Is it Good?

Ep. 7 - The Fastest Guitar Alive

Sorry, no movie clips this week! Copyright strikes for music tend to be pretty harsh, so it's best to stay away from using them here. Use your imagination! Or don't! Either way it's probably not as disappointing as the real thing. This week, your hosts discuss Roy Orbison's first and only film foray, The Fastest Guitar Alive. I'll let you in on a secret: There's a reason it was the only one.

Some stuff in this one:

  • Deep ignorance about the history of popcorn (from the movie, not the hosts).
  • Redface, but they actually didn't know (except for the guy doing it).
  • Some of Orbison's worst lyrics.

  • A really dumb gun.
  • Thanks to Tom Lehrer for the use of our theme song, "Selling Out".
