S4, E18: HOLLYWOOD & ME AGAINST THE MUSIC
Mark and Kenny share their dabblings with Los Angeles, including bungalows, storage units, and random star sightings while discussing the cautionary second song (and second single!) from American Life. Topics include Lisa Cholodenko, Hole, Velvet Underground, the influence of film noir on Madonna, Oscar parties, Debra Winger, Jean-Baptiste Mondino, Guy Bourdin, David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive and Naomi Watts, Michael Haneke, performance doubles, Debbie Harry and BLOW-UP, and that notorious MTV Music Awards performance with Missy Elliott, Christina Aguilera, and Miss Britney Spears. And a meeting of pop icons on “Me Against the Music” and Madonna’s back to hitch-hiking. Plus, REMIXES (released and unreleased) FOR DAYS, Kenny chases Britney to Vegas, and Mark gets to share a long-gestating riff on Rosanna Arquette. Stretch out, kids, and trip the station, change the channel!
