This week we are pleased to have Andrei Mihailovic on to talk about two amazing Iranian films. It Was Just an Accident (2025) & The Salesman (2016)

Andrei is the guitarist in the punk band BEER as well as the guitarist in the Milwaukee based band, Cone Earth. Both are amazing and you should check out their music. Andrei is a huge film fanatic. I first meet him when my band played with BEER. I was wearing my “M” shirt and Andrei knew about the  Fritz Lang movie and we hit it right off. I knew then that I had to have him on the podcast.

This episode is a little different. We had some problems with the audio so we had to record our thoughts separately but we thought it was worth it to share our experiences with watching both of these powerful films. Thanks for being on Andrei. 

This week we have on local musician, Jack Charlton on the podcast. Jack is the vocalist and guitarist in the Idaho Falls rock band, Electric Rat. Jack chose to talk about Jimmy Eat Worlds 1999 album “Clarity” and we paired it with Racing Mount Pleasants self titled album from 2025. 

Be sure to follow Jack and Electric Rat to stay up to date on everything they are doing.
