Hey there, DTD-ers! We've got a fun one for you this week. And by that we mean our episode, not the movie. The movie is HYPE and it's about grunge. OOF! But don't fret; as you know, from pain comes great art. So here at DTD headquarters we have been working hard on a new play to commemorate and elevate this painful experience. Here's a bit from the third act, for your enjoyment.
Pete: Grunge. Do you know what Grunge is? It's the thousand flannels of Cobain's enemies, a story we agree to tell each other over and over, until we forget that it's a lie.
Geoff: But what do we have left, once we abandon the lie? Chaos? A gaping pit waiting to swallow us all.
Matt: Chaos isn't a pit. It's a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb. They refuse, they cling to the realm or the gods of classic rock or punk. Illusions. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.
Sounds awesome, right? So go ahead and give it a listen NOW!!! -
Glad tidings, DTD-heads! It's. Really. Happening. We're wrapping up our PISTOL-watch with a special double-stuffed episode in which we discuss "tracks" 5 and 6. It's very exciting -- so much so that we understand you might have a hard time handling the news. In fact, we heard a rumor that Queen Elizabeth (who's been a fan ever since we started the PISTOL recaps) was so surprised that she literally dropped dead!!! Unfortunately, we have no way to verify the rumor. Nevertheless, it's a fun episode: we play some games, we reminisce on our favorite memories from classic PISTOL episodes, we get a little Q-Anon-y with it, and (spoiler alert) some of us even come all the way around on the show. It's a real late summer/early fall miracle. But we don't want to say which of us comes around. Or why he/they come around. And we definitely don't want to say how the rest of us respond to that "who" and that "why." We want you to experience us for yourself, in all our glorious we-ness. So what are you waiting for?! Pull the trigger (metaphorically speaking, or course) and start listening NOW!

Quoi de neuf, DTD-ers! This week, we're coming at you paradox style! And that means 1) we feature Tim Irwin's WE JAM ECONO 2) in a conversation that is orchestrated by our own Matt Truffaut. But how can this be? How can we mix the MINUTEMEN'S working class punk jams with Mr. Truffaut's aesthetic elitism? The answer: carefully! The other answer: we see no conflict between the MINUTEMEN'S blue collar body music and Matt's super sophisticated editorial choices. Wait? What? Why? How? Bc we know that class doesn't determine quality, and vice versa. That's why we called this episode a paradox, and not a contradiction. See! You're getting it! Just take baby steps and forgive yourself when you make mistakes. When things get confusing, just remember: listen to this episode. NOW!

Hey there, DTD-ers! As you're probably already aware, this is a PISTOL week. There's nothing else we can really say about that. These are the circumstances that we all -- you, the listener, and us, the hosts -- find ourselves in. And remember, this is our collective choice, which means that the effort to get through the entire PISTOL series remains, if nothing else, a testament to our shared strength and commitment. We praise you for that, dear listeners, although we, here at DTD home base, have to admit that our resolve is weakening, and we might be cracking up. Lo! It is in times like these that we return to the poets to remind us of the strength that we can muster:
"Faith, you know you're gonna live through the rain/ Lord, you got to keep the faith/ Faith, don't you let your love turn to hate/ Right now we've got to keep the faith/ Faith, keep the faith, keep the faith/ Try to hold on, trying to hold on/ Yeah" - John Francis Bongiovi, Jr. -
How goes there, DTD-ers? This is a good week. For one, we are NOT discussing an episode of Pistol. Second, and more importantly, we have the opportunity to discuss Kevin Egan's WHAT AWAITS US: A BEYIND STORY, which is - pleasant surprise - NOT about the vegetarian meat substitute, and is instead about his legendary hardcore band, BEYOND. The film is more than that, too, although we're not gonna tell you what that "more" is; the only way you're gonna find out is to listen to the episode (and, of course, watch Egan's film). And while we're on the topic of telling you about things that we aren't telling you about because we want you to listen to the episode, let us also not tell you to keep listening AFTER the outro to hear additional, secret content. That's right, we're not saying anything! You're gonna have to listen for yourself to discover that we talk (for too long!) about a recent, and kind of silly, Brooklyn Vegan article. So you should just DO THE WORK! NOW!

Hey there DTD-heads. If you can hear this, there may still be time. Please help us. We've fallen into a Pistol pit, and we can't get out. At first, we thought someone might come and find us, and help us out. But it's been three episodes now, and we're starting to feel like this is our fate. The nights are so cold! The story is so uninteresting! There doesn't even seem to be any point to it all! H! E! L! P! All that said, Matt does seem to be coming around on the series, so the candle of hope still burns. But is that hope for naught? Is it all just a Little Match Girl kinda sitch? Listen NOW to find out! What are you waiting for?!?!?!

Welcome back DTDers! This week, we’ve got some bad news/good news for you. The bad news first: we’re not giving you another PISTOL recap… yet. The good news: we’re discussing the only thing that might be more punk than PISTOL — that’s right, it’s BAND IN DC, the Bad Brains documentary. We know we say this often, but this doc is a really good one. Maybe one of the best. But then why doesn't pitchfork, entertainment weekly, or the nytimes have it in their top 10 punk docs lists? Good question. It’s an issue we address in the ep, along with a number of other pressing concerns. But we‘re not giving ANYTHING else away. You gotta strap on your motorcycle helmet, sit down calmly on your couch, press play on the play icon on your favorite podcast provider, and FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF!

