#37 Lordz of Dogtown

Vent City

What do we say at the beginning of these things again? Oh yeah, WHAT'S UP, Skaters?! On this episode we discuss the skateboarding film Lords of Dogtown (no Z). Kyle Beachy (book author), Ted Schmitz (show notes author), and Tim Ward (not at all an author, but he's on another podcast, so that counts for something?) look at the the general failing of skate films by taking apart the characters and story presented in this strange studio feature. How it got made, we may never know, but maybe there was a market maybe? If you liked the film, that's fine; it's good to have joy where you can. We, however, did not enjoy it. And you can hear all about it. We don't really do the timecode thing, but maybe it'll help guide you through this one: 00:00:00 - Cold Open (we do these instead of skits because, the skits weren't funny and they took too long) 00:00:30 - Cold open ends and we hear a nice intro song by Roar 00:01:00 - Introducing the podcast cast 00:04:00 - Introducing the film cast.
