Award-winning actor, producer, and storyteller John DeMakus joins Doyle in the studio for a deep and delightful episode packed with heart, humor, and unexpected time travel. From his acclaimed films Remember and Love Wins to his YouTube sports show and voiceover career, John shares the magic behind his work—and how one short film sparked a creative revival in an emerging actress.
We explore:
- The emotional weight of short films and the art of leaving a lasting impact in 10 minutes
- The power and pitfalls of AI in storytelling
- A haunting AI-generated radio play about a man who walks out of time—and back into a world that moved on
- A meta-theatrical comedy about unrequited love, the fourth wall, and toasters
- A hilarious 90s-style movie trailer parody with coffee, drama, and imaginary friends
- And a moving tribute that reminds us why John’s voice truly resonates
Tune in for stories that bend reality, explore loss and rediscovery, and remind us all of the joy in creating, connecting, and occasionally narrating life like a movie trailer.
