The Marinade with Jason Earle Episode 98 | Justin Corsbie

Justin Corsbie. Justin is a filmmaker whose first feature length film is must viewing for any film lover and tailor made for fans of The Marinade. Hard Luck Love Song was inspired by the Todd Snider song “Just Like Old Times.” Snider is of course a frequent subject of conversation on this podcast and one of the most beloved guests in The Marinade’s history.

Hard Luck Love Song is a film in the spirit of The Marinade not only because of the Todd connection. It is a work born of a fit of inspiration, an improbable explosion of creativity from a filmmaker who had a vision, big dreams, and an uncompromising will to make his work come to life.