Fair warning, DTD-ers: "lasciate ogne speranza voi ch'intrate." And you know what that means; we're picking up where we left off with the Danny Boyle directed Sex Pistols mini-series, PISTOL. This week, we discuss "track" 2, and (SPOILER ALERT) we don't think it's very good -- although Matt might be coming around on the show. In any event, just because the show doesn't rock, doesn't mean we can't! In other words, this episode of DTD shreds! We brutaly riff on not just PISTOL, but also on pop punk cover bands, our favorite new game show ("Is it Punk?"), pop punk cover bands, what counts as exceptional dialogue, and pop punk cover bands. So what are you waiting for?! You've heard the rest, NOW listen to the best. That's us, btw.

Hey there, DTD-ers! We've got a news flash for you, apparently: DTD now stands or Descendants Till Death, apparently. "Why is that?", you ask. Well, we'll tell you why -- because for this episode, we have the pleasure of talking to Justin Wilson, who is part of the braintrust behind the Descendants/All documentary FILMAGE, which we discussed last week. But Justin doesn't just talk about the movie; we also talk about what it takes to get a punk doc off the ground, Justin's other punk projects (including A Fat Wreck), and -- of course -- pizza delivery punk! It's a good one, so give it a listen now, and make sure to listen all the way through to the end to HEAR THE DOCS TILL DEATH CREW LIKE YOU'VE NEVER HEARD US BEFORE!
For more FILMAGE (including a bonus bonus feature comprised of an additional 50 minutes of Descendants/All footage), check out the movie's site: https://filmagemovie.com . -
Welcome home, DTD-ers! This week we're back with a movie that might best be described as a comfort watch: Matt Riggle and Deedle LaCour's FILMAGE: THE STORY OF THE DESCENDENTS/ALL. It's a good one... although we came to that realization only after collectively overcoming the disappointment of this not being a movie about the children of famous Disney villains. So if you want to hear a moving story of our growth and acceptance of this Descendents movie for what it is, give the episode a listen NOW! And even if you don't want your heartstrings pulled, give the episode a listen NOW! If not for yourself, do it for all the Pizza Delivery Punks out there!

Gu-day DTDers! We're so glad you're here, because THIS is THE one that all you true punks out there have been waiting for! That's right, this week, we discuss the pluralization of proper nouns!!! We know, it's heady stuff; but all of us at DTD headquarters felt it was a conversation that needed to happen, and we're proud of the result. Through open dialogue, we tore down walls and build bonds of friendship. And, oh yeah, we also talk about the first episode of the Danny Boyle directed miniseries "PISTOL," an adaptation of Steven Jones' memoir about his time with the Sex Pistols, "Lonely Boy." And all of that is just a long way to say that if you're excited by the idea of Chrissie Hynde singing along to Otis Redding on a jukebox draped in bondage gear, then THIS is THE episode for YOU! So don't delay, press play! That's what I say! OK?

(Gabba Gabba) Hey there DTD-heads! We know you love punk, and we also know that you're kinda into being sad, so this week, we've got a real big treat for you!! That's right, you guessed it; we're discussing Michael Gramaglia and Jim Fields' End of the Century: The Story of the Ramones -- a thoroughly depressing (and inspiring?) look at what you can achieve if you fully commit to emotional avoidance. Yeah, the movie's pretty heavy; but as usual, we're a laugh riot. So 1) shut off that ironic pro-America playlist you've been working on for the 4th of July party you're hosting tonight, 2) press play on this bad boy NOW, and then, later tonight, after you've finished the episode and the party is in full swing 3) have all your guests light a sparkler for Joey.

WHAT'S! UP! DOC! HEADS!?! We're so happy to be back, bringing you our trademark mixture of encyclopedic punk knowledge and high-minded film criticism. But you're gonna have to wait until next week for all that, because this week, it's our end of season 2 recap. Or is it our beginning of season 3 promo? Whatever the case may be, you know what we're talking about: it's the Grohlies, baby!!!! That's right, all the notable players in punk and hardcore filmmaking have come out for one special episode to celebrate last season's finest achievements. And unlike the Oscars, which are weighed down by Hollyweird's corporate elite, The Grohlies trim the fat and get right to it. This award show is definitely not 50% advertisements (for very real products)! So press play, already!!!! What are you waiting for, punk?!

Thank you for making the trip to visit us, DTD-ers! And as you might have guessed, since we've all gathered here on the lanai, this week we've taken a trip to SUBURBIA, Penelope Spheeris' first narrative feature, and her second film overall (following her seminal DECLINE OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION). What is there to say about this movie that hasn't already been written by underpaid and overworked Ivy and near-Ivy grads who work at Vice and similar publications? Not much. But we've gone ahead and said it all again, and better. And with more allusions to Wesley Snipes. So we've at least got that going for us. You, on the other hand, have nothing going for you (which we mean in the nicest, most punk-affirming way!), so you should probably start listening to this episode NOW! But proceed with caution. And keep up your guard. SUBURBIA's punkness attacks when you least expect it, in unexpected ways. Don't forget: SUBURBIA is an address that changes all the rules.

