Docs Till DeathHYPE!: Grunge Is Just a Label, But We Use ItHey there, DTD-ers! We've got a fun one for you this week. And by that we mean our episode, not the movie. The movie is HYPE and it's about grunge. OOF! But don't fret; as you know, from pain comes great art. So here at DTD headquarters we have been working hard on a new play to commemorate and elevate this painful experience. Here's a bit from the third act, for your enjoyment.
Pete: Grunge. Do you know what Grunge is? It's the thousand flannels of Cobain's enemies, a story we agree to tell each other over and over...2022-09-191h 28Docs Till DeathPISTOL, Tracks 5 & 6: The ESSENTIAL CollectionGlad tidings, DTD-heads! It's. Really. Happening. We're wrapping up our PISTOL-watch with a special double-stuffed episode in which we discuss "tracks" 5 and 6. It's very exciting -- so much so that we understand you might have a hard time handling the news. In fact, we heard a rumor that Queen Elizabeth (who's been a fan ever since we started the PISTOL recaps) was so surprised that she literally dropped dead!!! Unfortunately, we have no way to verify the rumor. Nevertheless, it's a fun episode: we play some games, we reminisce on our favorite memories from classic PISTOL episodes, we get a little...2022-09-122h 01Docs Till DeathMINUTEMEN: We Jam Econo (The Truffaut Cut)Quoi de neuf, DTD-ers! This week, we're coming at you paradox style! And that means 1) we feature Tim Irwin's WE JAM ECONO 2) in a conversation that is orchestrated by our own Matt Truffaut. But how can this be? How can we mix the MINUTEMEN'S working class punk jams with Mr. Truffaut's aesthetic elitism? The answer: carefully! The other answer: we see no conflict between the MINUTEMEN'S blue collar body music and Matt's super sophisticated editorial choices. Wait? What? Why? How? Bc we know that class doesn't determine quality, and vice versa. That's why we called this episode a paradox, and not a c...2022-09-051h 24Docs Till DeathPISTOL, Track 4: The Beginning of the EndHey there, DTD-ers! As you're probably already aware, this is a PISTOL week. There's nothing else we can really say about that. These are the circumstances that we all -- you, the listener, and us, the hosts -- find ourselves in. And remember, this is our collective choice, which means that the effort to get through the entire PISTOL series remains, if nothing else, a testament to our shared strength and commitment. We praise you for that, dear listeners, although we, here at DTD home base, have to admit that our resolve is weakening, and we might be cracking up. L...2022-08-2952 minDocs Till DeathWHAT AWAITS US: A BEYOND STORY (AKA, "They did it once, they're dewing it again")How goes there, DTD-ers? This is a good week. For one, we are NOT discussing an episode of Pistol. Second, and more importantly, we have the opportunity to discuss Kevin Egan's WHAT AWAITS US: A BEYIND STORY, which is - pleasant surprise - NOT about the vegetarian meat substitute, and is instead about his legendary hardcore band, BEYOND. The film is more than that, too, although we're not gonna tell you what that "more" is; the only way you're gonna find out is to listen to the episode (and, of course, watch Egan's film). And while we're on the topic...2022-08-221h 26Docs Till DeathPISTOL, Track 3: How the Miniseries KillsHey there DTD-heads. If you can hear this, there may still be time. Please help us. We've fallen into a Pistol pit, and we can't get out. At first, we thought someone might come and find us, and help us out. But it's been three episodes now, and we're starting to feel like this is our fate. The nights are so cold! The story is so uninteresting! There doesn't even seem to be any point to it all! H! E! L! P! All that said, Matt does seem to be coming around on the series, so the candle of hope stil...2022-08-1557 minDocs Till DeathBAD BRAINS: A BAND IN DC [that’s the full name of the movie, which is a better pun than what we could come up with, so we’re just gonna go with that (ALL OF THE ABOVE IS THE FULL NAME OF THE EPISODE)]Welcome back DTDers! This week, we’ve got some bad news/good news for you. The bad news first: we’re not giving you another PISTOL recap… yet. The good news: we’re discussing the only thing that might be more punk