Listen "The Man, the Myth, the Movie Magician—My Dad with Tom Bellissimo"
Episode Synopsis
This week’s episode is a special one—because Maddie is joined by someone who helped shape the magic behind the scenes: her dad. With over 40 years in the film and TV industry as a special effects artist, he’s the man behind the sparks, smoke, and cinematic chaos. But today, he’s in the spotlight (well, sort of). Maddie baked him one of his favorite treats—a rich, fudgy brownie—and sat down to talk about what he's learned over his 70 years of life. From wild on-set stories to reflections on creativity, aging, and fatherhood, this conversation is full of heart, humor, and the kind of wisdom you only get from someone who’s truly lived it. Grab a cozy snack, and join us for a sweet, slow moment of connection.
