Today's episode is about "Anvil! The Story of Anvil", a 2008 doc about the then-obscure Canadian heavy metal band Anvil. The film was directed by Sacha Gervasi. Our guest for this episode is Fran Broderick, who records as Left-Handed 2nd Baseman. Check out his new album "The Dogs Race to the Door" and more at lh2b.com. The movie follows the band's two core members, childhood friends Steve "Lips" Kudlow and Robb Reiner, as they confront the challenges of being middle-aged rockers who never found the success they felt they deserved. Lips and Robb work delivery and construction jobs, scrape together gigs, and try to support their families while continuing to chase their rock star dreams. We see them go through a calamitous European tour, a heated album recording process, and various ups and downs (more downs than ups, to be honest). The movie is an enduring classic because Lips and Robb are such loveable, sympathetic characters. Lips' heartfelt, inspirational speeches are unforgettable. Regardless of whether you are a metalhead or a metal-agnostic, you can't help but root for these guys. m/ Rock Docs is a Treble Media Podcast hosted by David Lizerbram & Andrew Keatts   Twitter: @RockDocsPod   Instagram: @RockDocsPod   Cover Art by N.C.

Die erste Doku in der Laterne! Anfang der 80er hatte die Metal-Band Anvil in Fachkreisen einen wohlklingenden Namen. Riesenfan und Roadie war der jugendliche Sacha Gervasi, der zwanzig Jahre später erstaunt feststellte, dass die beiden Altrocker Lips und Robb Reiner zwar nicht in der Versenkung verschwunden waren – aber verbissen dagegen anrockten. Ein Film über Musik, Underdogs und die wirklich wichtigen Dinge, die unsere Seele nähren.

This week on Remainders, we talk about the 2008 documentary Anvil! The Story of Anvil. Anvil is the story of a veteran heavy metal band that influenced the genre, but never saw their own success. Childhood friends Steve ‘Lips' Kudlow and Robb Reiner made a pact to become rock stars and they never looked back, despite the doubts, setbacks, day-jobs, and all the other mundane chores that got in their way. A rockumentary hailed by Scorsese about a band adored by Motorhead.

ANVIL! THE STORY Of ANVIL follows Canadian heavy-metal band Anvil as they delivered a highly influential 1982 album Metal on Metal that would inspire the likes of Anthrax and Metallica, and then dropped off the map to begin what would become decades of toiling in obscurity. Director and former Anvil roadie Gervasi follows guitarist Steve "Lips" Kudlow and drummer Robb Reiner as they stumble through a harrowing European tour and reflect on failure, friendship, resilience and the will to follow even the most impossible of dreams. ANVIL! THE STORY OF ANVIL (2009) received widespread critical and public acclaim following its release by Abramorama and features appearances by an array of heavy metal icons, including Metallica's Lars Ulrich, Guns N' Roses' Slash, Motörhead's Lemmy, Anthrax's Scott Ian, and Slayer's Tom Araya. The film is tied for 6th place as one of the highest rated documentaries of all time on Rotten Tomatoes with a 98% certified fresh rating, and a 90% audience score with over 5000+ votes. It was named one of 2009's best documentaries by the International Documentary Association, the Online Film Critics Society, and the National Society of Film Critics. It also made the year-end Top 10 lists in publications such as the New York Times, Washington Post, Newsweek, Village Voice, and many others. Director Sacha Gervasi (My Dinner with Herve, The Terminal, Hitchcock) joins us to talk about the unbelievable “making of” The Story of Anvil, as well as the remarkable journey his scrappy little film has been on for the last 13 years and all of the doors it has opened for him.

The team behind "Anvil: The Story of Anvil" including director Sacha Gervasi and the band's co-founders Steve "Lips" Kudlow and Robb Reiner. A re-mastered version of the 2008 documentary is being re-released. Also, Kathryn Ferguson, the director of the Sinéad O'Connor documentary "Nothing Compares".