Hey there, DTD-heads! This week we discuss the CRASS episode of Bryan Ray Turcotte and Bo Bushnell's excellent THE ART OF PUNK web series. And we do, indeed, discuss CRASS; maybe not as much as we discuss the RHCP (spoiler alert), but we certainly mention CRASS long enough for Matt to repeatedly mispronounce the name of one of the band members. Unbelievable. Unforgivable. Unacceptable. So he's out. We punk-cancelled him. Nevertheless, we wish him all the best in his future endeavors, which his publicist has just informed us is a new podcast, called "Reject of Society," co-hosted by Matt and Joe Rogan. Be on the lookout for it in a few weeks. In the meantime, go ahead and give a listen to the latest and greatest episode of DTD, which has an exclusive conversation that you won't hear on any other podcast!

Welcome home, DTD-ers! This week, we are discussing Mark Christopher Covino and Jeff Howlett's 2012 classic, A BAND CALLED DEATH. And before we say anything about the film, the DTD crew needs to address an apparent misunderstanding. In the two weeks since we announced that we'd be watching the "Death movie," we've received over 50,000 concerned texts/calls/messages from listeners, like yourself, most of whom assumed that this was to be our last episode. From what we can gather, it seems that many of you read a little too much into our name; the "Death" in our name does not now -- and never has -- referred to the proto-punk band from Detroit (or the Death Metal band from Florida, for that matter). Put simply, DOCS TILL DEATH will continue covering DOCS AFTER "DEATH". We have no intentions of ceasing to producing Poland's #6 music podcast. Hopefully, this clarification eases your troubled minds. Now that that's settled, give the episode a listen: find out which one of us thinks this film is his fav movie doc, which one of us loves Light in the Attic records, and which one of us has been guzzling hot milk before getting on mic. The answers will SHOCK you.

What's up, true believers!? This week the DTD crew is back with something very special. Is it a minisode in which we pay homage to the Doughboys podcast by discussing KFC's new Beyond Chicken "nuggets"? Or, is it a spin-off show that amounts to another step forward in our play for global podcast dominance? You decide. Aaaaanywaaaay... this is a real good one! Better than the KFC Beyond Chicken? Again, you decide. Should you stop whatever you're currently doing and listen to the episode NOW so that you can decide for yourself? Well, in regards to that last question, WE decide for YOU. And the answer is YES. H, e, double hockey sticks, YES!

Greetings DTD-ers! You ARE in the right place! Please don't let the subject of today's episode confuse you. This is still Docs Till Death, and it's still THE premiere punk podcast; however, with this episode, we've decided to spread our wings (in a no-growth, immature kind of way) and pay a visit to metal, punk's cousin on its father's side. That's right! We're discussing SOME KIND OF MONSTER, Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky's 2004 Metallica documentary. And to commemorate this groundbreaking DTD episode, we're sharing a little poem we wrote about the experience of listening to this very special "crossover" episode:
Listen and you will see
More is all you need
Dedicated to
Entertaining you
Downloading faster
Uncontrolled laughter
Your heart beats faster
Uncontrolled laughter
Laughter
Sounds fun, right!? So listen NOW and obey your laughter! -
Happy MLK Day, DTD-ers! Since many of you have the day off of work and nothing to do, we decided that we'd release a very good minisode. That's why we're discussing the DEAD KENNEDYS episode of Bryan Ray Turcotte and Bo Bushnell's terrific THE ART OF PUNK web series. As a faithful DTD-er who's listened to our discussion of the BLACK FLAG episode of THE ART OF PUNK, you already know that we're big fans of the series -- and that we're not poseurs. We do real punk stuff. Like all the time (never mind that Pete's primary exposure to the DEAD KENNEDYS was through the Tony Hawk video game). And we want you to do real punk stuff, too. That's why we think that if your job is requiring you to go to work on MLK Day, you might want call in sick. Listen: if you're not providing an essential service (and maybe even if you are), your boss might be a racist and/or extracting surplus value like a vampire. Not good in either case, friend. So call in and spend the day listening to this episode and any back episodes of DTD that you might have missed. You deserve it!

How goes it, Docs Till Death-ers?! This week, the crew discusses Dave Markey's film from 1992 called 1991: THE YEAR THAT PUNK BROKE. We gotta admit, we're a little confused, so we're glad that Thirstin' More could be on hand to serve as spiritual guide, educating us in the ways of the grunge. The film is a riveting snapshot of "alternative" music in the moments before that music, and Nirvana in particular, would achieve immense global success -- which in turn, would lead to seismic shifts in the music industry and in culture, more broadly. Plus, the movie also features one (maybe two) decent bands. Maybe two and a half. In any event, we sort it all out on the pod, so give it a listen. And fair warning: this one's a hot take special!
