180° South, with Issac Brock, James Mercer & more!

First of all, Ugly Casanova's 2002 album Sharpen Your Teeth is one of my favorite albums of all time and now we're getting some more! The documentary "180 South: Conquerors of the Useless" will be released on DVD, June 8th. According to a press release, 180 South "retraces Yvon Chouinard's and Doug Tompkins' epic 1968 journey to Patagonia through the eyes of adventurer Jeff Johnson." The soundtrack features Issac Brock/Ugly Casanova, James Mercer of The Shins, Mason Jennings, and Love As Laughter, and will be released on June 22 on Brushfire Records. It looks like there are 9 Ugly Casanova songs, one of which is "Hotcha Girls" from Sharpen Your Teeth, the other 8 are all new! There are 2 songs from James Mercer including a cover of Neil Young's "Journey Through the Past", and then 1 from Mason Jennings, Love As Laughter, and Jack Johnson respectively. As far as I know, there is no word on whether it will be Ugly Casanova in true form, or if it will just be Brock. Here's to hoping John Orth and Tim Rutili make appearances! Emmet Malloy, director of White Stripes' Under Great White Northern Lights, produced the film and put together the soundtrack. Exciting stuff kids! Here is a trailer for the film and a track list below...

I Love Movies! Feb. 5th, 2010

Here is the newest episode of Doug Benson's I Love Movies. It features comedian Graham Elwood (The High Road with Doug Benson) and actor Samm Levine (Freaks & Geeks, Inglorious Bastards), plus a special surprise guest that I'm totally going to ruin for you right now... Leonard Maltin! If you've ever listened to this before then you know about the Leonard Maltin game, which is basically a film version of Name That Tune. Awesome. Enjoy!

I Love Movies!

Hey everybody! The "I Love Movies" podcast is one of the best things that has happened to me in a long time. It's taped in front of a live audience at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in LA and hosted by Doug Benson, comedian and ummm... "herbalist" behind Super High Me. He always has at least two guests on the show with him each time. Some of the best so far have been Aziz Ansari, Thomas Lennon & Ben Garant, Patton Oswalt, David Cross, Bob Odenkirk, Matt Besser, Matt Walsh, Jon Hamm, and the list goes on. I don't think I realized how clever Benson is until listening to these podcasts. I really only knew him from Comedy Central specials (which suck because the comedians have to really hold back for the censors), and Super High Me, which I did enjoy. But, it is all about movies, so don't think you won't enjoy it if you aren't into pot or pot related humor. Now, in my experience, it's really hard to recommend podcasts to people because they have to find it and download it and so on and they just won't do it. So, I thought if I put the links right here maybe someone will actually check it out because if you like movies and/or things that are funny, this IS something you've been missing. There are usually two a month and sometimes more. You can find it on itunes or the link below, and if you like it also try "Never Not Funny", "Comedy Death-Ray" and "Comedy and Everything Else". So check it out and as always, Willem Dafoe is a shit head (you'll get this joke later).
