On this uh, spicy, episode, Sarah and MJ are joined by Rob Wallis of The Movie Robcast to talk about a shark film grounded in realism, The Reef. They discuss the film's use of real shark footage, the palpable romantic chemistry between two of the leads, the ethics of making a film inspired by a true story without actually telling that story, and also say a lot of things that required bleeping.
In my kitchen this week I am joined by Rob Wallis, Co-Founder of Moth the first single-serve canned cocktail brand which brings you a perfectly balanced cocktail wherever you may need it. Moth wasn't always called Moth and it also wasn't always served in a can, so in this episode, I get to speak to Rob about the journey of MOTH, from having the idea to making it a reality and then pivoting in order to create a product which speaks to the consumers. In hindsight having a single-served cocktail ready to consume seems obvious as it isn't always convenient to have all the ingredients and spending the time creating the cocktail isn't for everyone, but no one was doing it. This is when Rob and his co-founder Sam had the idea to make the perfect old-fashioned that was as easy to drink as a beer. This is when Buveur was born which then re-branded into MOTH. In their journey, there was a lot of "luck" involved and being in the right place at the right time, although you may call it "luck" I would say that you create your own luck and there was a lot of hard work for 2 years before the pivotal moment that catapulted MOTH into what may seem like an overnight success. In this episode Rob and I discuss the following topics:Life before MOTHBuveur and the re-brand to MOTHThe name MOTH and what it meansThe vibe and culture they have created at MOTHRelationship with Co-Founder SamHow the journey started The pandemic and how it changed the companyBeing in the right place at the right timeWhat wellness means to Rob Top bars in LondonRob's last meal This episode was hosted by Georgia Symonds and produced by Maisie Peppitt Hosted on Acast.

In the latest ep, Robs Daniel and Wallis talk a whole bunch of movies. The pair open by giving their verdict on Babylon, Damien Chazelle's new picture, starring Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, Diego Calva, Jovan Adepo, and a cast of thousands. The movie takes a look at the wild days of Hollywood 1927, but does it capture the party atmosphere? The Robs end with M3GAN, the new killer doll movie from Blumhouse, starring Allison Williams. Is this one a slick, well-oiled fear machine or do the gears grind? Listen in to find out! Rob Wallis has been a particularly busy cinemagoer and gives his opinion on two indie horror flicks. Enys Men, the new folk horror from Mark Jenkins, the director of Bait, and Skinamarink, the unnerving mindscrambler from Kyle Edward Ball. The latter set opening box office records for a horror film at London's Prince Charles Cinema. So is it worth a watch?

Our journey through James Cameron's movies continues into the 1990s, and JC's final two movies (to date) with Arnold Schwarzenegger. We begin with one of the finest films of the decade, Terminator 2: Judgment Day. What Aliens is to Rob Daniel, T2 is to Rob Wallis, and Mr. W reveals why in the episode. Not that Rob D is sniffy about the film. In fact , you could say this is a T2 love-in. Then onto True Lies, and here the Robs are joined by Chris Carr, producer and host of the excellent Secrets and Spies podcast. All three have reservations about the film, and discuss how the film's sexual and racial politics seem out of kilter compared to the rest of Cameron's work. Chris also brings his expertise on all things espionage to look at what True Lies gets right and wrong. So, buckle up for all things Jim and Arnie, in the penultimate ep of our Cameron retrospective mini-series!

Episode 164 of The Movie Robcast is a bumper voyage through James Cameron's 1980s sci-fi extravaganzas. From the low-budget The Terminator, to his first studio gig with Aliens, to the seeming insanity of what he challenged himself and the cast to achieve with The Abyss, it's all here. Robs Daniel & Wallis realised they could not take this journey alone, and have recruited great guests. From 1:00 they are joined by Jesse Bailey and Cameron Harrison of the wonderful Open Pike Night podcast to discuss Cameron's breakthrough classic, The Terminator. From 1:10:00 the Robs welcome back frequent guest Sarah Johnson to talk all things Aliens. Aliens happens to be Sarah's favourite movie (she has exquisite taste) so there really was no better person to wax lyrical about James Cameron's masterpiece (according to Rob Daniel, and Sarah Johnson). We tried to keep our enthusiasm to short controlled bursts, but do occasionally gush. Then, at 2:02:00, our intrepid hosts are joined by another Robcast regular, Adrian Zak. Rob Wallis is unable to join this chat, but does reveal where he is. Rob D and Adrian then do a deep-dive (we're sorry) into Cameron's movie. A movie that tested the limits of both cast and crew, resulted in some of the best underwater scenes ever put to film, and changed cinema forever with its groundbreaking use of CGI. It's also Cameron's weakest film of the three, and we talk about why in the ep. So, thanks for listening. We'll be back in the next ep with Terminator 2 and True Lies!

Then onto the main review, Olivia Wilde's Don't Worry Darling. The reviews have been... mixed. The toxic gossip surrounding the film has been plentiful. So, what did the Robs make of it? Well, no spoilers to say opinions varied. But there is a unanimous verdict on Harry Styles' acting in the movie. Don't worry darling, it'll all make sense by the end.

So listen in to find out his opinions on the new Dario Argento movie, the latest film from Neil (Dog Soldiers, The Descent) Marshall, which film had the best gore, which brought a tear to the eye, and which movie a woman in front of him found unwatchable.

