A punk podcast where old punks discuss punk and hardcore movies in a very punk way. We ridicule filmmakers for their limited knowledge of punk canon, their corny and sentimental affinity for regional scenes, and their technical ineptitude -- but we also praise the few that "rise above" (wink wink). And we'd love for you to join us, but please consider yourself warned, 'cause we're "bringin' da noise, bringin' da punk!"
Hey there, DTD-ers! We've got a fun one for you this week. And by that we mean our episode, not the movie. The movie is HYPE and it's about grunge. OOF! But don't fret; as you know, from pain comes great art. So here at DTD headquarters we have been working hard on a new play to commemorate and elevate this painful experience. Here's a bit from the third act, for your enjoyment.
Pete: Grunge. Do you know what Grunge is? It's the thousand flannels of Cobain's enemies, a story we agree to tell each other over and over, until we forget that it's a lie.
Geoff: But what do we have left, once we abandon the lie? Chaos? A gaping pit waiting to swallow us all.
Matt: Chaos isn't a pit. It's a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb. They refuse, they cling to the realm or the gods of classic rock or punk. Illusions. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.
Sounds awesome, right? So go ahead and give it a listen NOW!!!

PISTOL, Tracks 5 & 6: The ESSENTIAL Collection
Glad tidings, DTD-heads! It's. Really. Happening. We're wrapping up our PISTOL-watch with a special double-stuffed episode in which we discuss "tracks" 5 and 6. It's very exciting -- so much so that we understand you might have a hard time handling the news. In fact, we heard a rumor that Queen Elizabeth (who's been a fan ever since we started the PISTOL recaps) was so surprised that she literally dropped dead!!! Unfortunately, we have no way to verify the rumor. Nevertheless, it's a fun episode: we play some games, we reminisce on our favorite memories from classic PISTOL episodes, we get a little Q-Anon-y with it, and (spoiler alert) some of us even come all the way around on the show. It's a real late summer/early fall miracle. But we don't want to say which of us comes around. Or why he/they come around. And we definitely don't want to say how the rest of us respond to that "who" and that "why." We want you to experience us for yourself, in all our glorious we-ness. So what are you waiting for?! Pull the trigger (metaphorically speaking, or course) and start listening NOW!

MINUTEMEN: We Jam Econo (The Truffaut Cut)
Quoi de neuf, DTD-ers! This week, we're coming at you paradox style! And that means 1) we feature Tim Irwin's WE JAM ECONO 2) in a conversation that is orchestrated by our own Matt Truffaut. But how can this be? How can we mix the MINUTEMEN'S working class punk jams with Mr. Truffaut's aesthetic elitism? The answer: carefully! The other answer: we see no conflict between the MINUTEMEN'S blue collar body music and Matt's super sophisticated editorial choices. Wait? What? Why? How? Bc we know that class doesn't determine quality, and vice versa. That's why we called this episode a paradox, and not a contradiction. See! You're getting it! Just take baby steps and forgive yourself when you make mistakes. When things get confusing, just remember: listen to this episode. NOW!
