A Little Independent is a movie podcast hosted by two lifelong movie-lovers sharing their love of independent, obscure, or just plain weird movies. Hosts Ryan Buck and Todd Burnaska are long-time friends and film fanatics who have been on their respective missions to find and share with one another movies that don’t get all the attention…or the CGI. And some that might just be a little too strange to exist even at all. Alas, Todd and Ryan have been discovering and discussing these types of movies for years and now they are thrilled to share the experience with you. Yeah, it may get weird...But you might also make a new friend.Alioverya Productions, 2022

    Friends; Countrymen; Highwaymen; Indie movie fans and cool cats in general, do we have a tried-and-true treat for you. What started out as some kind of practical joke by Todd turned out to be one of our best movies yet. Sure, on the surface a film about a teenage girl in sensual love with her widower father who then, once he starts dating, turns to extreme violence leading to a significant confrontation with a fierce topless female boxer sounds like a bad time, but holy sh*t the joke is on us! This movie is amazing and in this episode: Todd reveals his favorite non-masculine bar drink; We discuss at length the proper clothing for opening and shutting down a disgusting local bar; Ryan brings a savage takedown to locker-room culture, possibly inspired by years of bullying, Todd talks lingerie shopping do’s and do not’s; Somehow we completely dismantle all of Parrot-Head culture and we vote on our favorite topless boxers of the last half-century. As always, thank you for listening to our show, topless or otherwise and if you tell someone about our show, email us and let us know you did it, we will send you a topless photo. alittleindependentpodcast@gmail.com #waitwait #arewerolling #montedoroforever #teamjulie #teambeth #youneedfuel

  • Interview with Jason Krawczyk
    Jan 12 2026

    Indiependents, boy, are we just defenestrated with glee over the fact that we had the privilege of interviewing Writer/Director (amongst other incredible talents) Jason Krawczyk; and not only did we get his name nearly correct this time, but we also found out what his ultimate funeral honorarium would be! That was not an intention of this interview, but we got that and so much more! We could not be more stoked at how awesome and cool Jason is and again, how much we LOVE his movies. Listen ahead to hear about defenestration, Ess, Zane and so much more! Thank you, Jason, for doing this and for your art. Of course, obsessively watch He Never Died and Don’t Mess with Grandma aka Sunset Superman; but also check out the shop Jason co-owns www.littleghostsbook.com (Jason has a screenwriting workshop coming up starting January 21); he has written several publications, including “An Earth That Knows Magic” and has his first novel coming out soon. As we said it. This filmmaker gets us and we are so excited for this conversation. His new film RooOOooOOoom Mates is in production now and Jason, if you need to defenestrate two podcasters in your new movie – we’re in! Thank you for listening and please get at us to tell us how many times you’ve been defenestrated: alittleindependentpodcast@gmail.com #waitwait #arewerolling #montedoroforever #littleghostsbooks

  • Don't Mess with Grandma aka Sunset Superman
    Dec 25 2025

    Indie movie friends and people with any inclination toward joy in any way…Watch Don’t Mess With Grandma aka Sunset Superman right now if you haven’t, yet and skip listening to this episode. We’ll wait. Cool. Alright, now we bring you discussion on a perfect film; a writer/director makes a rare second appearance on the show; and there is a tremendously good f**king reason for that. In an episode that is going to “shock your balls off” we discuss the film, Don’t Mess with Grandma aka Sunset Superman. In an episode where Todd forgets how we do the show, we discuss, what Chicago actor energy looks like; Ryan shares why he failed every math class in his life; Todd is shocked to hear Ronnie James Dio has passed away; We discuss what a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles/Universal Soldier/Toxic Avenger crossover might look like; Todd shares which mature granny film he accidentally watched part of first; Ryan decides to watch Titanic, finally; Todd sings all of Thriller (to the tune of Holy Diver) and we shockingly don’t talk about Billy Zane the ENTIRE EPISODE. And hey, we are doing this show because we get to interview writer/director Jason Krawczyk which will constitute our next episode! If you have ever been defenestrated or know s slutty goat, get at us at alittleindependentpodcast@gmail.com Listen to the next episode to hear from Jason. Ess, please get us. #waitwait #arewerolling #montedoroforever #nocurtains #welovezane #zanezanezane #inzane #goatsluts #chickencornchowder #essrules #krawczykgate
