Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Season 25- Episode 1: STEPPENWOLF ( feat. Mike White )
Q: What drew you to Steppenwolf, and how did you approach watching and analyzing a film that's challenging and divisive?
White discusses his initial unfamiliarity with the film, the appeal of its Western-inflected sensibilities, and the value of engaging with a director's revisionist vision, especially when violence and moral ambiguity are central to the storytelling.
Interview with Sam Rosenthal ( Black Tape For A Blue Girl & Projekt Records )
Q: How did you approach assembling vocalists for Black Tape albums?
Sam explains a largely non‑collaborative process where melodies and lyrics were conceived by him, then sent to vocalists like Oscar or others who translated or expanded on them, often without in‑person rehearsal, to create a distinctive, collaborative sound.
Interview with Sam Rosenthal ( Black Tape For A Blue Girl & Projekt Records )
Q: When was the first Black Tape performance and what did that look like?
The first live performance occurred in 1996 at the Vic Theater in Chicago, a two‑night event with around 900–1,100 attendees, organized to present a controlled, collaborative set rather than traditional band dynamics.
Interview with Sam Rosenthal ( Black Tape For A Blue Girl & Projekt Records )
Q: What is a day in the life of a record label like?
A typical day involves reviewing new demos, proofing and uploading releases to Bandcamp and distributors, managing promo with a dedicated team, and coordinating with artists to prepare campaigns and materials.
DAGON ( Feat. Zak Koonce )
Q: Do you think the creature design could have looked different with a bigger budget or different approach?
They discuss how, with more budget, the Dagon creature and the town's residents might have used more advanced practical effects rather than CG, potentially heightening the film's visceral impact.
