We ride tonight by the guitar bite. And for those about to rock…… we invite you to listen to our new episode! John and Will jam out with Will’s friend Noah Quinn and tackle the early 2000’s masterpiece that is School of Rock. Yes, the gang rips off a nasty face-melter discussing Richard Linklater’s epic cinematic tour-de-force, diving deep on the characters, soundtrack, and eternal lessons that make this movie an instant classic.
A note about the recording: this was recorded before the tragic passing of Kevin Clark, AKA Freddy “Spazzy McGee” Jones earlier this year. We at Into the Fox Hole want to dedicate this podcast to him, as a celebration of his life and absolutely pitch perfect performance.
