10 - Dick Griffin Wants His MTV! With Matt Jatkola and JP DiSciscio

Bye Bye Celluloid

Who is Dick Griffin, you ask? Before you give this episode a listen, head to YouTube and watch the music video “Don’t Come Knockin’” by JATK (pronounced “Jack”). You’ll want to hear more from the band, and you’ll wonder why a video that looks like it was recorded forty years ago on a well-worn videotape would be making its debut online in 2023. Don’t worry—this episode of BYE BYE CELLULOID’s got you covered. Guests MATT JATKOLA (frontman of JATK) and JP DISCISCIO (director, Overdue Films; back for his third appearance) are on hand to discuss the ingenious creative process behind the “Don’t Come Knockin’” music video, from concept to execution. You’ll also hear the inspiring origin story of the JATK project, and the history of Matt and JP’s music video collaborations. And you might even learn who Dick Griffin REALLY is.

As an added bonus, Matt, JP and I have put together lists of our favorite music videos. These were going to be a part of the episode itself, but we were barely able to start discussing our picks before we ran out of time. Instead, you can see our lists in full with some additional commentary at https://byebyecelluloid.wordpress.com/ep-10-extra-jatk-overdue-films-bye-bye-celluloid-pick-their-favorite-music-videos/(opens in a new tab)
