What are the Dudes talking about this time?
Oh… The usual. Their favorite movies. Their least favorite movies. Favorite Old TV shows. Online, social media debates and trolling for negative reactions.
The Dudes discuss Hollywood’ Dark Side and what comes with the price of “making it” and how it goes beyond simply “having what it takes” and how to get the push needed to become famous.
They have a further discussion about the decline in the quality of horror movies and what it takes to create a classic movie that fans of the genre will agree on. They reflect on the legacy of John Carpenter and his influence on the genre, particularly through his masterful use of film scores and the importance of soundtracks in enhancing the cinematic experience. They delve into the evolution of horror films, discussing the impact of modern audience expectations on storytelling and suspense.
Giuseppe and Storm delve into the evolving landscape of music sales and streaming, discussing the challenges artists face in the current era and what it was like being in bands, themselves.
As always, the Dudes just have a great time discussing all their favorite - and least favorite- things while tossing in pop culture references and memories of yesteryear in their last recording before summer break.
