608. Josh Sathre & Tommy O’Rourke “Barney & Herb”

Welcome back for another exciting Filmmakers chat!

I met Tommy O’Rourke and Josh Sathree when we held the theatrical premiere of the episode “Hairy Herb” of their series, “Barney & Herb,” at Sherman Oaks Film Festival 2023. Thanks to some pre-fest emails, I wasn’t too surprised when their presents, screening and Q&A at the festival were extremely fun. The comedy series they created is filled with humor, but also heart, intelligence and thoughtfulness.

I sh*t you not… we emailed back and forth about recording this podcast more times than I can recall.
But damn if Josh isn’t a film producer extraordinaire; he did not let this ball drop. It may have taken us two years, but we did it!

One special favor. First, watch “Barney & Herb” on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@GrandpaBunny

And you know what? Even if you don’t watch it, give it a great review on Letterboxd at https://boxd.it/PFQe

Do the right thing, folks.
