’s Horizon, and his character in the upcoming film He Never Left. We also touch on iconic shows like Breaking Bad and American Horror Story along the way.

    This is Colin unfiltered—honest, vulnerable, and real.

  • The Pages of Bunn (Guest: Cullen Bunn)
    Sep 2 2025

    Comic writer and novelist Cullen Bunn returns to If You Give A Dad A Podcast! From Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe to Harrow County, The Sixth Gun, and his newest project Deluge with Ignition Press, Cullen has proven himself as one of the most versatile voices in comics.

    In this episode, we flip through The Pages of Bunn — talking about creative branding (yes, even the Cullenoscope 👀), his thriving Discord community, the role of conventions like SDCC and Art-Con, and the inspiration that fuels his work. We also dig into Power Rangers comics, favorite music and drinks, and of course, the classic Dad Joke of the Week.
