453 - Gobbledyween: The Fly (feat. Kenn Edwards)

<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Have you ever heard of insect podcasts? Neither have we. Paul and Arlo continue</span> <strong>Gobbledyween</strong> <span style="font-weight: 400;">2021 with a deep penetrating dive into the plasma pool, as Alex Jonestown Massacre guitarist Kenn Edwards teleports on over to discuss David Cronenberg’s 1986 classic</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">The Fly</span></em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">. The gang places the film in the context of the AIDS epidemic, marvels at just how charming it is, raves about Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis’ chemistry, and declares makeup effects artist Chris Walas to be one of the unsung heroes of ‘80s cinema. Plus, Kenn gives us a breakdown of the 20 (!) live events he’s been to post-vaccine.</span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">NEXT: all things must come to an end, and so</span> <strong>Gobbledyween</strong> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">returns to the grave after one final performance.</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Mimesis</span></em> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">author Eric Sipple helps us lift the coffin lid on Luca Bercovici’s 1990 masterpiece</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Rockula</span></em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">.</span></span></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><span style= "font-size: 10pt;"><strong>BREAKDOWN</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 10pt;">00:00:20  -  Intro / Guest</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">00:05:42  - </span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">The Fly</span></em></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 10pt;">00:11:18  -  Oh wait, it’s Ted Lasso tangents and concert reviews…</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">00:47:35  -  Okay, back to</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Fly</span></em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">, for real this time</sp