In this episode, Sarah and MJ are joined by Rob Wallis to talk about Spielberg's major studio debut, The Sugarland Express. They discuss its similarities and differences with Duel, the "aw, shucks" style performances, how the film was received by critics such as Ebert, Siskel, and Pauline Kael, and how the film was influenced by Westerns, Italian Neorealism, and the French New Wave.
In this ep Robs Daniel & Wallis dive into the finale instalment of Better Call Saul to discuss the brilliance contained within. Their chat also takes them into Breaking Bad and El Camino territory, and the Robs bring in other favourite crime shows, including Homicide: Life on the Streets, The Wire, and The Shield. They also stand in awe of the Better Call Saul cast, including Bob Odenkirk, Patrick Fabian, Jonathan Banks, Giancarlo Esposito, Tony Dalton, and Rhea Seehorn. If Seehorn doesn't nab that Best Supporting Actress Emmy award, Hollywood will burn... So, as we wave good to Saul Goodman, we're happy to say, s'all good man. NOTE: obviously there are spoilers for Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad contained in this episode, but also for the season finale of The Shield.

On this week's show we were treated to a few poems from poet and writer, Rob Wallis, a lifelong teacher who grew up in 50s Australia, a time when being queer was taboo and hardly any positive representations abounded. Rob was a bonded teacher before breaking out into adult teaching for many years, teaching many different subjects to all kinds of people. He is a bona fide teacher's teacher. These days Rob spends his days in Castlemaine writing poetry and sometimes pottering around his garden. Rob's sixth book is a poetic history of the gay male experience in Australia, focussing in on particular instances and people, titled 'Down Rainbow Road', published by Clouds of Magellan Press. We thank Rob very much for being our wonderful guest this week.robwallispoetry.com
Episode 127 of The Movie Robcast is a license to thrill affair. With No Time to Die finally released in cinemas, Robs Daniel & Wallis can let loose their opinions of Daniel Craig's final 007 outing. Unsurprisingly, they have plenty to talk about. From how this compares to Craig's previous Bond movies and other films in the franchise generally, to the performances of series newcomers Lashana Lynch, Ana de Armas and Rami Malek, to the possible influence of Wallace and Gromit on Bond 25, and much more. Surprises abound in No Time to Die so the Robs had to include a spoiler section, in which they talk about the stuff you shouldn't know about before watching the film. Don't worry, this section is heavily signposted. Preceding this, at 32.45 is a segment featuring Bond expert and Secrets & Spies podcast host Chris Carr. Chris gave fantastic insights into how this Bond ties into the series as a whole and the Ian Fleming novels, all while a helicopter apparently hovered above his flat. We've heard from him since the record and he seems to be fine… Lastly, The Movie Robcast will return…. To check out Chris' work and for more information on the Secrets and Spies podcast click on the following link: https://www.chriscarr.co.uk/ During the episode, Rob Wallis also refers to his friend Ian Kinane's International Journal of James Bond Studies, the first online, open-access research journal examining the impact and continued popularity of Ian Fleming's secret agent.

Episode 125 of The Movie Robcast takes a one-inch punch at Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings. How does Marvel's first Asian focussed feature hold up? How does this twenty-fifth film in the MCU pave the way for what comes next? And, what is next? All this is discussed, plus Rob Wallis allows Rob Daniel to indulge in his passion for classic Hong Kong action cinema, and the sheer awesomeness of Tony Leung and Michelle Yeoh. Bruce Lee also crops up. So, settle back or form a ring if you're listening in a group (does that ever happen with podcasts), and enjoy!

*SPOILER WARNING* This episode contains numerous spoilers about The Silence of the Lambs and Manhunter. It also references strong language featured in The Silence of the Lambs' dialogue. Episode 115 of The Movie Robcast conducts a full investigation into two classic movies, both of which celebrate anniversaries this year. Jonathan Demme's The Silence of the Lambs hits the big 3-0, while Michael Mann's Manhunter reaches 35. Which makes 75% of the contributors to this episode feel rather creaky in the bones… Hungry to join the Robs in this discussion are splendid guests Ian Bird and Sarah Johnson. They dig deep into Demme's multiple Oscar-winning shocker, recalling its impact at the time, the ways in which it broke the Hollywood mould, its progressive depiction of a female protagonist, and the accusations of transphobia and homophobia levelled against it. Then onto Manhunter, the initially overlooked but now lauded chiller that gave Hannibal Lecter (or Lecktor as this film has it…) his first big screen outing. There is also plenty of chat about author Thomas Harris' novels, the differences between Anthony Hopkins and Brian Cox's Hannibal Lecters, and the sheer awesomeness of Jodie Foster's performance as Clarice Starling and William Petersen's as Will Graham. Bon Appetit… The Silence of the Lambs' depiction of transsexual themes is also discussed in the Netflix documentary Disclosure. Click here for details on how to watch: https://www.netflix.com/de-en/title/81284247?preventIntent=true The Why Are Dads podcast also features an illuminating discussion on the film. Details of the episode can be found here: https://www.podpage.com/why-are-dads/the-silence-of-the-lambs-w-harmony-colangelo/ In other news, our own Rob Wallis recently guested on the wonderful podcast Tea-V-Time, with Lucy Buglass.

Before moving onto the wonders WandaVision has in store, they find room to take a farewell swipe at the Trump administration and discuss how amazing the cast lists were for episodes of ITV's Marple. Rob Wallis also the braved that David Bowie biopic Stardust and reports back. He really is a star, man.

