Podcast appearances and mentions of bert marcus

It’s just a few days before the 4th of July here in the United States and this FREE podcast episode is all about FREEDOM. The FREEDOM to pit two similarly themed (or similarly titled) documentaries together for some FREE brutality is what all these Chinese manufactured fireworks are all about. Stuart and Bob tear off their shirts for this VERSUS episode and they pit “American Meme” by Bert Marcus violently against Brendon Marotta’s “American Circumcision”. This conflict between two Americas will be decided here. Both docs are on Netflix. The question of what is better, memes or circumcision, can finally be laid to rest. INTERNET JOKES or DICK SKIN REMOVAL? Don’t think about it for one more second. Let us do the thinking for you. ALSO, there’s a reference to Bob getting his gall bladder removed. ALSO, we got some weird sponsors for this episode. ALSO, you should never perform circumcision with a sparkler. ALSO, FREEDOM MUTHAFUKAH FREEDOM! Only this documentary themed podcast can heal a nation, and if you don't like it THEN GET THE FUCK OUT! I’m sorry. That’s too aggressive. That’s not in the spirit of memes OR circumcision, and we apologize profusely. Keep on FUCKING FREEDOM!!!

November 29th: Nicole Ari Parker & Bert Marcus Join The Table by BUILDseries.com

BEHIND THE LENS gets the party started this week with some highlights of LOS ANGELES FILM FESTIVAL, plus writer/director ADAM REEVES talks MY BROTHER'S SHOES, while BERT MARCUS & CYRUS SAIDI talk EDM and WHAT WE STARTED! http://behindthelensonline.net http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com

WHAT WE STARTED aims to establish itself as the defining film of the electronic music genre. Through an artfully crafted narrative and stunning visual techniques, the film delves into the highly popular world of electronic dance music, providing backdoor access to a widely misunderstood, self-driven and well-insulated industry on its way to global domination. Presently, the genre is booming at a pinnacle higher than ever before, however most do not realize that electronic dance music began as an underground movement that originated in America. The film sets out to illuminate this rich history: from its underground inception in the late 1980s in America to the musicians and fans of this genre that relentlessly fought for their rights around the world, both in the dance club and on the streets, to find a safe space to express themselves, to the development of this modern, mainstream revolution that has taken the world by storm. Specifically, and with unprecedented access, WHAT WE STARTED follows industry pioneers, like Carl Cox, who are juxtaosed by the journey of a young, superstar of today, Martin Garrix. These dichotomous journeys of past and present are carefully interwoven to illuminate all viewpoints and highlight the momentous and groundbreaking time that electronic dance music is experiencing presently, while also leaving open the question of what will happen next for this incredible genre of music. WHAT WE STARTED Co-directors Bert Marcus and Cyrus Saidi join us to talk about the history of today’s dynamic soundtrack and their film’s world premiere at the Los Angeles Film Festival.
