This week we're dusting off a true gem from the Tone Mob archives! My 2019 conversation with Mike Mitchell of The Kingsmen. Recorded live in a Portland cigar bar, this one dives into the chaotic birth of garage rock and the most famous three chords in history: Louie Louie. Mike tells the story of how the band cut the track in a one-hour, $36 recording session — and then somehow wound up under FBI investigation because nobody could understand the freakin' lyrics. (Imagine J. Edgar Hoover, in a suit and sensible heels, spending taxpayer money trying to figure out if a bunch of teenagers were singing about naughty, naughty things. You can't make this stuff up.) We also get into the invention of Sunn Amps, how their pants-blowing stage volume influenced Hendrix, The Who, and the Stones, and why some folks consider The Kingsmen the accidental godfathers of punk. The Kingsmen's FBI story has been making the rounds on the internet lately, and I thought it fitting to have folks hear it from the man himself. It's a reminder that rock 'n' roll has always been loud, messy, a little stupid, and that's exactly why it's beautiful. So crank this one up, blow your hair back, and enjoy some history from the loudest living room in America. RIP Mike Mitchell. Support The Show And Connect! The Text Chat is back!

(Gestures at a circle) You know, for kids! Mike Mitchell and Nick Wiger of the Doughboys join us for a freewheeling, gut-busting episode about the time Joel Silver gave the Coens a bunch of money to make a “commercial film” and then it ended up being 1994's The Hudsucker Proxy. A sampling of topics discussed: Paul Newman being hot up until the day he died (and possibly after), whether or not this movie has a Sturges protagonist in a Capra film or vice versa, whether or not the previous question even matters, the fact that Griffin has never seen The Wire yet has watched every episode of Greg the Bunny, the amount of baby wipes David has to buy in a month, the extent to which the style of humor in Hudsucker overlaps with that of The Simpsons, and a whole bunch of Yaddle talk for some reason.

From Super Mario Bros. (1993, aka the one of the weirdest movies ever made) to The Last of Us and Sonic the Hedgehog dominating modern screens, they unpack what works, what flops, and why Hollywood keeps trying to make “Doom” happen (it's not going to happen).Then buckle up, because I'm bringing you inside the mayhem of Twisted Metal Season 2 with exclusive interviews from the cast and creatives - including the always epic Anthony Mackie and Stephanie Beatriz, showrunner Michael Jonathan Smith, Samoa Joe, Mike Mitchell, Tiana Okoye, Patti Guggenheim, Sailor Bell Curda, Lisa Gilroy, and Richard De Klerk. It's like Mad Max chugged five Monster Energy drinks and landed on Peacock.And to close things out? A real-life couple making fake-life horror magic - Dave Franco and Alison Brie join to talk about their twisted new film Together. They talk codependency, prosthetics, toilet logistics, and cuddling red flags. It's a lot. In the best way.

He invented the summer blockbuster. He inspired millions of people around the world to “watch the skies.” And now, he has sent Griffin Newman into an existential crisis over the question “what is comedy?” Our friends Mike Mitchell and Nick Wiger of The Doughboys join us to talk about Steven Spielberg's infamously unfunny 1941. Why IS this film - loaded with so many comedic superstars - boring as shit? Is the opening scene one of the most embarrassing exercises in hubris ever committed to screen? Would this movie be better if they just inserted the entirety of Dumbo into it? Why does Eddie Deezen keep getting banned from dining establishments? Someone has to ask these things.
