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":"Season 23: Episode 1-  Film Discoveries with Ryan Gowland","slug":"season-23-episode-1-film-discoveries-with-ryan-gowland","published_at":"2026-02-17T08:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/vh-us-85964/season-23-episode-1-film-discoveries-with-ryan-gowland","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/vh-us-85964","url":"https://vh-us.com/episodes/season-23-episode-1-film-discoveries-with-ryan-gowland-2hS5hBCU","audio_url":"https://cdn.simplecast.com/audio/8bb9eae7-d37b-4dcb-bdfb-58934919ad1e/episodes/2de7f9d8-468e-48e7-8093-04c9724a4ae7/audio/1734f809-c8e7-4ac0-9ac1-68fbca7f017a/default_tc.mp3?aid=rss_feed&feed=_CA4V_xV","summary":"It is a new season and here we go! Every year we welcome a guest or two to talk about the 5 most memorable film discoveries of the last 12 months. This year we have Ryan Gowland (we gave Lindsay a break as she had just recorded one as well.) Ryan always brings interesting picks and Dirk does what he always does. We hope that you find something enjoyable here because either way we both probably now own 5-6 more dvds and blu-rays.","meta_description":"It is a new season and here we go!
