Who Let The Docs Out?

Now here's a little story that I've got to tell......................Yep, we are talking about The Beastie Boys in this episode.  Georgia is joined by her son, Hunter as they discuss this amazing documentary directed by Spike Jonze. If you are a true fan of the Beastie Boys, chances are you will learn some things about this iconic hip hop/rap group you didn't know.

After a long hiatus, Georgia is BACK and she is joined by her son, Hunter as they discuss, Heavy Metal Parking Lot.
Heavy Metal Parking Lot is a 1986 documentary short produced by Jeff Kulik and John Heyn. The film features interviews with several small groups of young heavy metal fans gathered for a tailgate in the parking lot outside the Capital Centre in Landover, Maryland on May 31, 1986, as they prepare for a Judas Priest/Dokken concert being held there later that evening.
By the early 1990s, Heavy Metal Parking Lot had become an underground cult-classic, usually traded on bootleg VHS videotapes. It was reportedly a favorite on the Nirvana tour bus, among many other bands. Due to growing popularity of the film, music copyright issues arose between the producers and Judas Priest, though they were eventually resolved. The film has been referred to as the "Citizen Kane" of Wasted Teenage Metal.

Georgia is joined by Pixie OKneel, a Dallas burlesque entertainer and friend, to discuss "Tabloid". This is a bizarre tale of beauty queens, abduction, bondage, religion, and love.

One of America's top documentary filmmakers, Errol Morris, turns his attention to the outrageous and nearly unbelievable story of Joyce McKinney. She's a former Miss Wyoming beauty queen who gained a great deal of notoriety after being accused of kidnapping a young Mormon missionary, restraining him in chains and raping him in England in 1977. The unbalanced McKinney is interviewed extensively, particularly about her ambition to write a memoir telling her side of the tale.

A documentary about the killing spree of Brenda Spencer, the 16-year-old schoolgirl who opened fire on a school playground in January 1979, killing two men and injuring eight children. Her only explanation of her actions was "I don't like Mondays". This incident was the first ever school shooting of its kind, and inspired the Boomtown Rats' number one hit song "I Don't Like Mondays".

Listen in as Georgia and her guest, friend, Sandi, discuss Tina Turner’s early fame, the private and public personal and professional struggles, and her return to the world stage as a global phenomenon in the 1980s. This documentary was sooo inspirational. It had me standing and cheering!!!

The Woman Who Wasn't There is a psychological thriller that goes inside the mind of history's most infamous 9/11 survivor.

Georgia and her guest, her son, Hunter, discuss, "Hands on a Hardbody". This is one of Georgia's favorite docs and Quentin Tarrantino refers to it as, "His go to documentary".  It has everything from catching the holy spirit, to cheating scandals, to 22 ton AC units, to musical adaptations!!!
