Dirk Marshall was raised in a mom and pop video store in a small town. Growing up amongst the illustrious backdrop of VHS Box art, he learned about the world from the works of William Friedkin, Frank Henenlotter, and Penelope Spheeris. Now on VH US he sits down with people who's profession is portrayed in a film to talk about what it is like to have that profession and about the film he has assigned them.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-08T08:26:41.411838+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/vh-us-85964"},"episode":{"title":"Punk Samurai and Afro Samurai (with Chris Boylan)","slug":"punk-samurai-and-afro-samurai-with-chris-boylan","published_at":"2025-12-16T08:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/vh-us-85964/punk-samurai-and-afro-samurai-with-chris-boylan","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/vh-us-85964","url":"https://vh-us.com/episodes/punk-samurai-and-afro-samurai-with-chris-boylan-TVOCID3T","audio_url":"https://cdn.simplecast.com/audio/8bb9eae7-d37b-4dcb-bdfb-58934919ad1e/episodes/da54989c-f4b8-4c47-9022-1739f91799d4/audio/18ecb63a-c4dc-4a0a-be1e-ca87675f03bb/default_tc.mp3?aid=rss_feed&feed=_CA4V_xV","summary":"In this episode I ask animator Chris Boylan to pair something from the world of animation with my movie pick which is Punk Samurai aka Punk Samurai Slash Down.
