On this week’s Blister Cinematic podcast, we’re talking with Elyse Saugstad, one of the stars of Here, Hold My Kid, about the hilarious new film she made with fellow professional skier, Jackie Passo, and their husbands Cody Townsend and Reine Barkered, who also happen to be professional skiers, which of course doesn’t matter, because this film is not about them. Elyse and Jonathan discuss the challenges of making comedies in 2023 and making films starring little kids; which actor is the best James Bond; and a whole lot more

We follow up last week’s conversation about one of the greatest ski & snowboard movies of all time, with the star of Apocalypse Snow, the snowboarding legend and pioneer, Régis Rolland. Régis and Jonathan discuss the making of the film; what interested him in getting on a snowboard in the first place, and Régis kindly answers some of the burning questions we raised about the film in last week’s conversation.

On Blister Cinematic, we talk about the craziest — and arguably the greatest — snowboard / ski / monoski / snowblade film of all time, Apocalypse Snow. This 26-minute film was seen by millions of people when it came out, and nearly 40 years later, it still feels wildly innovative, fresh, and amazing. Joining me to dive deep into this glorious, apocalyptic feature is Mountain Gazette owner & editor, Mike Rogge, and, the strikingly handsome Justin Bobb.
