Let's Talk Ten

by DAN FISHER

Dan Fisher and his guests come up with Top Ten lists relating to pop culture --Movies/TV/Music/Etc. -- and then they compare notes. "Winning" arguments over what's the "best" is never the point. It's just people talking about the stuff they love and why they love it. Sometimes the conversation is si...

6/23/26	MINI-EPISODE #5 (REMIX) – THE TWILIGHT ZONE with Michele Mantynen & Josh Chambers	A remix/re-edit of an early “mini-episode” from 2023. MICHELE MANTYNEN and JOSH CHAMBERS, social media caretakers for "Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast" and “Fun for All Ages with Frank Santopadre”, are both certified "Twilight Zone" fanatics. Dan, on the other hand, is more of a casual fan. For this “round table” discussion, each had the tricky task of choosing just three of their favorite TZ episodes to talk about. As usual, the discussion is not as much about "whic...						48m 31s
6/15/26	EP. #79 – DADS with Eric Todd	Dan celebrates Father’s Day a few days early with fellow podcaster ERIC TODD (This Week in Charles Bronson) as they talk about their favorite depictions of fatherhood in movies, TV shows, and pop songs – while also discussing, with frankness, sensitivity, and humor, their relationships with their fathers and with their own children. There’s plenty of surprises in the lists, plus a lot of amazing sound clips – and a cameo appearance by Eric’s 10-year-old son, Noah. Because t...						1h 04m 50s

12/22/25	EP. #66 – HOLLY-JOLLY HOLIDAY SPECIAL! with Rick Goldschmidt and Musical Guests Fisher & Markle	Since our listeners have been very, very good this year, Let’s Talk Ten is celebrating the season with a wide-ranging, enthusiastic salute to classic RANKIN/BASS holiday specials. Rudolph, Frosty, the Little Drummer Boy, the Miser Brothers – they’re all here, along with the amazing RICK GOLDSCHMIDT, the official historian/biographer for Rankin/Bass Productions, serving as our expert guide. Rick fondly remembers the genius of Arthur Rankin Jr. and Jules Bass; their extraordinary collaborators ...						1h 05m 05s
12/8/25	EP. #65 – THE RETURN OF DANNY PEARY!	Legendary film writer and critic DANNY PEARY’s previous episodes (#40 - #41: Movies I Loved When I Was a Kid) were so enormously popular that host Dan Fisher invited him back to talk about whatever he wanted. Here, then, are fascinating stories of Danny’s student years at Wisconsin and USC -- and his memorable encounters with legendary directors and performers: Liv Ullman, Jean-Luc Godard, Robert Altman, Fritz Lang, actress Erica Gavin, director/editor Mark Robson, John Carradine, Marti...						47m 03s
11/24/25	EP. #64 -- DISABILITY VISIBILITY IN CINEMA with Kristen Lopez	KRISTEN LOPEZ returns to the show, for a thought-provoking and thoroughly entertaining conversation about representation of the physically and mentally disabled in cinema. As a professional film critic and as a disabled person herself, she brings a perspective that is not only personal but also steeped in her extensive knowledge of film and its history. Her new book, “Popcorn Disabilities”, examines how Hollywood has dealt with disabled characters (and the actors who portray them)...						1h 06m 09s
11/10/25	EP. #63 – ALTERNATE OSCARS: 1970’S with Larry Karaszewski	Award-winning screenwriter LARRY KARASZEWSKI (Ed Wood, The People Vs. O.J.: American Crime Story) and Dan happen to share two mutual passions: movies from the 1970’s, and everything to do with the Oscars. For this episode, they combine these into a historical overview of, arguably, the greatest decade for American cinema, as chronicled by its Academy Award winners and nominees – with plenty of discussion over which films and artists (in their opinions) should really have won or a...						1h 06m 56s
10/27/25	EP. #62 – THRILLS AND CHILLS! with Lori Cardille	For our third annual Halloween celebration, actress Lori Cardille joins the party to talk about her starring role in the cult classic “Day of the Dead”, the legacy of George Romero, and most dear to her heart – memories of her father Bill Cardille, a.k.a. “Chilly Billy Cardille”, host of Pittsburgh’s long-running monster-movie show, “Chiller Theater”. There will be shrieks of terror and howls of laughter as Lori and Dan also discuss their all-time favorite horror movies, Lori’s childhoo...						51m 47s
10/13/25	EP. #61 – DESERT ISLAND EVERYTHING with Will Harris and Ally Harris	We’ve all been asked this question at least a few times in our lives: “If you were stranded on a desert island and could bring only one thing – what would you bring?” Now -- narrow that selection down to just one movie, one album, or a boxed set of the entire run of a television series. If that were the case, what would you bring? Entertainment journalist/interviewer WILL HARRIS (The A.V. Club, Vulture) and his college-age daughter ALLY are put into this imaginary conundrum,...						55m 49s
9/29/25	EP. #60 – A CONVERSATION with JOHN ASHTON of the Psychedelic Furs	JOHN ASHTON, former guitarist and songwriter for the legendary PSYCHEDELIC FURS (“Love My Way”, “Pretty in Pink”) is on the show, to talk about his life in music, the people he’s met along the way -- and especially the music that influenced him and made everything possible. Dan mostly listens, as John talks about The Beatles, Bowie, ACDC, Lou Reed, touring with the Talking Heads and Echo and the Bunnymen – and how a terrible auto accident would lead him to first encounter the Sex Pistol...						1h 06m 21s
