Why hello there! You're probably here because you've heard Garrett's voice on The Drive Back Podcast. On the show, he and his good friend Adrian review movies that are both new and old, examine popular franchises, and discuss the nature of the movie industry itself. If you haven't heard his voice on the podcast, then you aren't listening to it and that needs to change.
This blog is an extension of the podcast, where he can expand on controversial reviews, review new releases as they come out, and post his popular Catching Up posts. The latter is where he gives small reviews of every film he watches of the course of a week, and reviews films he's seen and the ones he hasn't. He will also use the podcast to review music, games, shows, and whatever other media he wants!
His reviews come from the point of view of someone who's enjoyed film their whole life. He doesn't have a history of making film, but finds that when a review comes from a fellow audience member it has more weight. Most critics can seem high and mighty, and seemingly score movies on a skewed scale, where films like Godzilla are compared to Citizen Kane. Garrett's reviews are more like a teacher grading assignments in a class, where every film earns its score and comments based on its own merits and where the type of film doesn't matter in its scoring. Also, having fun is important in movies, so that is also reflected as well.
Outside of the podcast, Garrett is an avid film watcher, gamer, and theme park buff. He's been obsessed with story-telling and the power that film and other art forms have had in not just pop culture, but his own life. At the current moment, Garrett attempts to watch a movie every day, growing his already extensive bank of knowledge.
Garrett graduated from California State University with a Bachelor's in Business Administration with a focus in Marketing. What use this has in analyzing film has yet to be determined...
Garrett is also passionate about writing and creativity. His sessions playing Dungeons and Dragons have led him to writing and trying to publish his first book, based on the world he created for his friends for D&D. There are also several other stories and book in various stages, and another podcast that is currently in the works.
Garrett has many social media accounts, and is desperate for your attention. Follow him!