Episode 106 of The Movie Robcast sees Robs Daniel & Wallis joined by friend of the podcast and regular contributor Adrian Zak. The three discuss the new David Fincher film, Mank, which tells the story of Herman J. Mankiewicz, co-writer of Citizen Kane. Or the sole writer of Citizen Kane if you believe the tack taken in this new Netflix movie. Rob Wallis also gives his thoughts on The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone. What does Rob make of Francis Ford Coppola's re-edit of the not-much-loved The Godfather Pt. III? Listen on to find out, although bear in mind there are a couple of spoilers. However, the film's new title is itself the biggest spoiler. Finally, something very strange happened to our intrepid casters in pod after wrapping the initial episode. Stay tuned at the end to find out what… To follow the Robs on Twitter head to: https://twitter.com/rob_a_daniel https://twitter.com/robertmwallis To follow the podcast, head to: https://twitter.com/MovieRobcast To read Rob W's writing go to: http://ofallthefilmsites.com/ To read Rob D's writing go to: https://www.electric-shadows.com
Rob Wallis worked with Neil Peart for 30-plus years on instructional videos that brought Neil's meticulous compositions to life for aspiring and practiced drummers everywhere. Over the years, Rob became part of Neil's "inner circle" of trusted and most valued friends, and that friendship deepened their working relationship. Join us as Rob reminiscences on the life of his good friend Neil Peart--who once described their working relationship as second only to that of his bandmates in Rush.
Ep 103 sees Robs Daniel and Wallis embarking on another road trip with Borat. 14 years after the original smash hit movie, Sacha Baron Cohen brings his most famous creation back for a tour of Trump's America. What do our intrepid explorers in pod make of this latest film? Rob Wallis has been industrious on the new movie front, so also delivers his verdicts of Aaron Sorkin's The Trial of the Chicago Seven (starring Sacha Baron Cohen) and Sofia Coppola's On the Rocks, starring Rashida Jones and Bill Murray. And next episode we'll bring you that classic movie review we promised in ep 102!

The Movie Robcast reaches episode 99! And in the final double digit episode before we boldly to get into three figures (*gasp*) Robs Daniel and Wallis cast an eye over Disney's live action Mulan remake. The pair were really rather impressed with the 1998 animated version when reviewing it back on episode 87. So, what do they make of this $200m reimagining that has bypassed cinemas to premiere on Disney+? With a £19.99 price tag… Their chat dives deep into what's hot and what's not in the film, plus Hong Kong action movies, that 1998 original, plus the online calls for a boycott of the movie following star Yifei Liu's controversial comments about the Hong Kong protests. Then, Rob Wallis delivers his verdict on Charlie Kaufman's I'm Thinking of Ending Things, which has premiered on Netflix. The Twittersphere declared it a headscratcher of Tenet proportions, but what does Mr. Wallis think? Enjoy… and xièxiè(or thank you)!

Episode 96 of The Movie Robcast looks at two very different films, both of which bypassed cinemas due to Coronavirus to premiere on streaming services. Tom Hanks' Greyhound tells the World War 2 tale of a captain having to steer a convoy of ships through U-boat infested waters in the North Atlantic. And, excitingly, friend of the podcast Adrian Zak cameos to give his opinion on this lean, impressive naval thriller which has docked on Apple TV+. Then onto Palm Springs, an imaginative spin on the Groundhog Day premise starring Andy Samberg, Cristin Milioti and J.K. Simmons, and which can be found on Hulu. The Palm Springs discussion begins at 55.55. Rob Wallis also took one for the team and watched The Old Guard, starring Charlize Theron and which just dropped on Netflix.

Episode 93 of The Movie Robcast sees our intrepid Robs looking to the skies to discuss The Vast of Night, now streaming on Amazon Prime. On this quest they are joined once again by Tessa Scott, back after a triumphant appearance on the Whiplash episode. The trio give their verdict on Andrew Patterson's debut, a glorious evocation of 50s sci-fi wonder and paranoia. They discuss the influence of The Twilight Zone, what impressed them and much more. Rob Wallis also took one for the team and watched Artemis Fowl, the fell-at-the-starting-line wannabe franchise starter that has slunk out on to Disney+.

The Robs originally planned for the first episode in April to be Disney's live-action remake of Mulan. But, with that being another Coronavirus-related postponed movie, they thought why not go back to the 1998 version? Particularly as Rob D had not actually seen that one, despite always planning to. As a wise franchise one said, life finds a way... So, with Disney+ handily launching the week of record, Rob Daniel & Rob Wallis took a look at the 1998 Mulan. This then turned into an epic discussion of the film, the Disney Renaissance of the 1990s, Disney's classic movies (specifically Lady and the Tramp), the success (or not) of the "live action" remakes, racial sensitivity and the wonders of Chinese action cinema. You'd never guess the Robs are stuck inside, would you? One of them even watched Mulan II... They also give initial thoughts on Disney+ and there is even space for their thoughts on ITV's decision to show Steven Soderbergh's Contagion. We hope you enjoy the show.

In episode 85 of The Movie Robcast, Robs Daniel and Wallis go on an epic journey while reviewing Pixar's Onward. Well, they're outside in the middle of London again as Rob Wallis is on his lunchbreak and they have to find shelter because it starts raining. It seemed epic at the time. As they are discussing a fantasy movie, Rob W has opportunity to bust out his Gollum impersonation. It really is something rather special. Conversation inevitably moves onto the impact of the Coronavirus. As this was recorded on March 11th, the Robs still think Disney's live-action Mulan will be the next movie they cover. The beautiful fools. Disney subsequently announced they were postponing Mulan indefinitely, but we've left the discussion in because it shows how quickly things have been moving. Elsewhere, Rob Daniel gets to show he doesn't quite grasp the intricacies of quarantining… Thanks as always for checking us out.

