2. Katy Perry: Part of Me

Listen Later

My guest for this month is Clarko Clarko, and he’s joined me to discuss the film he chose for me, the 2012 tour documentary Katy Perry: Part of Me. You can follow the show on Twitter @cinemagadfly.

Show notes:

  • The film follows the tour for her Teenage Dream album
  • It was produced by Max Martin and Dr. Luke; musical masterminds
  • Her next album was Prism
  • The film features her relationship with Russell Brand, who is probably unmarriable
  • I’m apparently a Highbrow kind of guy, with very particular tastes in music, film, and comic books
  • Belle & Sebastian are a somewhat more laid back affair
  • I highly recommend everyone watch the Jonathan Demme directed Talking Heads film Stop Making Sense
  • I believe Life Is But a Dream is the Beyoncé documentary
  • Katy Perry’s parents are not actually Televangelists, but they’re close
  • This is what a combination of Whitesnake and Kanye West looks like
  • Britney Spears was a Mouseketeer
  • Lana Del Rey is not a good live performer
  • We find similarities between Katy Perry’s career and that of golfer Tiger Woods
  • Chris Carraba is “this guy” from Dashboard Confessional
  • NOFX is lead by a guy who calls himself Fat Mike
  • Oh Honey
  • Both Clarko and I think Disneyland is basically the best thing in the world
  • This film takes place during Katy Perry’s Candy Land period
  • Walt Disney, Steve Jobs, and John Lasseter; three people I would love to be compared to
  • June is where Clarko is currently putting his Katy Perry derived inspiration to work