than PISTOL — that’s right, it’s BAND IN DC, the Bad Brains documentary. We know we say this often, but this doc is a really good one. Maybe one of the best. But then why doesn't pitchfork, entertainment weekly, or the nytimes have it in their top 10 punk docs lists? Good question. It’s an issue we address in the ep, alo...2022-08-081h 17Docs Till DeathPISTOL, "Track 2": PMA for the PRFFair warning, DTD-ers: "lasciate ogne speranza voi ch'intrate." And you know what that means; we're picking up where we left off with the Danny Boyle directed Sex Pistols mini-series, PISTOL. This week, we discuss "track" 2, and (SPOILER ALERT) we don't think it's very good -- although Matt might be coming around on the show. In any event, just because the show doesn't rock, doesn't mean we can't! In other words, this episode of DTD shreds! We brutaly riff on not just PISTOL, but also on pop punk cover bands, our favorite new game show ("Is it Punk?"), pop punk cover...2022-08-011h 05Docs Till DeathDescendents/All Part Deux: JUSTIN WILSON InterviewHey there, DTD-ers! We've got a news flash for you, apparently: DTD now stands or Descendants Till Death, apparently. "Why is that?", you ask. Well, we'll tell you why -- because for this episode, we have the pleasure of talking to Justin Wilson, who is part of the braintrust behind the Descendants/All documentary FILMAGE, which we discussed last week. But Justin doesn't just talk about the movie; we also talk about what it takes to get a punk doc off the ground, Justin's other punk projects (including A Fat Wreck), and -- of course -- pizza delivery punk! It's a goo...2022-07-251h 28Docs Till DeathFILMAGE (Descendents/All): A Podcasttium EpisodateWelcome home, DTD-ers! This week we're back with a movie that might best be described as a comfort watch: Matt Riggle and Deedle LaCour's FILMAGE: THE STORY OF THE DESCENDENTS/ALL. It's a good one... although we came to that realization only after collectively overcoming the disappointment of this not being a movie about the children of famous Disney villains. So if you want to hear a moving story of our growth and acceptance of this Descendents movie for what it is, give the episode a listen NOW! And even if you don't want your heartstrings pulled, give the epis...2022-07-181h 23Docs Till DeathPISTOL (episode/"track" 1): Have we been cheated? Will we be cheateds?Gu-day DTDers! We're so glad you're here, because THIS is THE one that all you true punks out there have been waiting for! That's right, this week, we discuss the pluralization of proper nouns!!! We know, it's heady stuff; but all of us at DTD headquarters felt it was a conversation that needed to happen, and we're proud of the result. Through open dialogue, we tore down walls and build bonds of friendship. And, oh yeah, we also talk about the first episode of the Danny Boyle directed miniseries "PISTOL," an adaptation of Steven Jones' memoir about his time with...2022-07-111h 09
Docs Till DeathRAMONES: The Decline & Fall of the Ramones-an Empire(Gabba Gabba) Hey there DTD-heads! We know you love punk, and we also know that you're kinda into being sad, so this week, we've got a real big treat for you!! That's right, you guessed it; we're discussing Michael Gramaglia and Jim Fields' End of the Century: The Story of the Ramones -- a thoroughly depressing (and inspiring?) look at what you can achieve if you fully commit to emotional avoidance. Yeah, the movie's pretty heavy; but as usual, we're a laugh riot. So 1) shut off that ironic pro-America playlist you've been working on for the 4th of July party...2022-07-041h 45Docs Till DeathThe Second Annual GrohliesWHAT'S! UP! DOC! HEADS!?! We're so happy to be back, bringing you our trademark mixture of encyclopedic punk knowledge and high-minded film criticism. But you're gonna have to wait until next week for all that, because this week, it's our end of season 2 recap. Or is it our beginning of season 3 promo? Whatever the case may be, you know what we're talking about: it's the Grohlies, baby!!!! That's right, all the notable players in punk and hardcore filmmaking have come out for one special episode to celebrate last season's finest achievements. And unlike the Oscars, which are weighed down by Hollyw...2022-06-271h 00Docs Till