Jj Meets World

Ever since seeing Snow White at the age of four, professor and filmmaker Greg Carlson has been in love with the language and world of film. He and the JJMW crew chill over topics covering all things cinema! Other topics of conversation include collective experience, Scottish heritage, genetic sequencing and more!

The masterful art of Punchgut has been a fixture of the FM area for years now. From corporate logo design and branding to concert posters and beer labels, Punchgut does it all. Also in this episode, the boys discover the next big thing in major motion picture crossovers!

If you collect vinyl records in the FM area, chances are you've run into Dean Sime. Besides being a devoted audiophile and record collector, Dean organizes the annual Fargo Record Fair! Plus the guy has a killer beard!

Artist, folklorist, writer, model and performer are some of the words that best describe today's guest, Sabrina Hornung (aka The Alabaster Disaster). Topics of discussion include working at the Fargo Theatre, burlesque, nude modeling, and what happens in Ypsilanti.

A new player has entered the game. Today's guest is our good friend Jason Jacobson. A creative marketing strategist by day and a comedian by night, Jason let's loose with the JJMW crew in an unfiltered, adult conversation that dives quickly into the gutter, and then tunnels deep inside the Earth. Also, lots of alliteration with the letter P.

Our good friend, legal professional Rachel Hoffman chills with us in the studio and she couldn't have picked a better day! JJ gets revved up over a Taco John's incident and that fills a solid ten minutes. Other topics include classic muppet movies, Super Punch-Out, Tim Curry, Michael Avenatti and a jar full of pickles.

Graphic designer Adam Wiedman and product design director Shannon Wiedman enter the studio (hungover) with stories galore! If you like tubing, if you like pickling, if you like making citizen arrests, then you are going to LOVE this episode of JJ Meets World!

In his triumphant return from Episode 3, Mike Ressl takes us through the hidden world of interactive art. Also, memories of making a really, really bad movie.

It's our TENTH EPISODE! Fargo Pinball impresario Bill Brooks and animated arcade aficionado Greg Carlson hold court on all matters relating to plungers, flippers and bumpers. Plus failed political candidate J.J. Gordon recites some top-shelf presidential monologues from popular cinema. JJ Meets World is available on iTunes, Google Play and YouTube!

Jackson Spade pops a squat in the studio to talk about his preternatural love for Michael Bay movies and how to excel at picking out music for strippers! Plus, hidden shames come to light as our dynamic duo opens the show with a discussion on Chinese food. Any chance we could bend your arm into giving us a rating on iTunes? That would be a swell action taken in kindness.

Get ready to meet your new favorite person! Brent Brandt is the co-founder of the South Dakota Film Festival, who has magical powers when it comes to entertaining famous celebs!

Joining us in the studio today is actor Rich Sommer, best known for playing Harry Crane on AMC's Mad Men, and Dr. David Wintersteen, Director of Theatre at Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota.
