The Movie Loft Podcast
The Movie Loft Podcast features three Boston boys, Tony, Phil and Thom, in an old barn loft talking about '80s movies and memories.
The name and premise is also a nod to a titular Boston institution, The Movie Loft, featuring Dana Hersey, which ran on WSBK TV-38 throughout our formative years. This project started as an excuse to capture our conversations for posterity. Highlighting a different movie in each episode, we revisit some long forgotten memories, and in the process weave together a documentary of our salad days.
The point of this show is not to walk anyone through a movie scene by scene - we’re well aware you’ve been watching these flicks for decades. The aim is to discuss our deep appreciation for what it took to get each picture made, where we were when we experienced them, and how they’re a part of the zeitgeist of their times. Sure, we have some opinions, maybe even a few “hot takes”, but we’re really just here for your entertainment. Hopefully you’ll finish each episode feeling like you had a seat at our table.

The Malden Chronicles — Rooms For Rent
Another chapter in the Malden Chronicles is in! This time around it's just Thom with his brothers Jeff and Jamie (Jim to the unrelated) taking it out and cutting it up. These 28 Spring Street stories will now live in the annals of infamy for generations to come.
Now here's a little story I've got to tell, about one bad Barbara you know so well. It started way back in history, in a rooming house upon Spring Street. Malden, MA.
Here we are again with another Malden Chronicles periodical. We kick off in the usual place, right after a cowardly, deadbeat dad left his wife and 5 kids for (on) the neighborhood bicycle. And as if that wasn’t enough, doing everything thinkable to twist the knife and kill the lights on the way out. Don’t think you’ve won when someone takes that knee, there’s always a plan. She ain’t breaking up on impact. Mum had the capability to rebuild a better family. And we are that family. Better than we were before. Better, stronger, faster. I can’t help all the pop culture references, IFYKYK.
Trying to make some sense of it all, but I can see it makes no sense at all. Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor? 'Cause I don't think I can take anymore.