Q&A on the film Anvil! The Story of Anvil with director & executive producer Sacha Gervasi and Anvil band members Steve "Lips" Kudlow and Robb Reiner. Moderated by Mara Webster, In Creative Company. Canadian heavy-metal band Anvil delivered a highly influential 1982 album that would inspire the likes of Anthrax and Metallica, and then dropped off the map to begin what would become decades of toiling in obscurity. Director and former roadie Sacha Gervasi follows guitarist Steve "Lips" Kudlow and drummer Robb Reiner as they stumble through a harrowing European tour and reflect on failure, friendship, resilience and the will to follow even the most impossible of dreams.

Steve "Lips" Kudlow and Robb Reiner aka "The Hungo Hammer" have been bandmates and rock 'n roll co-conspirators since the 1970s. Their band Anvil had massive success in the 1980s after the release of their now-classic album, "Metal is Metal".  Bands such as Anthrax, Slayer, and Metallica all credit Anvil with having influenced their sound.  Due to forces beyond their control, Anvil's success didn't stick, and they toiled in obscurity for several years... until 2009, when an old friend and roadie—Sacha Gervasi—approached them about making a documentary about the band. Anvil: The Story of Anvil  took the world by storm with its gritty but touching story of true friendship, commitment, and artistic integrity. The rock doc re-ignited fans around the world.  Since then, the band has been living their long-held dream of touring full-time, and making a living as musicians. Now, 13 years after its initial release, the re-mastered Anvil: The Story of Anvil, is being re-released to theatres, to the delight of fans both new and old. In this interview, Jane talks to drummer Robb Reiner and director Sacha Gervasi about the buzz around the film's release, the band's imminent European tour, and what success means. Plus, Jane suggests a name for the next Anvil album.LINKSAnvil: The Story of Anvil - Official WebsiteTheatrical release at Hot Docs, Toronto - Sept 27 & Oct 1 , 2022Anvil Facebook pageMUSIC IN THIS EPISODE Samples:"Teabag" - Impact is Imminent (2022) "Lockdown" - Impact is Imminent (2022)"Oh, Jane" - Hard'N'Heavy (1981)"Plastic in Paradise" - Legal at Last (2020)"Metal on Metal" - Metal on Metal (1982)Theme Song:Music Buddy's theme song is called "Human Stuff".

For many (too many, sadly) it was our introduction to Lips and Robb and their decades long struggle to be taken seriously in rock and roll. The world fell in love with these guys, and the movie, and they've been enjoying a lot more success ever since. Anvil's Lips Kudlow and Robb Reiner along with director Sacha Gervasi join us to discuss their lives since the release, the new remastered version hitting theaters and Anvil's new album, Impact is Imminent. Enjoy!

Episode 109 - Steve “Lips” Kudlow, singer and guitarist for the band Anvil! Many people know the band from the award winning 2008 documentary, “Anvil: The Story of Anvil.” The band was incredibly influential early in the heavy metal game. With Motorhead, Metallica, Anthrax, Slayer and many more all citing them as an influence. Due to bad management and promotion the band didn’t break through to the next level. However after the success of the movie they finally broke through and continue to make albums and tour to this day. Lips is a great story teller and hilarious in this interview. 0:00:00 - Intro0:02:05 - Canada & U.S. Differences 0:05:25 - Drummer Robb Reiner 0:06:25 - Johnny Z Setting Up Shows0:10:45 - Aerosmith, David Krebs, & Musical Style0:17:10 - Having No Record Label for Four Years 0:17:52 - Lemmy Offering Lips to Join Motorhead 0:19:30 - Making Music for a Lifetime 0:20:45 - Side Work So Lips Could Play Music 0:22:20 - Luck & Success & Perseverance0:24:48 - Bad Gigs & Promotion0:30:12 - Band Fights0:36:30 - Big Shows vs Club Shows 0:39:10 - Jealousy From Other Musicians 0:42:05 - "Legal at Last" & Marijuana & Hemp Usage0:47:05 - "Nabbed in Nebraska" Song Story 0:51:15 - Agreeing with Ted Nugent's Politics & Guns 0:59:35 - Live Shows and Next Album for 20221:03:25 - Fear & Misinformation with Coronavirus 1:04:58 - Children's Charity 1:06:05 - Wrap Up Anvil Website:http://anvilrocks.comSt Jude's Children's Hospital Website:https://www.stjude.orgChuck Shute Website:http://www.chuckshute.comSupport the show (https://venmo.com/Chuck-Shute)

This week on the pod, we tackled our first documentary, with "Anvil: The Story of Anvil."

