Hey!  Welcome to episode zero of the Post Relevant Podcast, with your host Phil Ristaino.  This is a brand-spanking-new podcast created by actor/artist/musician Phil as a way of celebrating the rebirth and imminent demise of the nigh-eternally defunct Post Relevant Movement, a movement for the End of the End of Time.  It's just a joke, really.  The Post Relevant Podcast is an optimistic excuse to explore Phil's interests in film, art, music, symbolism, interpretation, the esoteric and occult, conspiracy, spirituality, extra-terrestrial and astronomical ideas, the surreal and absurd, lost histories and future mysteries, and whatever else lurks in the periphery of his cosmic eye.  Hopefully this podcast will, somehow, be entertaining for whosoever ears stumble upon it. 

Show notes for episode zero:   1. Introduction (featuring the Post Relevant Movement theme song, written, recorded and produced by Allen Towbin and Phil Ristaino.  2.  Phil greets the listener, waxes semi-poetically/semi-pathetically about our train wreck of modern times, and, eventually, he cries.  3. Phil presents a recent recording of his acapella interpretation of the song "Piece of Dirt" by They Might Be Giants.  4. Phil talks about his fascination with the hidden alchemical story inside the 2018 film "Under the Silver Lake,"  written and directed by David Robert Mitchell.  5.  Phil and his brother, animator and comic artist Andy Ristaino have a conversation about their love of the film "Under the Silver Lake," and prime the listeners for the epic upcoming series, where they launch an exhaustingly detailed investigation and interpretation of the the film "UTSL."  They hope and pray that you, the listener, will follow them as they strive to discover what mysteries swim cryptically beneath the surface of the most silvery of lakes.   6. We finish the episode with a special treat, as Phil plays you the entire Agents of Venus song "The Post Relevant Movement."
