Ep 28 - Ladies & Gentlemen... The Fabulous Stains w/ Katie Rife

The Generation Splice

This week we don’t put out! Well actually, were putting out a podcast about LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… THE FABULOUS STAINS with A/V Club writer Katie Rife. Katie talks about STAINS being a once lost movie – its a secret handshake. There’s chatting about how this influenced the Riot Grrrl movement in punk. How popular would this have been if it had a bigger release? Did it need to be a cult film to have its powerful influence? Lots of talk about producer Lou Adler. Is this where The White Stripes got their band name? Everyone has a hard time pinning down which character is the most cynical. And Raquel complains that the punk are too clean cut and that Miley Cyrus is just ripping off The Stains.

The Generation Splice is film podcast where retired psychologist Dr. Raquel Martinez, a Baby Boomer through and through, & her son Raphael Jose Martinez, a cranky millennial punk rocker/former music journalist, & current film writer, discuss various films through the lens of their generation & personal experiences. Every week one host picks a film to dissect & see if they can splice together the generation gap via their love of film.

The show is produced by The Martinez Family & the show’s theme song was written, performed, & produced by Raphael.
