Movie Meltdown - Episode 176
This week, we are coming to you “Live” from Harry Dean Stanton
Fest!! Where we find out why, “It is blood red... like the
city is bleeding!” Plus we talk to singer, songwriter and
actor Donnie Fritts. Who tells us about playing in Kris
Kristofferson’s band and making movies with Sam Peckinpah!! Plus
he’s friends with Harry Dean Stanton, and THAT is the goal to which
we should all aspire.
Plus while we model our awesome new Harry Dean Stanton
Fest t-shirts, we also mention... time-loop movies, Bernie,
Moon, Jake Gyllenhaal, Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia, Pretty
in Pink, Dark Shadows, playing music in Japan, Jack Black being
Jack Black... and not, prank war, The Cockfighters, changes in the
music business, investing way too much time into S. Darko, Straight
Time, Willie Nelson, Source Code, Cisco Pike, Repo Man, The Rolling
Stones, meta cinematic, It was like my 13-year-old girl dream came
true last night!, the Muscle Shoals music scene, and the best way
to indulge your internet greed.
“Out of the blue one day, he said - ‘I want you to be in this
movie...”
