About this listen

Welcome to the very first episode of Real Movie Stuff, where Charles Kirkland Jr. proves he's not just a film critic—he's a film nerd with credentials. Charles spills the popcorn on his journey from podcast co-host to accredited movie maestro and shares the behind-the-scenes scoop on the Light Reel Film Festival (spoiler: it's kind of a big deal).

Joined by Producer Mike, the duo dives into horror films—what they love, what haunts them, and why Ryan Coogler might be the horror hero we didn’t know we needed. They break down Sinners vs. Black Panther (yes, that’s a real comparison), chat about the evolution of scary cinema, and remind us that good horror is less about jump scares and more about smart storytelling.

If you're into movie talk, festival gossip, and hot takes with heart, this episode's got you covered. And don’t worry—no actual critics were harmed in the making of this podcast.
