Movie Night With Bands

Pack your bags as we head to Canada to talk with vocalist Chris Hardy and bassist Colton Frausell of Nova Scotia based pop punk outfit All Honesty. An awesome band that I found on spotify, reached out to, and now have the privilege of having on the show to talk their favorite movie. Chris and Colton chose 1998 classic American History X. A polarizing movie that tackles racism through the eyes of a...

For the first time ever we’re seeing things I 2 I and talking about a Disney movie. Not just any Disney movie, but Rikk r Treat of the The Writhers favorite one, A Goofy Movie. The 1995 animated cult classic that has stood the test of time and gave us such memories as the perfect cast and Powerline singing nothing but heaters. Check out the episode to learn some more about the movie and how it has...

As far as I know, I sat down and talked with Cam Martin, drummer of Virginia Beach based hardcore band Victim of Suffering, and not a shapeshifting alien from Antartica. That would be rather interesting and ironic though being that Cam's favorite movie is The Thing. John Carpenter's 1982 classic laid a roadmap for one of the best horror stories ever told. Starring Kurt Russell, Wilford Bri...

fortunately at this point I haven't received any letters telling me that someone has erased me or the show from their mind, because if they did that would mean they aren't here now to learn about my friend Dan Sheehan and his favorite movie, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Who would have thought a 2004 Micheal Gondry directed indie movie featuring Jim Carey and Kate Winslet doing th...

We're on a mission from God! That mission is to teach the world about my friend James Cross of Vermont based emo band NRVS. James and I had one of the most interesting conversations about music, the industry, and of course his favorite movie. The 1980 John Landis music comedy, The Blues Brothers. Starring John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd as the eponymous Blues Brothers, The Blues Brothers follows...

"Momma always said life was like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get." Today we get another fun episode of Movie Night With Bands featuring my good friend Shane Emery of Connecticut based pop punk outfit Say What You Will and I talking about his favorite movie, Forrest Gump. Another Robert Zemeicks classic starring Tom Hanks as the titular Forrest Gump, a man wi...

Back in the saddle this week with Mike McInnes who is the guitarist of Pittsburgh based pop punk band Old Neon. Mike reached out to me a few weeks back about coming onto the show and I'm excited to finally have him on to talk about his favorite movie, The Rocketeer. This 1991 Disney/Touchstone produced super hero movie directed by Joe Johnston (Jumanji, Captain America: the first Avenger) tell...

I think it is only fitting that I talk with my best friend who I'm in a band with about movie about best friends in a band. Today's guest is Avery Avello, lead guitarist of What Makes Sense on another episode of Movie Night With Bands that we recorded in person with the help of WMS rhythm guitarist Eddie Petershagen who may or may not cameo in the episode. Bill & Ted is a 1989 comedy c...

Oh Hi Mark, did you know that the day has finally come where we talk The Room? Yes, today is indeed the day and that we talk the 2003 Auteur driven, written, produced, directed, and starring vehicle of the elusive D.B. Cooper, a.k.a Tommy Wiseau. Whether a money laundering scheme or a true stroke of genius over the head of the masses, I couldn't be happier to have had this conversation with Ma...

Although it doesn't quite seem like it while you're watching it, this weeks movie is the newest movie we have talked about on the podcast. Damien Chazelle's (Whiplash/First Man/Babylon) 2016 six time oscar winning (including best director for Chazelle) La La Land says I love you to golden age Hollywood and classic cinema in a way that so many have only tried to do. Starring Ryan Goslin...

Great Scott we've done it! 10 episodes in! What better movie to do for episode 10 than Robert Zemeckis' (Romancing the Stone/Contact) 1985 classic, Back to the Future. Starring Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, and Crispin Glover, Back to the Future is one of the most iconic, memorable, and quotable movies there is, truly one of the greatest movies in modern pop culture. In...

Kevin Smith is one of the most influential nerds in a hockey jersey and we love him for every minute of it. From making some of the most memorable movies, hosting comic book men, voicing many of your favorite comic heroes at one point or another, and running the Jay and Silent Bob get old podcast with long time collaborator Jason Mewes, there really isn't much to not love about Kevin Smith. To...

This weeks episode takes a magical trip to Albany (cue drum roll) where Radam talks Christopher's Nolan 2006 period piece The Prestige with Saxophone player Pat Foxton of the Albany based self proclaimed Brass Emo band, Millington. Featuring the star studded ensemble cast of Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, Michael Caine, Scarlett Johannson, Andy Serkis, and David Bowie, The Prestige raises the q...

Three bands, one man, and a great conversation about a true classic, what more could you ask for? Today's guest is my good friend Mike Held of Jealous Mind, a Connecticut based hardcore band, Ghost Chant, a New York based melodic hardcore band, and Was and When, his own indie project. Mike is a man of many hats in the music world, much like the star of today's movie, School of Rock. A 2003...

For episode 6 we shook things up a bit and my wonderfully amazing friend Tony and I got together in the same room and recorded this weeks podcast! Although not the first time we've been in the same room recording things together, a very different and much more chill vibe this time around. Tony has been working with What Makes Sense and I to write and record some new music that we will be graci...

"I can't stand you doing that thing you do..." Is one infectious hook that will be stuck in your head for days to come, kind of like any song you hear from today's guest With the Punches drummer Shane Maziekien. I have been a huge fan of With the Punches for years, they have been an inspiration to me as a musician and still serve as an inspiration to this day. From playing some s...

Episode four features our first guest who isn't front and center! Our first none lead vocalist guest is Poeta bassist Zach Kehley.

Today Zach and I sit down to chat about his favorite movie Almost Famous, another first for the podcast as this is the first music themed movie I've talk...

Bueller...Bueller...Bueller? Another week, another classic, this time with Henry Menzel of Keep Flying. 10 years now I've known and played music with Henry and we finally got a chance to talk about it and one of the most quotable movies of all time. Released in 1986 by the iconic John Hughes and starring Matthew Broderick, Mia Sara, and Alan Ruck, Ferris Bueller's Day Off is a fun, timeles...

For our second episode, Radam links up with Westly "Wes" Benjunas, frontman of Connecticut based emo band, Sunday Morning. For Wes's favorite movie we talk about the 1933 version of The Invisible Man. Based on the H.G. Wells novel of the same name, The Invisible Man stars Claude Raine as the eponymous invisible man at a time where CGI and visual effects did not exist. Give the episode a listen to...
