1:08:52

Wooo! I'm really tired of every year seeing my girls in the villa get washed by these boys during the 'Casa Amor' segment of Love Island. That's right, I'm here talking the last week of LI USA and boy is there a lot to cover. Some things I touch on: Kendall being a snake, Leah still winning me over, we ride at dawn for Jana, Aaron and Rob literally…

185: You really think you can fly that thing? | Independence Day (1996) w/ Dustin of The Rewatch Recap 1:25:53

6d ago1:25:53

1:25:53

It's July 4th and it's beyond me that we haven't covered the 90s patriotic classic, Independence Day until now. Never fear, I'm here with Dustin from @therewatchrecap to get into it. This movie meant so much to us growing up and we talk about our long history with it, the sequel that I regrettably saw in theaters, how this casting is perfect (ahem …

UAWIL #188: Metallica - Ride The LIghtning 1:15:48

6d ago1:15:48

1:15:48

In the summer of 1984, Metallica were not yet the Metal Gods and household names they are now. They were a band with one record under their belt (Kill Em All, hear UAWIL #138 for our review with The Hook Rocks Jay Scott), some experience playing bigger stages as an opening act and a small but loyal following. However, their US record company didn't…

Transmission Notes Pop Edition: being a 'brat', Chappell Roan, music producers, RIP MTV News 46:32

7d ago46:32

46:32

Basically this episode was a reason for me to listen to the 'brat' album and talk to Jules about my hot takes on Chappell Roan and the current pop scene. I always float in and out of current music offerings. On this episode we get into our favorite tracks of the moment, the Taylor Swift of it all and her shadow over pop, being confused about Sabrin…

Villa Download: Love Island USA Season 6 Eps 15-16 59:10

11d ago59:10

59:10

As you have learned from my last interview episode, I'm a big Love Island fan. Even if only a small group of people listen, it will all be worth it for me to get my thoughts out on this show I've been watching for the past 5 years. This is the first of my recaps of this current season (6) of the USA version of this night soap/ dating show. At the s…

UAWIL #187: AC/DC - Highway To Hell 1:18:02

13d ago1:18:02

1:18:02

Though AC/DC are one of the most revered and successful bands in the history of rock n roll, in 1979 they hadn't cracked the Top 100 in the US. The killer riffs laid down by Malcolm Young had gained them a strong following in Europe and their native Australia but they had yet to breach the great big U-S-of-A. So in 1979 they brought in a new produc…

17d ago1:02:17

1:02:17

It's time to dust off the gritty 90s VHS archives for an honest and gut wrenching film about growing up in NYC, discovering your queer identity, and the complexities of female relationships. Jules is along for this episode where we talk 'All Over Me' from 1997. I first rented this in high school and it has been on my list to watch again. This film …

UAWIL #186: The Rolling Stones - Voodoo Lounge 1:13:32

1:13:32

The Wolf & Action Jackson are HUGE Rolling Stones fans and count seeing the Steel Wheels Tour live in their respective cities as an important moment in their lives. Though the Stones never said it, many figured the Steel Wheels Tour would be the last chance for many people to ever see the Stones play. And because Bill Wyman retired after that tour,…

🏝️ I'VE GOT A TEXT! Yes, yes I know it's time to admit that I'm fully into Love Island. I know it's not the typical stuff I cover here on the podcast, but it's a huge part of my brain. So, for this very thing I had to get in contact with Kendrick Tucker of I Ken Not Podcast to talk about it. Being a fan from afar I already knew that we would be abl…

Keyboard virtuoso Oliver Wakeman visited us on UAWIL #156 to talk about the John Wetton (Asia, King Crimson, UK) box set as it was being released. We had a wonderful time chatting with Oliver as we are big fans of John Wetton and John had been a mentor and friend to Oliver as they toured together in the early 2000s. We had so much fun that we asked…

1:00:02

I live for an opportunity to talk about fashion and connect with new people. I've followed Hunter @highendhomo on Twitter and been obsessed with his takes on pop culture and fashion so I knew that it would be great to see things from his perspective. Getting another view from someone who is a bit more plugged in than I am makes for such a great bac…

UAWIL #184: Stone Temple Pilots - Purple 1:07:53

1M ago1:07:53

1:07:53

Stone Temple Pilots helped define the grunge-ridden days of the 1990s with their big downtuned riffs and lyrics soaked in heroin resin. Riding the wave from Seattle, their debut album Core sold over 8 million copies in the US alone. The record company couldn't wait to get more STP out into the market so in November 1993 they released the live Unplu…

UAWIL #183: Mammoth with Wolfgang Van Halen Live Review 54:05

54:05

As huge Van Halen fans growing up, The Wolf & Action Jackson always took a keen interest in the career of Wolfgang Van Halen and his band Mammoth. Though The Wolf had seen Wolfgang on tour with Van Halen on bass near the end of their run, he'd missed opportunities to see Mammoth in the past. However, he remedied when they hit Louisville on the last…

182: You can't rub Ben-Gay on a heartache. | Calendar Girl (1993) 1:05:48

2M ago1:05:48

1:05:48

Since Charles has been waiting 30 years to see this film I had fairly reasonable expectations. Thankfully this film you can find on YouTube, but that's about the only place you'll see it. You would think in 1993 a film starring Jason Priestley of 90210 fame involving a road trip to Hollywood would be a smash. Welp, that didn't happen. Most of the t…

1:08:26

Another guest in the house for a trip back to the 90s with our patron saint of the 'TV Movie' , Tori Spelling in Death of a Cheerleader (1994). This was a more complicated story than we originally thought. We didn't end up loving the movie version and how they essentially manipulated us in the end, but the acting performances were pretty stellar. T…

Listeners of our show know that The Wolf loves Ronnie James Dio and his epic voice.

Coming off the success of his 1999 album, Prince took everything to another level with 1984's Purple Rain. The album featured 5 singles that would get major airplay on different radio formats (pop, rock, r&b, dance) and MTV. The album would sell over 25 million copies worldwide but it was also the soundtrack to the movie of the same name which gros…

1:40:58

It's rare that an actor inhabits a role so much that even the people closest to the real Jim Morrison were confused on whether or not it was really him. In the 1991 film by Oliver Stone Val Kilmer became the legendary lead singer of The Doors. I was ultra stoked to talk about this film because I have a real life super fan of The Doors along for the…

UAWIL #179: Bruce Springsteen - Born in the USA 1:27:21

2M ago1:27:21

1:27:21

By 1984, Bruce Springsteen had long been hailed by rock critics as the next great American bard for the working man. His ability to mix heavy lyrics about the struggles of everyday life with catchy pop/rock rhythms had elevated him to rock royalty status before he ever made his 7th album. Released June 4, 1984 as a follow up to the melancholy and p…
