PulP NONFICTION
PODCAST WITH THEO LOVE
A podcast
MOSTLY ABOUT DOCUMENTARY FILMMAKING AND THE PEOPLE TRYING TO SURVIVE IT.
I’ve made a few documentaries (The Legend of Cocaine Island, Alabama Snake, The Furry Detectives). Some worked. Some didn’t.
This podcast is a way to stay connected with other people doing the same job. It’s focused on the premium documentary space — journalism for movie lovers. The kind with budgets, recreations, and a cinematic finish.
We talk about funding, pitching, shooting, editing, burnout, and whatever else comes up.
Documentaries used to be the work of guerrilla journalists with a camera and conviction. Now they’re major productions with techno cranes, Panavision lenses, and starwagons for the SAG recreation cast. As true stories draw bigger audiences — and budgets — the business of nonfiction has started to look a lot like Hollywood.
Pulp Nonfiction focuses on that shift: the premium doc world of cinematic scale, commercial pressure, and packaging facts into pulpy entertainment.
