This week we take our second look at the comic rockumentary with special guest Joe Macre. Joe was the original bass player for the acclaimed cult band Crack The Sky. Rolling Stone Magazine declared Crack The Sky "the Beatles of Baltimore." The magazine gave their eponymous first album their "debut of the year" award. Joe says "This Is Spinal Tap" best represents what it was like being in a rock band in the late-70s and early-80s. We don't talk much about the movie, but he keeps us entertained with the history of his band, and life on the road with acts like Frank Zappa, Styx, Boston, Foghat and Cheap Trick among others.

On the latest episode of YKY ( @Yippee-Ki-Yay Mother Podcast ) we are back to our Indian films. This one was recommended by a lot of you, so in keeping with the Halloween spirit this week's film is 2018's Tumbbad. Co-directed by Rahi Anil Barve, Anand Gandhi and Adesh Prasad. This is a atmospheric film about the myth of a God, gold coins and greed. It was a film that took 6 years to make. It is not a horror fest but the last 20 minutes....surprising and creepy.
