At 16, Youtube personality, actor, musician and budding music critic Elliott Fullam has a pretty impressive resume. His youtube channel, "Little Punk People" has over 80K followers. He’s interviewed everyone from ICE-T, James Hetfield (Metallica), Keith Morris (Black Flag/Circle Jerks/Off!), Scott Ian (Anthrax), Tom Araya (Slayer) J. Mascis (Dinosaur, Jr) and Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein (Misfits) just to name a few. But it was Elliott's spot-on homage to Ian Curtis from an old Joy Division "Disorder" live video that really caught my attention. HIs next acting project—a horror film entitled "Terrifier 2" will be coming out this summer as a new animated series where he plays the lead will follow next year. We talked about all of the above as well as what interview subject intimidates him, the silly gore of horror films, live music as a religious experience, the price of fame and much more.

This episode covers everything from post-pandemic live sets, motorcycle crashes, muscle cars, cauliflower ears, reverb obsession and much more.

This week host Scott Crawford spoke with Tesco Vee (a.k.a. Robert Vermeulen)—frontman for the Meatmen and Tesco Vee's Hate Police. Vee's career started in the 1970s in Michigan where he started "Touch and Go" fanzine (which would later become Touch and Go Records) and as leader of the Meatmen. Since their inception in 1981, band's crude humor and stage antics attracted their share of critics, but it was all done in a strictly tongue-in-cheek style. In this interview, Vee discusses everything from toy collecting, Glenn Danzig, CREEM magazine, the early days of hardcore punk, being a self-described liberal, and a special announcement regarding the future of the Meatmen.

On this week's episode, host Scott Crawford spoke with comedian/actor Jason Selvig. He makes up one half of the comedy duo The Good Liars along with Davram Stiefler. The two have starred in their own critically acclaimed political mockumentary "The Undecided" in 2016 and have a new film on the way this Summer entitled "The Supporters." Their guerrilla approach to filmmaking follows in the tradition of Michael Moore and Sacha Baron Cohen—where the results are often as savagely funny as they are completely maddening. Selvig talked about filmmaking, attending the insurrection on January 6, getting arrested for trying to shutdown Santa Con, some of their scariest moments on the campaign trail, his love of post-hardcore bands and plenty more! Intro/Outro music provided by Michael Hampton and Sohrab Habibion.