Episode 84 of The Movie Robcast casts an eye over the latest telling of The Invisible Man. From the Blumhouse stable and directed by Upgrade creator Leigh Whannell, it boasts Elisabeth Moss in the lead role as an abused woman who fears her ex may be closer than she realises. One of the Robs enjoyed this take on the classic, the other had more trouble seeing the good stuff. But, it makes for a lively discussion and they both agree this remake of a classic Universal monster is far superior to the 2017 redo of The Mummy. Rob Wallis also points out that, while The Mummy was an indisputable stinker, the podcast episode reviewing it was rather funny. So, in an act of shameless promotion, here it is again for those intrigued... https://apple.co/39qcGJ9 As this was recorded on Tuesday 3rd March, the Robs speculate as to whether No Time To Die will be moved back. Rob Daniel thinks it is likely to be shifted back to Christmas, but of course we now know it is November. But, it's close enough that we're not revoking his licence to kill. Thanks as always for checking us out. If you have any comments, why not leave us a review here or on Apple Podcasts here: apple.co/2T5DDMI.
Episode 78 of The Movie Robcast is proof that bad publicity can be as effective as positive hype. Rob Daniel had no intention of seeing Tom Hooper's adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's hit stage show. And then the negative reviews arrived. And kept on arriving. And conjured such bizarre and terrible images of what awaited audiences for Cats that he had to see the horrors for himself. Paying £10, he saw... oh did he see. And now cannot unsee. Rob Wallis is a little kinder towards the film, but not enough to give a pull line that could get The Movie Robcast its first poster quote. So, prepare for a journey to a fantastical place that should be full of wonder, but instead resembles The Island of Dr. Moreau. Where cats have human faces, mice have human faces and cockroaches have human faces. Where cats have hands and wear trainers. And everyone sings, but there is not a single good song to be had. A toxic place where no-one is feline fine. Welcome to Cats... Agree with our Cats put down? Disagree? Either way, why not leave us a review here or on Apple Podcasts here: apple.co/2ZRwq4w.

Hudson Music's Rob Wallis - Drummers' Hang Ep. 7 In Episode 7, Hudson Music founder (as well as founder of DCI Video, Drum Guru, Hudson Digital, and more) Rob Wallis shares some experiences with Steve Gadd, Neil Peart, meeting Mitch Mitchell, the experience of working with Liberty DeVitto -accessing the original, multi-track two-inch master recording Billy Joel tapes, learning about "Buddy World" and the controversy over the cover of the new Buddy book "Buddy Rich, One of a Kind" and provides a synopsis of the new book "My Las Vegas" which is a fascinating look into the incredible life of Louis Prima's longtime drummer Bobby Morris. Rob also talks about his drumming with several bands including his Allman Brothers tribute band "Soul Shine."

Episode 73 journey back to The Overlook Hotel for a discussion of Doctor Sleep, the sequel to both Stephen King and Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. Robs Daniel and Wallis also take this as an opportunity to review Stanley Kubrick's classic horror film, discussing why it still has such a hold on the imagination nearly forty years later. Horror fans will know Kubrick changed large parts of King's book, including the ending. So our intrepid casters in pod review how Doctor Sleep compares to King's source novel and spins gold from referring back to Kubrick's 1980 chiller. They still find time for horsing around, including Rob Wallis pulling "Jack Nicholson frozen in the snow faces". A lot of "Jack Nicholson frozen in the snow faces". He's just luck the wind didn't change when we were recording. You'll know he's doing it when you hear the giggling... Speaking of Mr Wallis, he penned an analysis of The Shining, plus other King adaptations, when the BFI had a retrospective of the author's work on screen in 2017.

The Electric Shadows Podcast reaches Bill and Ted's favourite number. In episode 69 Robs Daniel and Wallis stare into the deadlights of IT Chapter Two. Rob Daniel is none too impressed at how much has been chopped out of Stephen King's novel, despite the 171 minutes running time. Rob Wallis finds more to enjoy, but still has issues he runs through in a spoiler section. Yep, a spoiler section because no discussion of IT can avoid talking about how the novel's notoriously difficult ending is translated to the big screen. Our intrepid casters of pod also make space to discuss the 1990 IT mini-series, this year's Pet Sematary and the upcoming Doctor Sleep. They even make space for a brief discussion of an IT adaptation made for Indian TV, plus Rob Wallis' recollections of working through those Stephen King made-for-TV adaptations. So, join us for a lively discussion. You'll float too...
Episode 66 of The Electric Shadows Podcast tackles two different films indeed. First up we have Spider-Man: Far From Home. Can the latest film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe swing as high as Spider-Man: Homecoming or Avengers: Endgame? Or Into the Spider-Verse for that matter? Robs Daniel and Wallis take a look and rank this latest instalment against the webslinger's previous big screen adventures. The episode then journeys into the rural horrors of Ari Aster's Midsommar. The follow-up to Aster's Hereditary, it's folklore and cult horror in one. But, does Rob Daniel think it an improvement on Hereditary, that critical darling that left him cold? Rob Wallis was an Hereditary fan, so what does he make of this latest outing? There is also time for a discussion on what is next for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And what podcast episodes you can expect next. Join us...

