Justina Walford talks about the documentary Don't Fall in Love with Yourself with director Jon Nix and the film's subject Justin Pearson. The film dives deep into the personal and professional life of Justin Pearson—from his punk rock roots in San Diego to his rise in the punk world to cult celebrity after appearing on Jerry Springer. Through gritty, never-before-seen VHS and Mini-DV footage, the documentary offers an unflinching look at a career built on controversy, passion, and a refusal to conform. Pearson opens up about the highs, lows, and the tragic moments that shaped him, while reflecting on a three-decade journey through one of the most influential, underground music scenes.
Best known for his “annoying” (his words) band The Locust, Justin Pearson is the focus of Jon Nix's new documentary DON'T FALL IN LOVE WITH YOURSELF — streaming now on Apple TV. A doc about Pearson's life and the San Diego Punk scene, Cantore talks to Justin Pearson about the film and the difficulty of self promotion.

The movie this week is William Friedkin's Bug (2006) adapted from the play by Tracy Letts. Joining the ghouls is filmmaker/writer Jon Nix who plugs his documentary about Justin Pearson, Don't Fall in Love With Yourself. (Available from the fine folks at Vinegar Syndrome.) They also discuss Gaspar Noe's Lux Aeterna, Alfred (1973) Conner O' Malley's The Mask, Colegas aka Pals, and all about Phrogging: Hider in my House and movies where someone is hiding in the walls. From wiki: “Bug is a 2006 psychological thriller film directed by William Friedkin and written by Tracy Letts, based on his 1996 play of the same name. The film stars Ashley Judd, Michael Shannon, Lynn Collins, Brían F. O'Byrne, and Harry Connick Jr.Bug debuted at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival before being purchased by Lionsgate, which released the film the following year in May 2007. The film received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised its intensity, directing, acting, and take on paranoia, but were polarized about its writing, in particular the film's ending. Friedkin and Letts collaborated again as director and writer on the 2011 film Killer Joe.”NEXT WEEK: Singapore Sling (1990)Jon Nix's website: https://www.jonnixfilm.com/Jon Nix's Twitter: https://twitter.com/jonnixfilmJon Nix's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonnixfilm/Website: http://www.bloodhauspod.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/BloodhausPodInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bloodhauspod/Email: bloodhauspod@gmail.comDrusilla's art: https://www.sisterhydedesign.com/Drusilla's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hydesister/Drusilla's Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/drew_phillips/Joshua's website: https://www.joshuaconkel.com/Joshua's Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/joshuaconkel.bsky.socialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshua_conkel/Joshua's Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/joshuaconkel

Today's Unwatchables takes our first dive into non-fiction with help from Jon Nix, documentary filmmaker and director of the new film Don't Fall in Love with Yourself. Joshua Oppenheimer's documentaries about the 1960's Indonesian mass killings are a singularly bizarre and uncomfortable spectacle: The Act of Killing allows the killers themselves to gleefully re-enact their atrocities, while The Look of Silence sets up direct confrontations between the perpetrators and a victim's brother. We discuss the ethical considerations of such a project, which film better illuminates its harrowing subject, and why genocidal killers are so into gaudy musical numbers. You can find more from Jon at https://www.jonnixfilm.com/ Unwatchables is hosted by Marc Dottavio and Seth Troyer, produced by Tony Scarpitti, featuring artwork by Micah Kraus.
