This Is Rad!

Hey everybody, this week's episode is a doozy! Kyle and Matthew welcome director of photography and adventure punk Jan Michael Losada for a conversation about One Wheels, a crazy ass contraption that you've likely never heard of and Jan has ridden for thousands of miles. Plus, there are some solid tangents about cinematography, VR, and a whole litany of other stuff. Buuuuuuuuuuuuuut... before that high quality episode we had some issues. Ol' producer Kyle had a bit of a goof setting up the recorder and as a result the guest mic was not active for: The Intro! The Ad for Mack Weldon! (go to www.mackweldon.comand use the promo code RAD to get 20% off your first order!) And last but not least, the first 45 minutes of an episode! We started over and still gave you an hour and forty five minute episode where we fixed stuff. For those who are completest, we'll put the lost episode audio at the end (after the closing music) cause there is some fun stuff if you can get past the wonky audio. We include all of it to show, hey, everybody makes mistakes. So kick back, relax, and enjoy!

 

Weekly Rads:

Laura - Good Omens (which she is pretty sure she hasn't said before...) (show)

 

Kyle – Mr. Iglesias (show)

 

Matthew – the ill informed Christian boycott of Good Omens where they didn't know which streaming service it was on and mistakenly said “Don't watch it on Netflix” which is funny because it's on Amazon Prime. (thing that happened)

This week on the show, Kyle and Matthew (along with special guest co-host Gabriella Contreras) are joined by Rick West, the creative director for Midsummer Scream, a fantastic halloween and horror convention August 3-4 in Long Beach, CA. Kyle and Gabriella both adore the con and after Gabriella met Rick at a spooky bar, she connected Kyle so that they could make this episode happen. Guys, turns out Rick, Kyle, and Gabriella can talk about haunts and theme parks... a lot. Rick also created Theme Park Adventure, a newsletter turned website that ran from 1994 to 2018 and was one of the earliest youtube channels to post haunt walkthrough videos. For real guys, this is a fun episode. If you want to hear Kyle gasp and squeal and truly nerdgasm, you have found your episode. It's a little Radtober in the summer time. Something a little different but a lot of fun!

 

Weekly Rads:

Kyle – The Dead Don't Die (movie) and Climax (movie)

This week on the show Kyle and Burnside are joined by long time friend of the show John Ungaro. It's been forever since John has been on the show and we have plenty to talk about. He got there early and so we had him sit in on the intro so this episode just goes straight through. We talk about the films of indie film icon Jim Jarmusch. Kyle and John both cite Jarmusch as a big influence on their creative work and their teenage interest in independent cinema. They explore the themes and motifs that run through his movies. They also talk about how New York City looks on film. They also get real rambley for a while. If you enjoy tangent episodes, we've got plenty for you this ep. They also speculate about his latest film The Dead Don't Die and how wild it is that thirty years into a career, Jarmusch is making a commercially released zombie movie. I don't think any of us saw that coming. Enjoy!

 

Weekly Rads:

 

Kyle – The Violet Wanderers (podcast) and Protoplanets (band)

 

John – The Maniac Cop Trilogy (movies) and Phantasm (movie) and Swamp Thing (show)

 

Burnside – Keanu Reeves in general, also E3 or whatever, also Documentary Now Season 3

This week on the show Kyle and Matt are joined by the always delightful Ron Swallow to chat about the long running book series The Dresden Files. Fun fact: Kyle and Matt were both unaware this episode was going to be about books. But after some helpful explanation from Ron they get sucked into the description of this long running dark fantasy series. Ron has had a life long love affair with fantasy fiction and Kyle uses this episode as an opportunity to better understand a genre he is woefully under read on. They get into what it takes to make a good ongoing series. Plus, a lot of talk about vampires, and that's always a good time. So whether your a long running fan of the series or if you also had no idea what constitutes a Dresden File, there's something fun for everyone.