Episode 63 of The Electric Shadows Podcast is a bonus instalment capping off our Night of the Living Dead trilogy. Those three episodes looked at George A. Romero's six Dead films, his other movies and the zombie explosion and totaled just under six hours of edited podcast time. But, that final episode just grazed the cranium rather than putting one in the brain, so our Living Dead series is still biting. Which is a flowery way of saying there is always something else to talk about. This episode came about after we had recorded those three Dead episodes. A Herculean effort that took eight hours, so thanks to Rob Wallis and Ian Bird for putting up with Rob Daniel's request that we got it all done in one day. Post-record, Ian was kicking himself for not discussing Jonathan Swift's A Modest Proposal. That mouth-wateringly scandalous slice of economic satire from 1729 that remains relevant to this day. So, the next morning we were all back in front of the microphone for a modest chat, including a discussion of flesh eating throughout the ages, in religion and popular culture. Don't worry, there are jokes. We would strongly recommend you listen to the previous three Night of the Living Dead instalments, which are episodes 53, 59 and 62 of The Electric Shadows Podcast. This episode refers to what we discussed there. A quick note also that this episode was recorded in October 2018. But, as of writing, Rob D still hasn't seen Overlord. Anyway, let's make a swift exit from this blurb and get on with the show. The opening track, A Modest Proposal, is by $trick9, whose YouTube page can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzgX2Jp6H4Ezg3dgMevJV4w
Rob Wallis is a co-founder, along with Paul Seigel, of DCI Music Video, later to be Hudson Music. Rob being a longtime provider of content to the drumming community; Rob is the OG of video content. DCI Music Video was responsible for many legendary drum education videos that were great in their day and today holds a wonderful nostalgia. Titles such as “Bernard Purdie on studio drumming”, Steve Gadd’s “Up Close”, Dennis Chambers & John Scofield’s “Serious Moves”, Carter Beauford’s “Under the Table and Drumming” and mentioned in the podcast, “Modern Drummer Festival 2000”. These videos have been embedded for many years in my drumming life and I think back on them like you would your childhood. So huge thanks to Rob, Paul and the team with Hudson Music for making that content possible and delivering value to the drumming community for all these years. A New Way Whenever you are learning some style of music, a lot of drummers will suggest learning the history of players within that genre. It is always recommended to learn the roots and the history behind it. With so many drummers creating video content these days, is it important I wonder to study the history of video content? If it is, well...DCI is where you’d have to start. Rob talks about the truckloads of tape from recording festivals and the storage areas where they would keep it. We are talkin’ thousands of pounds of the shit. Tapes everywhere! Imagine where in order to create your live content, you have to hire catering services! The level of expense that went into this stuff was intense, man. Massive risk, and yet...a range of rewards. On one hand, no one else was doing it. On the other, you could lose your shirt if it flopped. But no matter how you sliced it, there was a huge gap in the industry and these guys forged the way. What they came up with would become the beginning of a new era for music education. I want to focus on something for a minute….. This “gap” is what everyone should be looking at. What makes that difficult is the fact that everyone has everything already. The delivery of information has improved immensely by looking better, sounding better, being more user friendly, and well you get the point, right? That all requires budget, experience, a facility, a network - and probably a bunch more stuff that I have no clue about to make it work really well….potentially. But back when Rob and Paul were getting into this, no one had ever seen anything like it before! It made a big impression and the ceiling was high to scale it. But again, the costs were MASSIVE back in those days, as Rob says in the interview. Renting 100k camera equipment for $1500 a day (in the early 80’s remember) is what’s on the menu. The cost of a mistake is on a whole other scale. “ It’s a different ballgame,” was the term we used in the conversation and it is all true. A Slippery Slope So, Hudson Music has produced a lot of the VHS tapes, DVD’s, and education books over the years. And by VHS and DVD was how you were going to receive that content for some twenty years…..until YouTube came along. It was a time for some people to strike while the iron was hot. Once again, there would have been huge costs involved, massive technical hurdles, less accessibility, and huge costs (yes I realize I repeated that). So this was, yet again, a potential for a new era of education. And so the internet naturally became the focus for distribution. Since very early on, trusted providers such as Drumeo, Mike Johnston, Stephen Taylor, and Adam Tuminaro have all been chipping away and evolving in order to perfect online drum education. And to me it doesn’t look like there is a whole lot of room left to make this stuff exclusively. You could do it part-time, but likely you will be doing a lot of other stuff too to make ends meet. Music related or not. It goes without saying that because it is easy to create a quick and easy lesson for Instagram or Facebook, anyone can do it. The internet is an amazing space to build a voice and brand. Hell, that’s what I am trying to do. It is all in how you handle that though. Is what you make any good? Is there really any value in it? Has it been said 10,000 times before and there any need to hear it some more? Are you doing it just to build a “brand”? Are you thoughtful with how you approach projects or content? Do you really love to do it, or do you feel pressure to do it? These are the things I would ask myself. Rabbit holes…... In any case, with lesser cost, lesser risks, better fidelity, and more access comes saturation. Inevitably. Right, so tons of drummers are doing this. Some content looks great, some don’t. Some stuff sounds great, some don’t. Some lessons simply contain better information than others. But you know what it all has in common? I’ve seen it all thousands of times and I am bored now. I’m not suggesting that it needs to go away either. The great content, is great content! Keep that going for as long as possible. It needs to exist for drummers, of course, but when you combine all of what is out there….like I mean ALL of it! I am sorry folks but is it really needed? The information coming into our phones and other devices are cruising along at overdose levels. I am not sure it is a good thing. Another angle to approach this is due to the fact that most of this content exists through social media and its design. So the question is whether or not we are attracted to our addictions or sharing great information? It is a blurry line if we really get real with ourselves. Likes, comments, more followers. All of it feeds the part of us that we associate with progress and esteem. And humans are drawn to progress and esteem...just look at the huge leaps forward as a species. That is a whole other kettle of fish that I may tackle another day but for now, let us all agree that we have come along way since we were banging rocks together and pounding our chests. Point is, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and whatever else is out there, is meant to draw us in and keep us living there. It is up to our own discretion and discipline to monitor ourselves and maintain a healthy level of usage. This awareness ties in with my own abuse of social media, all with the notion that because I was