Cinema Death Cult

Welcome to the second part of our two-part discussion of the cinematic universe of The Who.

Colin and Adam talk the movie Tommy and the music of The Who before smashing their podcast equipment.

The free version of Tommy with Spanish subtitles is here.

We watched three movies based on the music of The Who: Quadrophenia, Tommy and the documentary The Kids are Alright.

Kids are Alright is on YouTube here.

The free version of Tommy with Spanish subtitles is here.

The ARP synthesizer documentary is here.

Colin's a huge Who fan. Adam runs hot and cold on them. Tensions arise. How will this disagreement impact the podcast? Tune in next week to find out!

The conversation was two hours long and it's split in two. Also, it happened in early November and computer problems kept it from getting posted, which is why Adam describes the election as "looming."

Adam and Colin talk Borat and fatigue with the Trump era.

In honor of Halloween, Adam reads his 2016 article "Sudden and Unexplained: The Sleep Deaths That Inspired Nightmare on Elm Street" and selections from the sample chapter he wrote for a book proposal based on the article. Literary agents: that book proposal is yours for the taking: [email protected].

Here's the Midnight in the Desert episode Adam was on. Looks like you need to buy a membership to listen. The host was Heather Wade. Glad the episode is still up

Colin and Adam watch the first two Friday The 13th movies and finally solve the mystery of who the real murderers are (Jason and his mom).

Also, it's our 13th episode. Wow. Serendipity. Can't wait to see what we're going to do for episodes 69 and 420.

This is the documentary Adam mentions. This is a great story about the Maine hermit we briefly mention. All the information about Tom Savini was from Savini's wiki page. You can get to it this great search engine called google. Check it out!

Our longest episode yet. We were laughing and vibing. Being bros.

We watch two classic monster movies based on songs by The New York Dolls and Edgar Winter.

The sound cuts out on this right before I launch into a banger riff on how Mr Myagi is racist but it's not a big deal because the racism doesn't hurt anybody. When we were recording on Zencastr, my track stopped recording for about 10 minutes and never synched back up with Colin. I'm very disappointed because it was an interesting conversation that took a lot of directions I didn't expect and I like the audio editing I did on the rest of the track.

Anyway, we talk about "The Karate Kid" on this one. Colin thinks Ally Sheedy was 30 in "The Breakfast Club" but Adam sweeps his leg with a google search.

Colin and Adam discuss the surreal, emotionally charged new Charlie Kaufman movie "I'm Thinking of Ending Things."

Adam and Colin watched Yasujiro Ozu's Tokyo Story after seeing it topped a 2012 poll of greatest movies of all time published in Sight and Sound Magazine. We also watched Gallipoli to round out our interest in World War I movies.

I don't know. It's a good episode and we say some cool stuff but I guess I don't have much to say about it. Adam liked Tokyo Story _more than Colin. We talk about kidnapping and _Lethal Weapon but don't spend much time on Gallipoli.

My computer wasn't plugged in when we were recording so I drop out at the end. Does everybody know that Adam writes these descriptions? Anyway, I'm still alive and I hope nobody gets too worried.

Also, I'm 100 percent correct about Paul Schrader and Ozu.

If you've ever wondered what it's like to watch a movie with Adam, wonder no more. He recorded a commentary track for the classic 1979 low-budget indie Australian end-times car chase movie Mad Max. The movie's streaming on Netflix as of Sept., 2020, so if you're feeling lonely, play the episode as a commentary track and hang out with an intense but chill weirdo from New Jersey.

(Audio cuts off around the 54 minute mark. I figured out the problem but can't fix it. Sorry!)
