Natty Frenchy, guitarist for the Skatalites, The Congos and literally any legendary reggae artist you can think of, stops by the shop and schools Rick, Cindy and Mike in the history of Jamaican music. Music by Natty Frenchy Theme Song by Freaky Wilderness

Welcome to the back of the shop! Brush the saw dust off that stool over there and have a seat. Rick, Cindy and Mike talk all shop.

Podcast! Right ahead! Man the life boats as the class plumbs the depths of animation with TITANIC: THE LEGEND GOES ON. Will these podcasters choose to go down with the ship? It's sink or swim as we delve into our first animated film. But *not* the first animated retelling of the Titanic with talking animals, if you can believe it. Editor of MERRY LITTLE BATMAN Andy Young joins us for a chat that's Mucho Gusto. Party Time!

Your Video High Videoracles have returned. We stare into the 2024 that sicko cinema predicted and jack into the void. What kind of speculative wasteland simulation from outer space will the future force upon us this year? The class picks apart four movies - THROUGH THE TIME BARRIER (1960) / A BOY AND HIS DOG (1975) / HIGHLANDER II: THE QUICKENING (1991) / THE THIRTEENTH FLOOR (1999) - and learn what they know about our world. Spoiler: it sucks.

Guitar Makers Rick Kelly and Cindy Hulej with Producer Mike the Mic hang out and chat with guests in the legendary Greenwich Village shop Carmine Street Guitars.

The Bones of Old New York is a new podcast from Carmine Street Guitars, a guitar shop in New York's iconic Greenwich Village which opened in 1990. The podcast is hosted by Rick Kelly and Cindy Hulej, two world renowned luthiers who make guitars from repurposed wood found in historic New York City buildings. Rick Kelly has been making guitars for over 50 years and has made Instruments for some of the world's most legendary artists including Bob Dylan, Lou Reed, Motley Crue, Jim Jarmusch, Allen Woody and Lenny Kaye. Cindy started working for Rick 11 years ago as his apprentice and has quickly become one of the premier guitar builders in New York making instruments for artists like Jackson Smith, Michael Imperioli and Kurt Vile. In 2018 a documentary about the shop directed by Ron Mann (Altman, Tales of Rat Fink, Grass) premiered to critical acclaim bringing international attention to Rick and Cindy. This is when they met the producer of the Bones of Old New York, Mike Guggino, who was the sound mixer on the film. They began recording at the end of 2021 and continued sporadically throughout the last 2 years having various guests come by and talk about music, art, life, New York and of course, guitars. The idea behind the podcast is simple. The listener gets to hang out in the back of the shop with Rick, Cindy and Mike while they have conversations with artists and shop regulars. It's a window into a time when Greenwich Village was full of painters, musicians, beat poets, coffee shops and counterculture freak-niks. A place where many of today's most influential artists got their start. Some of the guests in the first season include Captain Kirk Douglas of the Roots, Steve Gunn, Dylan Keefe of Marcy Playground and Lenny Kaye and many more. The Bones of Old New York Premiers February 14th.

What is actually happening? Only the trees know for sure in M. Night's eco-thriller "The Happening".

Welcome to HELLGATE (1989)! A place where you can relax and remember the simpler times - doo-wop on the radio, menacing bikers, huge mustaches, the inability to be female and not get objectified in a diner, old-timey attractions that somehow make money...we've got it all! We'd like to thank you for joining us! Another Schlocktober, another head-scratcher. Just the way we like it. Don't forget your pie!

It's time for a hazy 90's adventure with 1999's "Go".

We watched the first 3 episodes of new sensation ZOM 100 and it included beer runs, depression and a naked former real estate agent flying through the air.

Yup! An Isekai featuring a sentient Vending Machine as the main character. Japan has once again created something so ridiculous that we had to watch it.

It's the sequel to our GUNBUSTER episode a year ago! GUNBUSTER 2, however was not directed by Hideaki Anno as the original was. Is this 6 ep series a sign of what was to come from studio Gainax (Gurren Lagann, Darling in the Franxx @ Trigger) or is it an absolute dud?

Our first foray into Baki was um... a mild one! This Baki OVA from 1994: Grappler Baki: The Ultimate Fighter is about 45 min in length.

Like a dog with a bone, we're obsessed with BINGO (1991). This shaggy dog story follows a runaway circus dog that travels America in search of a family. Billed as starring a "sort of canine Macaulay Culkin," this dog and pony show comes straight from the Blockbuster shelves of Jamie's memory. But is this another forgotten childhood gem, or are we barking up the wrong tree? Go Packers!

We may not know anything about astrology, but we know what we like. And that's not knowing anything about astrology.

If the title means anything, it's the sheer pace with which new concepts are thrown out in SPLIT SECOND (1992). A thematic chopped salad, this dystopian thriller stars Rutger Hauer as a indeterminably psychic cop on the edge chasing a heart-eating serial killer through the flooded streets of London to avenge the death of the partner he cuckolded before he is driven mad by the heartbeat of the clawed rat-mutant sewer dweller that may be the actual Devil with an interest in astrology and scampish sense of humor. What's that? Blood? Coming out of my nose? Huh.
