Welcome to the One Hundred & Forty-Third Edition of The Chronicles Of Podcast, These are The Chronicles of Valentina Visintin
In this edition of The Chronicles of Podcast, we sit down with Valentina Visintin, a renowned special FX makeup artist and metal vocalist. Valentina takes us on a journey through her early career in Milan and the Italian film industry, her transition to working with Millennium FX in London, and the creative process behind designing and applying makeup for film and TV. We also discuss her role in the EffectUs Association, which promotes special FX makeup and mentors the next generation of artists.
Also this week, the boys dive into their latest antics. Tom pitches the idea that navigating a McDonald’s drive-thru should be part of the driving test, and we can’t help but question who thought Oreo-flavoured Coca Cola was a good idea. Tom also makes a valiant attempt to explain the ins and outs of fantasy football to Jamie—chaos ensues! Plus, we pay a touching tribute to the amazing Michelle Kerr from Cosa Nostra, who sadly lost her battle with cancer.
As always, we bring you our classic segments: Callum’s Teachings ponders what would happen if an astronaut got jury duty, Tom’s Journal delivers the funniest internet finds of the week, and Jamie’s audience participation challenge gets creative by asking for your favourite unconventional sandwich fillings.