growing a podcast, more metrics meant more growth. I felt that investing in the platform is a wise decision in order to scale my show. But ya know what? This show doesn’t actually grow much from social media. “But how is that Seamus!?”, you might be asking. Well, it is because people are on social media to be on social media. Not to find podcasts. That’s what Google’s for. Side note: shares from super powerful and influential people/organizations on social media does help...a lot. But I am talking about, in my own experience, how the level of input vs output is disproportionate. However, with continued, regular investment, you will be on the minds of drummers/potential listeners and perhaps one day they may feel inclined to listen to a drumming podcast, and yours may be the one they choose. Also, you can easily create good relationships with people. This may have to be another blog at some point because there is something big to that. A subject that I find fascinating where people become currency to you…. SO! I know I am digressing here but there is a point to this, trust me. I want this podcast to be what connects me to you. E-mails FTW! (hit me up at Seamus@drumeo.com if you want to share your drum story or anything you want to be heard by someone). That is what I would like with listeners over any like, any share, or any comment on socials. I like one on one interaction and preferably off social media. So I encourage everyone to reach me by email, please. The Glue That Holds It All Together Rob possesses what I admire in people. Honest to goodness passion and love for something. Anyone who has that superpower is my friend, even if we haven’t met yet. But it is the love for what he does that keeps him fired up about working on Hudson Music all these years after having started it. This kind of testimony is what makes me excited because what I feel is a total obsession and interest in what I do. I just want to make the next thing, after the next thing. And that is exactly what Rob has done over the years. He expresses his connection to the instrument, and how the connection occurs off the kit as well. Drumming is a community. It is music and art as well, obviously, but on the grander scale, it is and should always be about community. One person’s success is a victory for the community and so we should encourage each other, not compete. We should share ideas and philosophies to help each other grow and become stronger. That has become a larger purpose for this podcast as time has gone on and the show’s level of reach and impact have evolved. So as a sidebar, thank you, everyone, who comes here for their dose of a realistic, honest, well-intentioned, open forum. Something that I want to drive home…. I believe that when you have integrity, like Rob, you produce the results required for something to survive and hopefully thrive. Ups and downs will always come and go, but long term success is really about devotion. Because Rob treated his career more like an adventure, he managed to gain many fantastic personal life experiences that he can call his own. He made something out of nothing and nearly 40 years later he is still evolving by means of autobiographical book publishing; And he is super proud of it, as he describes “the spine facing out and everything”. He crossed paths with the amazing ****SPOILER ALERT****...(clears throat) Mr. Marlon Brando by happenstance at a red light in Harlem! The story goes that Rob had randomly stumbled across Paul Siegel driving some 20 minutes after they had separated at a red light. Paul’s passenger yells to Rob, “Hey, the phone is for you!”....and it was the Godfather!! Yeah, just unreal shit. Entrepreneurialism It was a big topic in the episode towards the end and I have some more thoughts about it. Listen to the episode before you continue reading. Do you think it is better to be an entrepreneur than not? If so, why? What is an entrepreneur today? Is a loose term these days? I mean….you can’t actually be one without risking money, right? And #sorrynotsorry, social media accounts with nice content isn’t a business. But here is the thing, I feel like too many people are telling us to be an entrepreneur. Are people becoming guilty because they work for someone? Is life nothing more than a series of daydreams about becoming something you aren’t yet? Do we focus too much on trying to become something greater than we feel we really are online? Are we becoming numb to motivation and inspiration because we hear it all the fucking time? Rehashed messages with similar lingo, that I attempt to avoid but sometimes step on those landmines, that mean almost nothing anymore? What do you really want? Yeah, you! There are countless messages of motivation, inspiration, dedication...it is basically the fucking “ation” nation hahaha. Like c’ mon man, do I really need to be motivated on social media? Chances are I am not going to do what the content was intended to “inspire” me to do in the first place. I get it though, that type of shit pings off of you and you get a little jolt of something. But then you probably swipe to the next thing. At the end of the day, it is just you staring at your phone. Imagine a third person version of you looking at you, looking at your phone while you read a motivating thing on Instagram. Is that scenario all that motivating? Personally, I love the idea that you are reading this on your laptop or iPad with a whiskey, alone, at night, uninterrupted, in a peaceful environment listening to Brian Eno “Music for Airports” 1/1. But you might just be on the shitter at work on your lunch break and you were done pooping five minutes ago. I dunno, a man can dream, right? What I am getting at is that if you watch a particular video on YouTube every morning at 4 AM before you “rise and grind” and it actually helps you “crush” the day; then I guess that’s fuckin “lit” bruh. But if you are just reading that shit and not doing anything about it, then be WOKE! Man, I keep getting off topic. I apologize for that... Anyways, the reason I asked Rob what he thinks about the projection of what is out there is because he is of a generation that largely lived without this technology and was a proper entrepreneur. And so what does he think is good for people? It is simple. It is the non-digital, human stuff that makes life interesting and fun. He figures if you make money at something, you should appreciate that. If you don’t dig it, quit and move onto something else. Inject your passions into your life. Find out what they are. It is important to have things in your life for you, and you only. That is the essence of honoring yourself. And even though Rob claimed that parts of the interview were challenging, I think our conversation brought out a moment for him that he won’t soon forget, and that is what it is all about folks. Make An Impact! That is my advice to you. Make impactful things. Do what really matters to you. It becomes honest that way, and when it is honest work that you produce, it succeeds over time. But you have to have passion and vision to see the long term destination. It is having a vision that keeps your momentum on a high note. And the beauty of it all is that wherever you stop along the way is either, not up to you, or you managed to put yourself in the right place at the right time with intent. But your effort will, at some point, lead you to those places that your heart wants. You also don’t need to go searching for it every time. Sometimes things intersect your path instead. This notion that you can “take what you want” is too forceful and fiercely focused on what you think you desire, in my opinion. Why not let go some? Let your focus be on your passion and work ethic. Your devotion to your craft. Maybe there is fortune along that path as well. I am willing to bet that there is. I hope that you enjoyed the podcast episode and took a moment to read this blog.

