Hello Boys and Girls,

Joining me today on the Podcast, we’re taking a detour off the main highway and into the wonderfully odd, clever, and cinematic world of filmmaker John Putch. You know him from his long directing career, his indie gems like the Route 30 trilogy, and his decades of work in film and television — but today we’re zeroing in on something a little different: his hilarious, low‑budget‑on-purpose, high‑charm motorcycle videos on YouTube. These shorts blend road‑trip Americana, deadpan humor, and the kind of creative freedom only a rider with a camera and a mischievous streak can pull off. We’ll talk about the bikes, the destinations, the characters, the comedy, and the craft behind these deceptively simple moto films. So grab your helmet, settle in, and let’s roll into the world of PutchFilms.