DeathSUBURBIA: Who Let the Dogs Out?Thank you for making the trip to visit us, DTD-ers! And as you might have guessed, since we've all gathered here on the lanai, this week we've taken a trip to SUBURBIA, Penelope Spheeris' first narrative feature, and her second film overall (following her seminal DECLINE OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION). What is there to say about this movie that hasn't already been written by underpaid and overworked Ivy and near-Ivy grads who work at Vice and similar publications? Not much. But we've gone ahead and said it all again, and better. And with more allusions to Wesley Snipes. So we've at lea...2022-02-211h 32Docs Till DeathTHE ART OF PUNK: CRASS (you owe us a listen)Hey there, DTD-heads! This week we discuss the CRASS episode of Bryan Ray Turcotte and Bo Bushnell's excellent THE ART OF PUNK web series. And we do, indeed, discuss CRASS; maybe not as much as we discuss the RHCP (spoiler alert), but we certainly mention CRASS long enough for Matt to repeatedly mispronounce the name of one of the band members. Unbelievable. Unforgivable. Unacceptable. So he's out. We punk-cancelled him. Nevertheless, we wish him all the best in his future endeavors, which his publicist has just informed us is a new podcast, called "Reject of Society," co-hosted by Matt and Joe...2022-02-141h 10Docs Till DeathA BAND CALLED DEATH: An episode called "Death," which is about a documentary (about band called "Death") called "A BAND CALLED DEATH"Welcome home, DTD-ers! This week, we are discussing Mark Christopher Covino and Jeff Howlett's 2012 classic, A BAND CALLED DEATH. And before we say anything about the film, the DTD crew needs to address an apparent misunderstanding. In the two weeks since we announced that we'd be watching the "Death movie," we've received over 50,000 concerned texts/calls/messages from listeners, like yourself, most of whom assumed that this was to be our last episode. From what we can gather, it seems that many of you read a little too much into our name; the "Death" in our name does not now...2022-02-071h 27Docs Till DeathDTD Presents: THE FAUXBOYSWhat's up, true believers!? This week the DTD crew is back with something very special. Is it a minisode in which we pay homage to the Doughboys podcast by discussing KFC's new Beyond Chicken "nuggets"? Or, is it a spin-off show that amounts to another step forward in our play for global podcast dominance? You decide. Aaaaanywaaaay... this is a real good one! Better than the KFC Beyond Chicken? Again, you decide. Should you stop whatever you're currently doing and listen to the episode NOW so that you can decide for yourself? Well, in regards to that last question, WE decide...2022-01-311h 02Docs Till DeathMETALLICA: SOME KIND OF MONSTERS (AKA, THE UNFORGIVEN, PART 3)Greetings DTD-ers! You ARE in the right place! Please don't let the subject of today's episode confuse you. This is still Docs Till Death, and it's still THE premiere punk podcast; however, with this episode, we've decided to spread our wings (in a no-growth, immature kind of way) and pay a visit to metal, punk's cousin on its father's side. That's right! We're discussing SOME KIND OF MONSTER, Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky's 2004 Metallica documentary. And to commemorate this groundbreaking DTD episode, we're sharing a little poem we wrote about the experience of listening to this very special "crossover" episode:
Listen and...2022-01-241h 42Docs Till DeathTHE ART Of PUNK: DEAD KENNEDYS (What, me worry?)Happy MLK Day, DTD-ers! Since many of you have the day off of work and nothing to do, we decided that we'd release a very good minisode. That's why we're discussing the DEAD KENNEDYS episode of Bryan Ray Turcotte and Bo Bushnell's terrific THE ART OF PUNK web series. As a faithful DTD-er who's listened to our discussion of the BLACK FLAG episode of THE ART OF PUNK, you already know that we're big fans of the series -- and that we're not poseurs. We do real punk stuff. Like all the time (never mind that Pete's primary exposure to the...2022-01-1748 minDocs Till Death1991: THE YEAR THAT PUNK BROKE: The Unbearable Lightness of Being IronicHow goes it, Docs Till Death-ers?! This week, the crew discusses Dave Markey's film from 