EP76 | Looking Back At Liam's Favorite Soundbites From This Season
We have been putting out so many episodes recently, and so much incredible content, that I don't blame anyone for not being able to keep up with all of the new releases. In fact, with the Self-Quarantine Mini-Series being added onto the regular weekly release schedule, it's one hell of a commitment to stay up-to-date with everything ILWP is producing. Host Mike Pecci thought it would be a good idea to take a break from new content and see Ass. Producer Liam D. O'Brien's opinions on some of the episodes he's been part of since arriving in LA. This episode consists of Liam's favorite soundbites from Episodes 65 through 75.Quick Travel Guide:09:49 - EP65 | The Science of Cinematic Lighting (Guest Tim Kang of Quasar Science)19:33 - EP73 | Discovering the Cat's Butthole (Guest Shane Dering)28:02 - EP67 | Cinematography: Expanding Your Emotional Palette (Guest Oren Soffer)31:29 - EP75 | Post-It Spaceships & Designing For Star Wars (Guest Colie Wertz)46:36 - EP71 | Building Your Toolkit: The Dialect Coach (Guest Aaron Bluestein)51:13 - EP68 | Ash vs Evil Dead: How I Got The Gig (Guest Dana DeLorenzo)1:02:23 - EP74 | Creating A Bizarro World (Guests DJ7L & ESOTERIC of Czarface)1:13:34 - EP72 | The Power of Being Genuine (Guest Ted Sim)1:28:25 - EP70 | Killing The Banker (Guest Paul Pecci)1:39:01 - EP66 | The Life of a Hollywood Gaffer (Guest Mike Ambrose)2:01:35 - EP69 | The Porn Star (Guest Logan Pierce)Mike Pecci's IG:instagram.com/mikepecciILWP's IG:instagram.com/inlovewiththeprocesspodLiam D.

EP75 | Post-It Spaceships & Designing For Star Wars (Guest Colie Wertz)
Have you ever stood in line at a coffee shop and stared at your phone? Of course you have, and our guest, Colie Wertz, does that all the time.

The SELF-QUARANTINE MINI-SERIES 03 | Signing Up For Unemployment
Over 6 million Americans filed for unemployment last week and apparently every one of them watched Tiger King.

EP73 | Animation: Discovering the Cat's Butthole on Adult Swim (Guest Shane Dering)
Animation and cinema constantly reference each other, and the animated films of the 1980s captivated Host Mike Pecci through their exaggerated motion, their impossible camera angles, and their ability to break all the rules of physics and cinema. The insane amount of time and effort it takes to create animations, however, brings the art form to another level. Our guest this week, Shane Dering, breaks down his shared love of animation, his process animating for Adult Swim, and how he incorporates his sense of humor within his work... like animating a cat’s butthole.Shane Dering's IG:instagram.com/shanederingMike Pecci's IG:instagram.com/mikepecciILWP's IG:instagram.com/inlovewiththeprocesspodLiam D.