In episode 62 of The Electric Shadows Podcast we reach the final part of our Night of the Living Dead trilogy. Recorded six hours into an eight hour podcasting marathon, this episode sees our intrepid casters in pod Rob Daniel, Rob Wallis and Ian Bird ever-so slightly punchy. But, despite the whiff of mania that had descended by that point, the daring trio managed to stay on point. Romero's second zombie trilogy, Land of…, Diary of… and Survival of the Dead all get their day in court. Surprising to everyone is how much stronger trilogy number two now seems when compared to first release. Although Ian Bird has a dislike for Diary of the Dead he is not shy in sharing… The discussion also covers Romero's career between his two zombie trilogies, the now-classic Shaun of the Dead, Zack Snyder's not-so-classic Dawn of the Dead remake (which was still successful enough to give Romero Land of the Dead), The Walking Dead and recent zombie fare. Mention also to the sad passing of Joe Pilato, who died three days after we released episode 59, which covered Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead. His Captain Rhodes is one of horror cinema's most memorable villains, and a performance to be relished over and over. We salute him. Check out episodes 53 and 59 for the first two parts of our Night of the Living Dead series. So, hurry up and slip those headphones on. You've got to the count of five and that's two ya wasted…

The Electric Shadows Podcast reaches its 60th episode! To celebrate Robs Daniel and Wallis cram in discussions of four releases. First up, DC's Shazam! Has the (justice) beleaguered studio finally cracked the code for how they can make superhero films to rival those over at Marvel? The Robs swoop down to deliver their verdict. They also dig deep into sour ground to ruminate on the latest adaptation of Pet Sematary. Based on the bonkers 1983 Stephen King bestseller, this version features Jason Clarke as the doctor who discovers he has worse things than overly acidic soil on his land. Our intrepid casters in pod reveal why this horror is plagued with unintentional giggles. Then onto Jordan Peele's Us, a superior slice of shiversome entertainment, though not also without issues. Saving the least for last, Rob Wallis explains why, though Tim Burton's Dumbo may be twice the length of the original animated version, it's no classic. As always, thanks for taking the time to listen. If you want to leave a comment, review, request, appeal for sanity, please feel free to do so. Until next time, Shazam!
Episode 58 of The Electric Shadows Podcast sees Robs Daniel & Wallis delivering their verdict on Captain Marvel. Is it indeed Marvel-lous? Or does the cookie cutter filmmaking bite deep? We won't spoil the surprises, but let's just say Brie Larson delivers one of the liveliest performances in the MCU. The Robs also ponder why it has taken so long for Marvel to deliver a female-led superhero movie, what might be next, and go off on one or two tangents about other franchises. Yes, DC is mentioned. Rob Daniel also reasons why Ant-Man and The Wasp is a more satisfying movie than Avengers: Infinity War, but admits Captain Marvel has got him finally excited for Endgame. Rob Wallis attempts to hide his contempt at Rob D's efforts to rehabilitate the critical reputation of the (sorely) maligned Ant-Man and The Wasp. The ramblings all make sense in the end.
To mark the 50th anniversary of Night of the Living Dead, The Electric Shadows podcast looks back at the brilliance and influence of George A. Romero's horror masterpiece. The film that invented the modern horror film, we look at what made it so radical back in 1968, a year riven with civil riots violence, assassinations and the Vietnam quagmire. We look at why it has endured, and the copyright foul-ups that inadvertently lit the fuse for zombie apocalypse tales that would explode some forty years later when The Walking Dead became a phenomenon. Romero's early career in advertising and directing inserts for Mr Roger's Neighborhood. The influence of Richard Matheson's I Am Legend on Romero's fiendishly fine tale of murder and mayhem. The fact that the first zombie in Night of the Living Dead is a running zombie! And also that Romero never thought of his undead flesh-eaters as zombies, naming them ghouls for his directorial debut. How the filmmakers made a virtue out of budgetary adversity by using old fashioned ingenuity. Travellers in pod Rob Daniel, Rob Wallis and special guest Ian Bird also make room for a mouthwatering discussion of cannibalism. So, lock the doors, sit back, try to relax and listen. We'll be right back, we've got to go get Johnny.
In Episode 51 of The Electric Shadows Podcast, Robs Daniel & Wallis looks back at the movies that impressed them at the 2018 BFI London Film Festival. Rob Daniel valiantly battles through a heavy cold to impart his movie opinion. Rob Wallis, being younger and of a generally tougher constitution, is on finer form. Movies discussed range from the thrilling (Widows, Suspiria), to the moving (If Beale Street Could Talk, They Shall Not Grow Old) to the plain batsh*t crazy (Sorry To Bother You, In Fabric, Mandy). The Robs reveal what their two fave films of the festival were, plus the one true stinker they both endured. What to know what these films are? Listen on...
Episode 49 is a bumper edition of The Electric Shadows Podcast. Robs Daniel and Wallis round-up FrightFest 2018; Rob D waxes enthusiastic about Pascal Laugier's Incident in a Ghostland and Rob Wallis is impressed with Gaspar Noe's Climax. As this is the first podcast since July, the pair capsule review Spike Lee's excellent BlackkKlansman, they differ over Ant-Man and the Wasp, and Rob W reveals what he thought of The Meg, The Children's Act, Christopher Robin and more. Then onto the main course, as the Robs reveal what is getting them excited about this year's BFI London Film Festival. Widows, Roma, Suspiria (Rob D is worried about this one), In Fabric, The Favourite, If Beale Street Could Talk, The Man Who Killed Don Quixote and more. Find out why they are excited right here. And see you next episode for the 50th instalment of The Electric Shadows Podcast!
Episode 45 of The Electric Shadows Podcast sees Robs Daniel & Wallis with meat between their teeth as they get stuck into Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. The intrepid explorers discuss the original Jurassic Park, and the issues facing all the sequels. Where does this latest Jurassic outing lie amidst the sequels in their view? You'll have to listen to find out. And, along the way you can hear them take chunks out of each other as they debate whether genetic engineering is wise. Rob Wallis errs on the side of caution; Rob Daniel is a bold visionary excited by the places scientific endeavours could take us. Rob D did also pen this blurb, Plus, as Die Hard is nearing celebrating its 30 year anniversary, they kick off the podcast discussing why it remains one of the best action films ever made. So, put you feet up and listen to a T-Rexcellent episode.
Episode 39 of The Electric Shadows Podcast is the agony and the ecstasy. The agony comes from Rob Daniel, who talks (at length) about his ongoing recuperation following surgery after a particularly non-heroic "sports injury". The ecstasy comes Rob Wallis, who, being sound of body was able to see Black Panther - aka Contender for the Biggest Film of 2018, aka Contender for the Most Culturally Significant Film of 2018, aka The Film You Really Should Have Seen By Now. So Rob W lets Rob D know about all the good stuff he has been missing. Rob D bravely listens without sounding too despondent. Our intrepid casters in pod then tackle a brace of disappointing Netflix sigh-fi efforts: Mute and The Cloverfield Paradox. Rob W remembers the time Mute director Duncan Jones praised him for his geek knowledge in a Director's Q&A, and both Robs recall how wonderful Moon is. Amidst all this banter, there is room for a cameo appearance from Rob D's flatmate, Michael, whose severe cold means background coughing makes a fleeting appearance. He also chips in some real words.
Time to say goodbye to Twelve, as the clock strikes Thirteen. Christmas may be over, the New Year has arrived, but there's one last bit of 2017 left to talk about.