1992 called 1991: THE YEAR THAT PUNK BROKE. We gotta admit, we're a little confused, so we're glad that Thirstin' More could be on hand to serve as spiritual guide, educating us in the ways of the grunge. The film is a riveting snapshot of "alternative" music in the moments before that music, and Nirvana in particular, would achieve immense global success -- which in turn, would lead to seismic shifts in the music industry and in culture, more broadly. Plus, the movie also features one (mayb...2022-01-101h 27Docs Till DeathMINISODE: Good Band, Bad InfluenceHappy New Years, DTD-ers! We're back with a brand new minisode. This week, we kick off the year with a discussion of the punk rock phenomena of "Good Band, Bad Influence," which refers to classic bands that are maybe a little TOO popular, because they are often cited by not-so-classic bands as key influences. But in typical DTD salon fashion, other intellectually stimulating topics enter into the mix (shout out to The Chase Theory), and the episode winds up being about GBBIs as much as that one Seinfeld episode is about eating at a Chinese restaurant. Know what we mean...2022-01-0359 minDocs Till DeathBANE: You're so BANE, you probably think this doc (HOLDING THESE MOMENTS) is about you!"Bane, Bane, they're good for your heart / The more you listen, the more you understand that they were an influence for Have Heart" That's right, DTD-ers! We're beginning our episode description with that famous couplet, so you KNOW we've got something good in store for you. This week, we're talking HOLDING THESE MOMENTS (2020), the recent BANE doc directed by Dan Elswick. It's a fun, and unexpectedly touching, one. But fear not, friends, we deliver exactly what you'd expect -- including Pete eating a hut dug, Geoff wearing a leather duster; and Matt analyzing verb tense usage. Put simply, it's hardcore...2021-12-271h 24Docs Till DeathA CRUSTmas Carol: Docs Till Death Gets un-ScroogedSeasons Greetings, Docs Till Death-heads! This week, the DTD crew takes a detour from their epoch-defining discussions of punk and hardcore docs, and instead we take an inner journey to discover the real meaning of punk. And wouldn't you know it! By the end of their journey -- which includes visits from past, present, and future punk and hardcore luminaries -- we actually do discover the true meaning of punk! It's a crustpunkmas miracle!! God save the queen, everyone!! (If none of what we've just said makes any sense, then you need to listen to the episode.

All of us here at DTD are very familiar with Fugazi's many wonderful records and with arty Fwench New Wave cinema, so we believe that we are the perfect podcast to discuss Cohen's movie. And if we had to identify one weakness, it would probably be that we, as a podcast, care too much about punk and hardcore, and that we sometimes go TOO FAR to do...2021-12-131h 29Docs Till DeathTHE ART OF PUNK: BLACK FLAG (no Rob Liefeld shit)Welcome home, DTD-ers! We've missed you so, so we've put together a very special minisode. This week, we discuss the BLACK FLAG episode of Bryan Ray Turcotte and Bo Bushnell's terrific THE ART OF PUNK web series. And if you know Black Flag like we know Black Flag (and we know Black Flag, bc we're no poseurs), then you know that Black Flag's art means primarily the work of the great Raymond Pettibon -- with all due respect to the also great Edward Colver. So what more do we need to say? This is good, important, and meaningful stuff. Pettib...2021-12-061h 06Docs Till DeathAFRO-PUNK: The Year That Afro-Punk BrokeHey there, Doc-Heads! Your friendly neighborhood podcast hosts are back, and this week we're discussing James Spooner's seminal film, AFRO-PUNK. As always, we raise a series of important questions -- like whether it makes more sense to call the film a "documentary" or a "conversation"? what counts as valid commentary when you are not a film's (or any work of art's) intended audience? and, of course, is that a framed press photo of Ashes behind Chaka? We also laugh way too much at our own jokes... but not in a RHCP sort of way (SPOILER ALERT!). Are you confused now? Do yo...2021-11-291h 21Docs Till DeathPunk Compilations: Food (Not Bombs) For ThoughtHey there, Doc-heads! We’re back with a minisode about punk