Episode 16, Paying Homage Paying homage in an artistic sense means acknowledging the inspiration or the influence on you.We are all standing on the shoulders of giants who have become before us. But do you acknowledge that and should you even acknowledge it? Parody is mocking the things that have come before you, while homage honors the things that have come before you. We talk about:“Parody is homage going sour” Brendan Gill https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brendan_Gill Quentin Tarantino https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quentin_Tarantino The Office British Version https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Office_(British_TV_series)Shameless British Version https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shameless_(British_TV_series) Psycho https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psycho_(1960_film) Pulp Fiction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulp_Fiction The Producers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Producers_(musical) Robin Hood: Men In Tights https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Hood:_Men_in_TightsSpace Balls https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaceballs Beckett https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beckett_(film)Ricky Takes Back His Emmy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZp6cR4bxbY Zanes top 3 List It Is Always Sunny In Philadelphia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%27s_Always_Sunny_in_Philadelphia Edgar Wright https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgar_Wright Kill Bill https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kill_Bill:_Volume_1 Thomas Top 3 List Stranger Things https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBjgFt6lVHM Blinding Lights by Weeknd https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NRXx6U8ABQ The Untouchables https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Untouchables_(film)If you like this podcast, please give us a positive review and tell your friends and fellow creatives about it.

Episode 15, Setting A Goal It is one thing to have a dream or epiphany of what you want to create. But it is an entirely different thing to get it done. There are a million ideas, but it all comes down to execution. How do you do it? Zane talks about collaborating and how it helps to have several partners to install accountability and be able to inspire each other when it becomes hard. Break the big project into smaller parts. Having too many projects is not healthy for yourself and everyone else. Podcast Memorable Marketing by MediaGroup Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/2vqAFsWORwHlLRGlPSYahn?si=ZsR1deDPSDmof5oi3-MVlQ Zanes podcast studio http://podcast.leadexpander.com/ Thomas Landing pages www.leadexpander.com Peter Aalbæk Jensen https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0421639/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 Zanes top 3 List Zane’s daily podcast: An Assemblage of Grandiose and Bombastic GrandiloquentsSpotify https://open.spotify.com/show/40vgZas2LI9ekkNfTzGuS7?si=ZEjp1fI2StuTTlVq9vYj3A24 Hour Musical https://www.24hourmusical.com.au Zanes podcast studio http://podcast.leadexpander.com/ Thomas Top 3 List The Eighteenth/Den Attende https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115588/?ref_=nm_knf_t4  Ib Tardini https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0850385/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1 Jørgen Ljunghdahl https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0515575/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1 Svend Abrahamsen https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1061881/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1Possessed/Besat https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0193763/?ref_=nm_knf_i2Mifune https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0164756/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_3 The Idiots https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0154421/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 Fucking Amal https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0150662/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 If you like this podcast, please give us a positive review and tell your friends and fellow creatives about it.If you want to suggest a topic, give us feedback or have any questions please email us at cravingcreativitypodcast@gmail.com
