Oscar and Emmy winning director TJ Martin discusses growing up with parents who were in a pioneering rock band in early ‘80s Seattle, making movies about beer pong, Tina Turner and a high school football team in Memphis, along with his process and goals of storytelling. If you want to prep for or follow up after listening with TJ’s work, a good start would be “Last Cup”, “Undefeated”, “LA92” and “Tina”. This episode is meant for a mature audience, and there are discussions of assault and trauma.
