                      • Episode 142: Hulk Hogan in a Blender

                        This week on #SlapperCast, as we leave a rowdy gig in the Texas Rennaissance Faire campgrounds, we continue our discussion of music biopics. What would it take to make a good one, what makes them bad, and a few ideas we have for good ones.

                        (CORRECTION from Chad: "Bowie was kicking a cocaine addiction during his Berlin Trilogy period, not heroin. My bad.")

                                • Episode 141: Dee Snider Played Himself

                                  The story behind BLAGMATIC's "hidden" track, the audiobook of Bruce Springsteen's autobiography, why music biopics are often bad, and what makes them good when they're good.

                                  NOTE: Stevie Van Vandt does indeed read the audiobook of his memoir, and it pretty much sounds exactly as ECH envisioned it (see link below).
