This Podcast Should Be Played Loud

Allan Moyle’s Pop Rebellion Trilogy

On this week’s episode, we switch things up and dive deep into film director Alan’s Moyle obsession with musical misfits. We discuss youth in revolt, radio shock jocks, Christian Slater being a Residents fan, Samantha Mathis’ dreamy bob cut, unexpected porn star cameos, and bloated 90s movie soundtracks.  Film Discussed: Times Square (1980) Pump Up The Volume (1990) Empire Records (1995)

8 Mile

On this week’s episode, we have some of mom's spaghetti with vomit on our sweater already and watch Curtis Hanson’s 2002 rap battle epic 8 Mile. We discuss the film being so much more than a soundtrack vehicle, Eminem’s live-wire performance, misused southern accents in movies, Brittany Murphy short but sweet cinematic run, and TMI as a battle tactic.

Dig! with Daniel Berger

On this week’s episode, we are joined by Oscilloscope Labs' Daniel Berger to daytrip the twentieth anniversary remix of Ondi Timoner’s 2004 legendary rock doc Dig!. We discuss the real Dandy Warhols/Brian Jonestown Massacre band feud, Gen X’s bygone notions of selling out, musicians being the absolute worst, and checking back in on the psyche rock revival at 2022’s Levitation Fest.

Tupac Shakur

We dive into the varied but tragically short filmography of rap icon Tupac Shakur - who, by the age of 25, had not only released four seminal studio albums, but had acted in six feature films. The best known of them were released in his lifetime - gritty, realistic portraits of life on the streets, but his posthumous releases might be even more interesting. Films Discussed: Juice (1992) Poetic Justice (1993) Above The Rim (1994) Bullet (1996) Gridlock’d (1997) Gang Related (1997)

Honkytonk Man

On this week’s episode, Chadd punishes Alan for his Daft Punk worship by inflicting Clint Eastwood’s 1982 dustbowl film Honkytonk Man on him. We discuss Clint’s bluesy guitar licks, boomers trying to get their nephews laid, the real life tragedy of country legend Jimmy Rodgers, and the film’s depiction of the Beale Street Memphis scene.