In episode 33 of The Electric Shadows Podcast, Robs Daniel & Wallis take a look at Justice League. And, you know what? They find stuff to like in there! Sure, it's a mess and clearly the work of two different people. But, it's entertaining and works to right the wrongs of Batman v Superman. Rob Wallis comes up with a perfect classroom analogy for the current output from Marvel and DC. They also get a chance to do some voice work when discussing a little shonky CGI that was required on a particular cast member. They also still have issues with Wonder Woman sitting out World War Two, despite this film trying to retcon her absence. So, lots to go through. Shall we begin?
The Electric Shadows Podcast reaches its 30th episode! To mark this milestone occasion, Robs Daniel & Wallis run through a frightfully good collection of cinematic horror happenings. Rob Daniel delivers his round-up of FrightFest 2017, which occurred over the August Bank Holiday weekend. Both Robs give their verdict on the big screen adaptation of Stephen King's IT. Plus, their views on clowns in general. Rob Wallis saw The Dark Tower so you don't have to. He explains why, and we think you'll be sold on his damning verdict. The two Robs then run through the Stephen King on Screen season running at the BFI Southbank throughout September until the 3rd October. More information on that can be found here. https://whatson.bfi.org.uk/Online/default.asp?BOparam::WScontent::loadArticle::permalink=stephenking&BOparam::WScontent::loadArticle::context_id= Finally, Rob Daniel recounts Darren Aronofsky's mad, memorable, impressive new movie, Mother!, starring Jennifer Lawrence and Javier Bardem. Phew! A bumper edition... so stoke the fire, pour a stiff brandy, pull the curtains tightly closed and let us take you to some dark places...
In episode 29 of The Electric Shadows Podcast, Robs Daniel & Wallis explain why Atomic Blonde ultimately fails to detonate and why you should check out the monstrously fun Shin Godzilla. Time is also made for Rob Wallis to outline again to Rob Daniel why he really doesn't need to bother seeing Valerian and they both discuss why a gay love scene in the next James Bond would be a good thing.
Episode 28 of The Electric Shadows Podcast is a special edition as Robs Daniel & Wallis dive into the small screen for a Doctor Who discussion. Chiefly about the casting of Jodie Whittaker as the 13th Doctor Who, the first time a woman will have played the beloved character. The two Robs give their take on why something this radical had to happen, why it is bizarre this is seen as radical at all, and the depressingly inevitable internet backlash against the decision. Doctor Who expert Rob Wallis provides the knowledge, Rob Daniel is the companion (probably Adric or K-9). And, we know, we're late to the party on this one. But, a time vortex pulled us in and we've only just emerged. I.e. - work and diary commitments got in the way. We'll be more punctual with our review of the Christmas episode, when we should see Whittaker's first few moments as Doctor Who...

Six months in the making (partially due to the epic length, partially due to Rob D's inability to get his act together and edit it), episode 25 of The Electric Shadows Podcast is a special looking at Oliver Stone's 1991 classic, JFK. Over an epic running time almost matching the duration of the film itself, Rob Daniel, Rob Wallis and special guest Ian Bird dissect the merits and legacy of Stone's controversial movie. They also look at the assassination itself, plus it's impact on popular culture, including the flawed, truth-seeking hero, that eventually led to Warner Bros. bankrolling the movie. Our intrepid investigators also come up with a new conspiracy theory involving a beloved 1980s filmmaker and a Batman villian. While making room for such pop JFK references as the film Executive Action and that episode of Quantum Leap. They also can't help liberally quoting the movie's chewable dialogue. It's a big listen for a big film. We like to think it offers some interesting new perspectives on the film, or at least a couple of laughs. Not least at that opening stab at an American accent… So, pop in your headphones and prepare to go back… and to the left.
In ep 24 Rob Daniel & Rob Wallis take a flying visit to the Caribbean before taking on Tom Cruise's The Mummy. The best thing they have to say is that it doesn't endorse Donald Trump's immigrant ban. Wonder Woman is the film of the podcast - and makes The Mummy look even worse by comparison. Rob Wallis gives his verdict on Transformers: The Last Knight... will this transform his low opinions of the previous films? It's a packed episode, dive in!
In Episode 23 of The Electric Shadows Podcast, the generation gap rears its head. Rob Wallis quite likes Alien: Covenant and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2.

R&R also discuss audience members who cannot control themselves over Baby Groot, and somehow get onto the films of Christopher Nolan.
