The Filmjoe Podcast– Interview with Kris McMenamin Director of "Misfits the Film"

What happens when you mix a heartwarming Christmas story, a grieving father, a group of childhood friends, and a high-stakes professional wrestling match? You get Misfits, the 2025 feature film that is redefining the holiday genre.

In this episode, Joe sits down with writer/director Kris McMenamin to peel back the curtain on this ambitious project. Kris shares the deeply personal inspiration behind the story—born from his own experiences with loss—and how he turned a $60,000 budget and 18 months of weekend shoots into a polished, professional feature.
