The Show Must Go On: The Femaliens & Why All-Ages Spaces Matter | We Came From Celluloid 028-G
This week we fit an entire band on one screen. The Femaliens, out of Pittsburgh, join Brian and me on their Tuesday practice night: Emily "Chaos" on vocals, Chandrika on bass, Jules on drums, and Eve on guitar. Turns out their band exists for the same reason Brian and I do: somebody refused to cancel a show. They put together their first set in two months for a female feature fest in Erie, and they've been going ever since. We get into writing songs in the room, a Chupacabra anthem born from a hungover cabin retreat, why there's no such thing as too silly in an alien-themed punk band, and Eve's side gig playing power violence under an actual bridge. Plus a crash course on Pittsburgh's crowded DIY scene, why all-ages spaces matter, and the reason their first original song is called Uranus.

When Marketing Doesn't Know What It's Got: Failing to Connect to Audiences | We Came From Celluloid 028
Brian Pritchard and I start with Doug Liman's Go and the '90s wave of too-cool-for-the-room crime movies, and end up somewhere I didn't see coming: who gets pulled up in Hollywood, and why. Brian tells a story from a Heath Ledger documentary about Ledger's LA house becoming home base for Cate Blanchett, Guy Pearce, and Naomi Watts. Jonah Hill landed Accepted because he was Justin Long's roommate. Robert Pattinson told Cronenberg to put him in anything. Nepotism, or just trusting the people you know? We argue about it. Plus my early horror binge, including the gloriously baffling She Loved Blossoms More and Nicolas Cage not saying one single word in Willy's Wonderland. There's also Mandy, Tom Waits as the devil, why Brian is done giving Baron Munchausen the benefit of the doubt, Cronenberg's bleak streak, and Viggo Mortensen aging out of the pretty-guy roles.

Where's Your Energy Going? Jeremy Jones on AI Show Posters and Bands That Phone It In | We Came From Celluloid 027-G
This week Brian and I sit down with Jeremy, the guy who books the bands, runs the sound, and secretly runs the social media at Maple Grove Tavern. We talk about what it's like being the most second-guessed man in any bar, including the guy who wanted the PA pointed at his barstool, and the one question every band should ask themselves: where's your energy going? Jeremy has a warning for bands using AI on their show posters. I've got a punk-rock rant about cutting up magazines. We also get into Final Fantasy VII, Fallout, BioShock Infinite, Bandersnatch, and why Stubbs the Zombie had one of the best soundtracks ever. Plus the studio Jeremy's building near Cleveland's steel yard, and the domain name we tried to hand him on air. It opens with Paul Rudd saving my morning.
