  • American Groove - #82 Rocky Horror Revelations Show
    2024/11/05

    We embark on a nostalgic and journey to do the tiem warp with "The Rocky Horror Picture Show". Exploring why this cult classic continues to captivate audiences across the globe. Karissa and I discussed our first encounters with the film. Pointing out it's unique charm that demands group viewings rather than solo experiences. We laughed about the absurdity of the storyline. And how the film's community viewings turn into vibrant, interactive events.

    Of course we veer into a broader discussion. About the role of movies in cultural expression, and societal norms during the 1970s. We delved into how films like "The Rocky Horror Picture Show". Served as a subtle rebellion against societal constraints. Blending horror, comedy, and risqué elements to challenge, and entertain. Our chat is filled with personal stories, reflections on societal changes as well. And the celebration of the film's enduring impact on pop culture. Join us for this lively exploration of cinema's wild side, and the lasting appeal of a film that broke all the rules.

  • American Groove - #80 Politics, Porn, & Salami
    2024/10/25

    Delving into the complexities. Of car maintenance, and the hidden costs that surprises many vehicle owners. We shared our personal moments. It's about the unexpected expenses, like Dave's convertible tops and tire replacements. Illustrating the broader theme, of financial surprises in everyday life. Opening the discussion up to bigger societal and political reflections. Where we mix humor n' insight. Being french critique's for a moment. Hearing the political speeches, and the confusing repetitive banter. Often found in modern discourse, and holy shit the lizard people are real!

    We transitioned (the non trans type) from personal financial woes, and oh vey's. To a lively discussion on current political figures, always a blast. Enjoying a spirited debate on the impacts of political decisions on our daily life's. Throughout the ole' episode, the intercourse... I mean interplay between personal experiences, and broader societal issues. Invites all to reflect on how the personal is often political. Hey, were here to offer a perspective. Possibly an idea worth listening to, all you got do is sit back light it up, and get groove'n thru the experience.

  • American Groove - #77 The Earthworm Stoner
    2024/10/15

    We get into the bizarre phenomenon of songs that won’t leave your head. From Pump Up the Jam, Electric Avenue, and Buffalo Solider. We explored the strange ways music sticks with us and why certain tunes seem to haunt us for life. We also delved into the emotional triggers behind music. Discussing how certain melodies bring back memories or even offer healing. With plenty of bullshit about ringtones, musical nostalgia. The big question of Why Bob Marley’s songs are perfect for stoners? It’s a fun, musical ride that’ll keep you hooked from when you light down to the roach.

    But, as always, we shift gears, landing on the creative process itself. We share thoughts on how music ties into memory. The odd phenomenon of "brain tunnels". And how iconic artists like Billy Joel create magic that leaves a lasting mark on listeners. With the usual bullshit and unfiltered musings, you’re in for another wild ride. So roll one, hit play, and let's groove tonight!
