Feelin' Film Podcast: Sgt. Stubby

Feelin’ Film: “Sgt. Stubby”

January 16, 2020

A family-friendly podcast centered around the emotional experience of watching a film

On this very special episode of the Feelin’ Film podcast, I join co-hosts Aaron White and Patrick Hicks alongside film critic and history teacher Don Shanahan to discuss the making of Sgt. Stubby, what lies ahead in the film franchise, my views on theatrical distribution in the modern age, and how to effectively make historical fiction for kids.