This week we hit Canada to talk to two awesome rock bands from the Great White North. First up is the early 80s rock band Toronto. They were a pretty big deal north of the border, but never got the credit they deserved (in more ways than one, as you'll hear) in the States. Then we talk to the legendary Robb Reiner of Anvil to find out what his life has been like since the success of their 2008 documentary Anvil: The Story of Anvil.

Writer/director of FILMAGE: THE STORY OF DESCENDENTS/ALL, Matt Riggle, joins the podcast to educate us (ok, just Mike) on this great band. We hope to do the same for our listeners by reviewing The Replacements in COLOR ME OBSESSED and Anvil in ANVIL: THE STORY OF ANVIL.

Welcome back, loyal listeners.The second half of this episode has a decidedly musical bent to it.  Although you probably couldn't find two more different kinds of music.  "Yankee Doodle Dandy" is a musical in the grand old tradition of vaudeville and tap dancing.  It has the distinction of being the 98th Greatest Movie of All Time, according to a 2007 poll by the American Film Institute.  This is truly a film like they just don't make any more, and at the center of it is none other than gangster hoodlum extraordinaire James Cagney.  This film will be a revelation to filmgoers who only know Cagney as the tough guy from movies like "The Public Enemy" and "White Heat."  Cagney is one helluva hoofer and he was hand picked to play the American patriot-songsmith George M. Cohan by Mr. Cohan himself.  It's one of the all time great performances.Cohan tries to convince investors to back one of his shows.You can download the podcast here by right-clicking on that link and choosing "save as", or you can use the convenient player located below:For the last portion of the show, Phil and Andrew review the heavy metal doc "Anvil: The Story of Anvil" about the eponymous Canadian band that influenced a score of prominent heavy metal groups, but never found the success that they ultimately deserved.  It's a feast of raw emotions, heartbreaks and disappointments and the power of rock.  While billed as being "Hilarious" Phil and Andrew both drew on the poignant aspects of the story in their review, bringing it all together to make a larger point about the dearth of warmth in most modern movies. This film goes up to 11.

If you've never heard us before, we're glad this is your first Albatross Applesauce episode.  Cause this one is fun.  Join Andrew and Phil in a rollicking discussion (some might say evisceration) of the new film starring Aubrey Plaza entitled, "The To-Do List."  In this piece (of cinema) the serious-looking Plaza plays an 18 year old girl attempting to gain a lot of sexual experience very quickly.  Within 1 hour and 44 minutes to be exact.  But seriously, she is a rising college freshman who has never done anything sexual before.  The film consists of her quest to complete a variety of sex acts before the semester begins, the culmination being losing her virginity to Rusty Waters, a tanned, hunky, guitar-playing lifeguard.  Andrew and Phil may have reviewed their worst movie ever.Not very sexy.You can download the podcast here by right-clicking on that link and choosing "save as", or you can use the convenient player located below:In a complete 180 degree spin, we discuss the Nicolas Roeg film "Insignificance" for our Criterion Corner.  These films couldn't be more different and here at Albatross Applesauce we pride ourselves on our eclectic selection.  This intelligent adult drama (three things that don't apply to "The To-Do List") is based on a stage play that pits Einstein, Marilyn Monroe, Joe DiMaggio and Senator Joe McCarthy in one hotel on one night in New York City.  What follows is a dialogue-driven tour-de-force that somehow never feels stagy.  Phil loved the film, but others may have a different reaction.Very sexy.Stay tuned for our second half when we review the James Cagney chestnut, "Yankee Doodle Dandy" and the heart-warming documentary favorite "Anvil: The Story of Anvil!"
