In time for Christmas 2018, James Hake talks to high school friend Anthony Solorzano, director of the independent film "Varsity Punks," a coming-of-age comedy/sports movie set in the San Gabriel Valley near Los Angeles. Website: http://varsitypunks.com | IG: https://www.instagram.com/varsitypunks/ SIDE NOTE: Last year on Christmas Eve 2017, James interviewed the music writer for the film "Varsity Punks," AJ Gallardo, who also wrote and recorded "The Hake Report" theme song. See AJ's interview from Big Bear here: https://youtu.be/ZbzkBdpFIY0 Anthony toured 14 states across the country to hold film screenings in places like Ironton, OH; Buffalo, NY; Portland, OR; Sacramento, CA.... The film is based on Anthony's experience growing up in El Monte, CA. Actor Efren Ramirez, who played Pedro in Napoleon Dynamite, plays the coach in the movie. Anthony wants to talk about their friendship, the DIY spirit, American new wave cinema, and representation of subcultures/minorities in cinema. James wants to talk about politics and religion — Christianity, Trump, immigration, white people, why minorities are Democrats, etc. Anthony gets some tough questions from callers. Call-in: 888-775-3773. Live Sunday 9am PT (11CT/12ET). James takes your calls live on The Hake Report.
