Docs Till Death episodes

  • Sorry, Not Sorry.

    This week, the DTD crew delivers it's first mini-sode, and its a good one!  And you can believes us about that, because we're impartial.  For the most part, the episode is an apologia for being unapologetic.  But we also touch on the ways jam bands have influenced Geoff, Dave Grohl, punk house disagreements, and spooky Halloween-themed punk bands (ever heard of a little band called The Misfits?).  Probably not, but you should give them a listen... AFTER you listen to this Podcast Awards nominated episode.

  • HATED: GG Allin-acula, Dead and HATED It

    We're ba-aaack!!!  That‘s right, ghouls and goblins, it’s October and Season 2 of Docs Till Death kicks off with Todd Phillip’s spooky tale of existential dread, "HATED: GG Allin and the Murder Junkies".  But Phillip‘s peek into the glory hole that is the life and times of GG Allin isn’t just a great watch for the Halloween season; since his death, even more than during his life, this is GG’s world, and we at DTD are just trying to figure out how to get by — without getting hit by one of those fecal smothered hot dogs.  So join us as we discuss all things GG, except his penis size (what kind of hacks do you take us for?!?!?).

  • The First Annual Grohlies (A Very Special Episode)
    We know we said we were taking a full month off, but WE CAN’T QUIT YOU!  So we’re back with a very special episode that doubles as an award show.  We get real serious with each other (letters are opened, some are read, and truths are spoken); then we disregard any effort towards self improvement and instead jump right into our first annual GROHLIES, the awards (named after the almighty Dave Grohl of THEM SIDEWAYS VULCANS fame) that we give out to somewhat random aspects of the movies we watched in season one.  This is a very silly one!  What’s more… you don’t even need to watch a movie to not really follow what we’re talking about, so give it a listen, then smash that subscribe button!

  • SLC PUNK: Portrait of a Serial Killer
    Some of you are probably asking “Are they seriously discussing SLC PUNK?!”  In response, we’d like to assure you,  “Yes.  Yes we are.”  But if you aren’t following this hypothetical conversation, you’re probably asking, “What the hell are they talking about?”   In that case, we’d like to explain: “We are discussing SLC PUNK for the final review-based episode of season one of Docs Till Death, the punk podcast where old punks discuss punk and hardcore documentaries in a very punk way.”  We’d also probably add, “while it might seem on, especially given our name, that we're discussing something other than a documentary, we’re always open to trying out new things (kink).  And since SLC PUNK has become something of a sacred cow for many punks who came of age in the late 90s, we figured that we'd ceremonially slaughter that milk machine to cap off our immensely successful first season.”

  • THE PUNK SINGER: a punk doc that Dan Rather definitely maybe watched, and is at least, likely familiar with

    Hey there, Doc-Heads!  We‘re back this week with THE PUNK SINGER, which follows the life and times of Mount Punkmore’s Kathleen Hanna.  If you’re curious why Hanna left Le Tigre during the height of the band’s popularity, it’s the documentary for you.  But… if you‘re curious to hear more about Geoff‘s sincere, deep, and somewhat uncharacteristic reaction to once passing Hanna on the street (IRL), then this is the PODCAST for you.  And, if that’s not enough, we now have 100% more sponsors and 100% less RHCP references.  Sounds good, right?  So find a comfy spot, open up that new jigsaw puzzle, and give it a listen!

  • SALAD DAYS: the Beginning of the End

    It’s that time, Doc-heads!  We’re back and this week we’re discussing Salad Days, which we just learned is about the almighty DC hardcore scene (and not the various tasty combinations of greens, other vegetables, fruits, and nuts).  You learn something new every day!  Anyway, after we overcame our initial disappointment, we discovered a doc that has much to appreciate (including Thirsting More, Egg Hunt, and Beefeater) — even though tomatoes are NEVER EVEN MENTIONED!  But we got you covered, smothered, and chunked.  So press play and lettuce bring you da heat!

  • AMERICAN HARDCORE gives David Byrne a run for his $

    It’s time, Doc-heads!  We’re back and we’re more like a family than ever before — with Grandpa Pete having senior moments and declaring his love for the "Big Brains" (?!?), Geoff Daddy letting you know that he’s really disappointed, and Young Matt refusing to stop f’n around with those g'damn devil sticks.  Hear all this and more in our new episode on American Hardcore.  It’s a classic, and OMG, there are SO MANY hc luminary talking heads in this one.  But don't stress, ‘cause we sort it all out (by spending way too much time talking about just a select few key players, including Flea and xMobyx).  See!  We got you covered!

  • Pete And Geoff Go To White Castle: The Documentary (with VERY SPECIAL guest)

    This week, the DTD crew "Pumps the brakes" (Refused) on watching documentaries  — which, strangely, makes the episode an easy entry point to our brand of punk podcast chaos.  But don’t worry, sports fans; the American Hardcore episode will be up next week.  In the meantime, Pete and Geoff do what they do best: keep it punk.  They ponder what they’ve learned and how they’ve grown.  They also work to see how many obscure references to mid 90's hardcore 7”s they can shove in while they make fun of each other.  And most excitingly, faithful listeners, you will be treated to a rare (and very spooky) screed from the PATRON saint of hardcore and Docs Till Death, Punko Destructo Esq. himself.  

    So give a listen to this punk therapy session, then spend the the rest of the week — until our American Hardcore episode drops — pondering life‘s newest mystery: has Pete become a low-key Victory records fan?

  • CHRISTCORE: This is Flavor Saviors, Not Flavor Savers

    This week, we watched ChristCore, a totally normal punk documentary about a totally normal sub-genre of punk.  So it makes sense that we had a totally normal punk conversation in which we discuss totally normal punk stuff -- such as what we imagine it’s like when the dudes from MITB hang out with the Infest crew, Spotify listener statistics, Chick-fil-A sponsored tours, and faith healers (of course!).   And oh yeah!  I almost forgot to mention that we spend A LOT of time singing in this one.   Turn on, tune in, get totally normal!

  • STRIFE: Geoff's ONE TRUTH

    In this one, we discuss Strife’s early tour video (VHS!!!), One Truth.  In the process, we confront one of the chief podcaster paradoxes: “Can a superfan suspended in reverie take on an analytical posture?“.  While Geoff waxes nostalgic, Pete re-evaluates his own tour behavior and Matt says “no more!” to mid 90s Oakleys.  It’s definitely a weird one, so you probably want to 1) x up, 2) break out the madeleines, and 3) give it a listen.
