Back Porch Podcast

With two new songs out in the world (that absolutely rip) and their Online Telethon Extravaganza to Raise Sixty Nine Dollars for the Members of Every Time I Die on Saturday, we proudly present our top three Every Time I Die songs of all time.

We are joined again by the one and only Duke of Shreddage, Mike Pellegrino from LATEWAVES.

We also reveal our favorite ETID riff of all time, our favorite Keith Buckley lyric of all time and the best ETID breakdown of all time.

Is this the greatest Back Porch Podcast episode of all time? We don’t know. But we do know we needed to use “of all time again.” So, enjoy the conclusion to our series on the Top 5 Every Time I Die Songs and let us know what your list looks like!

Way back in April, Every Time I Die vocalist Keith Buckley revealed they had recorded 16 of the best songs they’d ever written.

When we heard that, we decided that an Every Time I Die episode was in order. So we sent out the bat signal to the Duke of Shreddage, Mike Pellegrino from LATEWAVES.

On this episode we discuss our own relationship with Every Time I Die and how we came to love their music. From there we discuss our desert island Every Time I Die record and the three quintessential elements of an Every Time I Die song. Finally, in this episode we’ll reveal our and number five and number four picks from the Every Time I Die top five.

Tune back in next week as we round out the top five with our top three Every Time I Die songs.

After ranking our favorite David Fincher films ahead of the release of the acclaimed director's 11th feature length film, Mank, we made sure to watch his new movie the day it was released.

While watching with our good friend Joe Donlon, we decided to have a beer. Then another beer. Then another beer after that. Then one more beer after that. And, well... you get the idea.

When we were done, we had another beer and got on the mics to give our instant reaction and discuss where this movie fell within our rankings of David Fincher films.

We even were able to convince Joe to join in on the discussion. Not sure how we were able to accomplish that.

Anyway, spoliers ahead, of course. But to avoid any of that, check out Mank on Netflix.

This Friday, December 4th, David Fincher’s 11th feature length film Mank is being released via Netflix. Fincher has long been one of our favorite filmmakers so we decided that ahead of this momentous occasion we should take a look back at his filmography from 1992’s Alien 3 all the way through 2014’s Gone Girl. 

We’re joined by our friend and filmmaker John Yost from Fifth Column Features to discuss Mank, Fincher’s various filmmaking techniques, and to rank all of his films up into this point.

So before you pop your popcorn and sit down to watch Mank this weekend, join us on the back porch, crack a beer, and let’s take a look at the career of one of the greatest American filmmakers.

Today’s episode is the final installment in our three-part series on magnetic movie villains (seriously, neither Magneto, nor Insane Clown Posse will be on this list). We'll discuss our number 2 and number 1 picks, though Beam and Corey do have an overlap in this episode so they will be discussing 3 total movies.

Once again, we’ll be joined by our friend and filmmaker Micah Khan whose work has been featured on Robert Rodriguez’s El Rey Network. He also recently directed an experimental short film, Meetcute on Danceworld, which David Benioff, co-creator of HBO’s Game of Thrones, said he’d “never seen anything quite like it before. I was smiling the whole way through. It’s fresh, original, and it kicks ass.” 

Spoilers abound in the episodes ahead so proceed with caution if you haven’t seen these films.

Magnetic movie villains...so you mean, like Magneto right? No, we absolutely do not mean Magneto. 

This episode marks the first in a three-part series on magnetic movie villains. In this first episode, we’ll be discussing what it means to be a movie villain who is magnetic, revealing a couple of honorable mentions and discussing our number 5 picks.

At first glance, you’re probably thinking “what the hell does one have to do with the other?” And honestly, not a whole lot.

But, you know when you have a friend and, for the most part, your musical tastes line up fairly consistently? And then there’s just that one artist that you just can’t seem to agree on? Well that’s what this is. Corey really loves Drake, while Beam does not. Beam really loves the Foo Fighters and Corey thinks they’re overrated.

In this episode, we’ll be joined again by John Franciosa who will play the judge as Beam tells Corey why he’s wrong about the Foo Fighters and Corey tells Beam why Drake deserves his respect (musically speaking anyways).

There’s no denying early-to-mid-2000s emo music was awesome. We both have fond memories of being at our favorite local venue, lost in a sweaty sea of people in band t-shirts while singing along to bands like Taking Back Sunday, Thursday or Boys Night Out.

In this week’s episode, we’re joined by our good friend John Francisoa to reminisce about those days, discuss the history of emo music and reflect on the problematic nature of the third wave in emo. Upon doing so, we realize there may have been a few cringe-y moments from bands we overlooked and some we should have seen coming. 

Then we rank our top five bands from that era that haven’t aged well. Because that’s the whole point of the show.
