Welcome back to V.I.M.P! This week, Skip called us BRO. No seriously, he said “you look hungry bro.” It was crazy!
Today’s podcast is all about Lords of Dogtown (2005), which was made just a few years after the Dogtown and Z-boys documentary came out. Written by Stacy Peralta himself, it follows the lives of some young skaters in Venice/Santa Monica who rise to the top of the skateboarding scene in the 70s.
Also this week - The Odyssey, conception billboards, and frozen cats? Listen in and find out what THAT’S all about. If you like what you hear, join our patreon using the link below!

Episode 41: It (2017)
We all float down here on V.I.M.P. - and today we’re discussing Darian’s pick for summer month - It (2017). BUT FIRST…Gypsy Rose, the evolution of school bullies, and 80’s movie accuracy? We also dive a bit into the new prequel series, Welcome to Derry. Did it do the movie justice, or was it a cheesy mess? Why is there so much lore?? Then, we get into the nitty gritty of the movie. Did Georgie ask to be eaten by Pennywise? Was Bill in over his head? Was the ending satisfying enough to make this film a VERY important movie? Listen in and find out! Remember - only virgins don’t listen to V.I.M.P.

Episode 40: Do the Right Thing (1989)
This week we’re stepping into the sweltering Brooklyn heat for Spike Lee’s Do the Right Thing (1989). The neighborhood tension is boiling over, Sal’s Pizzeria is a questionable mess but hey, at least the cinematography is flawless! We’re gonna talk some shit in this one...The heavy realities of police violence, capitalism, and everyday micro-aggressions, while still finding time to debate Rosie Perez's iconic opening dance and the exact logistics of Radio Rahim’s boombox. It turns out a decades-old summer day still burns just as bright (and chaotic) today.
Also, look forward to our next Episode where we get into the nitty gritty of a clown named Pennywise.