comps. And if you have not yet realized that we came of punk-age in the 90’s, then this one – and especially the amount of time we spend discussing MULTIPLE Food Not Bomb benefit comps – is really gonna hammer home that point. But don’t be mistaken; we also touch on timeless punk concerns, like whether streaming has killed the comp as a genre, whether the best comps are ones where each band sounds practically the same, and whether comps still make Geoff go “butt wild.” All that, more, AND a very speci...2021-11-2259 minDocs Till DeathGIMME DANGER: Gimme Fuel, Gimme Fire, Gimme the Stooges Doc I RequireHey there, Doc-Heads! We're back, and this week we discuss Jimmy J's GIMME DANGER, the story of The Stooges. It's definitely one of the better made punk docs, but please don't let that worry you, or lead you to believe that we let the doc's sophisticated storytelling and overall quality impact our approach in any way. In classic DTD form, we spend more time discussing the last five minutes of the film than we do the rest of the movie, combined. We also spend A LOT of time discussing (important) film-adjacent issues, like Kate from the B-52s guest appearances, marsh...2021-11-151h 23Docs Till DeathChew on This!This is a very special minisode, Doc-heads -- 50% because we discuss the defining features of "punk" food; 50% because we discuss some legendary punk restaurants, 50% because we discuss carob (a.k.a. hippy ambrosia), 50% because we shout out the vegetarian food truck of a fellow punker, and at least 75% because we are pleased to introduce OUR MOST RECENT SPONSOR! But the biggest reason that this episode is special is because of you, dear listener. That's right; we know that you are special, even though it's not evident to most people. But when you listen to Docs Till Death, you show how...2021-11-0849 minDocs Till DeathTHE FILTH AND THE FURY: Never Mind the Sex Pistols, Here's the Sox PostelsAttention, Doc-Heads!

It's certainly impossible to even begin to imagine what might be in store when you sit down to listen to the DTD crew sit down and discuss the movie that no less than ROLLING STONES positions as #2 on their "Best Punk Rock Movies of All Time" list. That's right: ROLLING STONES. #2. WOW! Well, in case you haven't grasped what that means (and if you're someone who skipped the title of this episode), it means that this week we're discussing Julien Temple's THE FILTH AND TH...2021-11-011h 26Docs Till DeathSorry, Not Sorry.This week, the DTD crew delivers it's first mini-sode, and its a good one! And you can believes us about that, because we're impartial. For the most part, the episode is an apologia for being unapologetic. But we also touch on the ways jam bands have influenced Geoff, Dave Grohl, punk house disagreements, and spooky Halloween-themed punk bands (ever heard of a little band called The Misfits?). Probably not, but you should give them a listen... AFTER you listen to this Podcast Awards nominated episode.

If you’re curious why Hanna left Le Tigre during the height of the band’s popularity, it’s the documentary for you. But… if you‘re curious to hear more about Geoff‘s sincere, deep, and somewhat uncharacteristic reaction to once passing Hanna on the street (IRL), then this is the PODCAST for you. And, if that’s not enough, we now have 100% more sponsors and 100% less RHCP references. Sounds good, right?

You learn something new every day! Anyway, after we overcame our initial disappointment, we discovered a doc that has much to appreciate (including Thirsting More, Egg Hunt, and Beefeater) — even though tomatoes are NEVER EVEN MENTIONED! But we got you covered, smothered, and chunked. So press play and lettuce bring you da heat!

But don’t worry, sports fans; the American Hardcore episode will be up next week. In the meantime, Pete and Geoff do what they do best: keep it punk. They ponder what they’ve learned and how they’ve grown. They also work to see how many obscure references to mid 90's hardcore 7”s they can shove in while they make fun of each other.

While Geoff waxes nostalgic, Pete re-evaluates his own tour behavior and Matt says “no more!” to mid 90s Oakleys. It’s definitely a weird one, so you probably want to 1) x up, 2) break out the madeleines, and 3) give it a listen.
