This episode we chat with Angelo, owner of local radical book shop War On Books. We cover everything from Angelo the person, the shop, the war in Palestine and Israel, and most importantly the Palestine Benefit show on July 15!

We talk about growing up in Philly, what music and authors shaped Angelo as a kid, writing poetry to heal, how stealing from Tower Records eventually lead to good things, reluctant but now open socialism, weird (and also good!) encounters while working, attempting to stay positive when you read a lot of doom and gloom, and much more!

Angelo's playlist-

Bark the Vote - Showcase Showdown

Bazooka Joe - Big Black

Well Paid Scientists - Dead Kennedys

Shaved Women - Crass

Thought Control - DFL

Uprising - Restarts

Don't Talk to Cops - Realicide Rex

Helicopter Spies - Swell Maps

Catch Angelo at the Golden Cactus on the first Tuesday of every month for trivia, and first & third Thursdays hosting poetry open mic at Blindhouse Beer. Follow @waronbooks to keep up with all of the pop ups!

Gather around children, we have a special pod for you today! We interviewed Victor Bonacore, independent movie director and actor, celebrating his most recent movie Thrust! We were connected by our friends the Midnight Creeps, who are also in the movie, and who were sooo kind to send us 3 unreleased songs that you can listen to on this podcast!

We were surprised to learn just how long this movie has been in the works, beginning with a band his sister Amy was in called Thrust! in the 90's, made up of girls who worked at CBGB & their friends. Victor shares the plot of Thrust!, which is set in post apocalyptic times where girl gangs run the world and most men are extinct. There are a few good ones left, but the 2 main characters - Aloe & Vera are on a quest to kill the worst of the worst, Dirtbag Mike. We also discuss logistics of making the movie, working with scream queen Linnea Quigley, troubles involving the police, how to get the perfect "plop" (that's a poop joke), and a lot more.

Thrust! is sold out on Blu-ray at the moment but there will be another round of them made this year, and you can still get a VHS before they are gone!
