What do we say at the beginning of these things again? Oh yeah, WHAT'S UP, Skaters?!
On this episode we discuss the skateboarding film Lords of Dogtown (no Z). Kyle Beachy (book author), Ted Schmitz (show notes author), and Tim Ward (not at all an author, but he's on another podcast, so that counts for something?) look at the the general failing of skate films by taking apart the characters and story presented in this strange studio feature. How it got made, we may never know, but maybe there was a market maybe? If you liked the film, that's fine; it's good to have joy where you can. We, however, did not enjoy it. And you can hear all about it. We don't really do the timecode thing, but maybe it'll help guide you through this one:
00:00:00 - Cold Open (we do these instead of skits because, the skits weren't funny and they took too long)
00:00:30 - Cold open ends and we hear a nice intro song by Roar
00:01:00 - Introducing the podcast cast
00:04:00 - Introducing the film cast. It's not looking good
00:05:00 - Start talking about the movie. Bummer
00:05:30 - Nothing improves, massive problems exposed
00:05:31 — 01:03:00 - The bad things are discussed
01:08:25 - Tim brings up a trick challenge
That's basically it.
