This week Mike is joined by Gough, creator of Beernuts Productions - Gough is a legally blind filmmaker, comedian, actor, writer, friend of the show and an all-round fun guy to speak with!
This week Gough & Mike focus on Gough’s new comedy mockumentary called “How To Treat Women” by discussing satire in comedy and the challenges of making a mockumentary, especially for a blind man! They also discuss comedic timings, actor chemistry, backlash Gough has received from his comedy works (& how he's a “smut-peddler”), how certain comedy doesn’t age well, advantages of being an independent filmmaker and more! The chat is finished off with a talk on the bushfires that were affecting Australia around the time of this podcast being recorded.
Next week Gough returns to discuss the 10-year anniversary of his documentary “I Will Not Go Quietly”, how making the documentary was (or “docco” as the Auzzies call it), what happened after releasing the docco, what’s changed over the last 10 years and more!

Hello there! Instead of a standard episode of Genuine Chit-Chat, this week Mike wanted to showcase his new show; Star Wars: Comics In Canon – found on the podcast feed of our friends at Comics In Motion!
This release is both episodes 0 & 1 rolled into one! Episode 0 is where Mike explains what you can expect from SW Comics In Canon going forward along with what “Canon/Legends” in SW is and the timeline of the movies, while episode 1 is about The Rise Of Kylo Ren comic and kyber crystal “bleeding” – this show is for all Star Wars fans; younglings & veterans alike! Whether you’ve consumed all the content (we’d be impressed if you have) or are just a film newbie getting into a galaxy far far away, we’re sure you’ll enjoy this look into the wider Star Wars canon, through the comic-book lens!
Regarding content discussed in Episode 1, for the best listening, ensure you’ve seen The Force Awakens & The Last Jedi, seeing The Rise Of Skywalker is suggested but it’s not essential and there will be no spoilers for it within – this comic series takes place around 6 years before the events of Episode VII: The Force Awakens; so as TFA is 34 ABY, this comic mini-series is around 28 ABY (flashbacks between 18-25 ABY).
The Rise Of Kylo Ren is written by Charles Soule, with Will Sliney as the artist and Guru eFX as the colourist, issue #1 released December 2019 & issue #4 released March 2020.
If anyone has questions about Star Wars or the show in general, send Mike an email at StarWarsComicsInCanon@outlook.com.
Next week will be back to the usual GCC shows, so if you’re not into Star Wars, check in next week!
Chris & Dave of Comics In Motion were on episodes 63 & 75 of Genuine Chit-Chat and Mike was on episodes 75 & 100 of Comics In Motion!
In case you missed it, last week on GCC, Mike was joined by the powerhouse of hosts from the In The Black Podcast, their chat includes a great many topics, including “the talk” (not the birds & the bees) that black parents give to their children, they then discuss black identity, the importance of heritage, black history month, representation in the media, reparations, the future of Black America and much more, so check that out if you haven’t already!
