JulyDiaz 2797 Posted February 20, 2014 Allan Arkush is the director of The Ramones motion picture Rock ‘n’ Roll High School, Get Crazy, Heartbeeps, and much more. A true legend out of the Roger Corman school of filmmaking, he joins Jake to discuss how the 1964 Beatles’ film A Hard Day’s Night changed his life, to his unforgettable time working at the Fillmore East, to the bet that lead him to co-direct his first film Hollywood Boulevard, and why the Ramones were the perfect fit to his high school musical film.

paulo_one 17 Posted February 20, 2014 Brilliant. Entertainment history told by someone who lived it. This was one of the finest podcast interviews I have ever heard. Hope we get more from Allan. 1 Share this post Link to post
PuncturedJesus 354 Posted February 21, 2014 Also loved it. Great change of pace. I'd love it if you could book Joe Dante sometime. Share this post Link to post
LessPopMoreFizz 14 Posted February 21, 2014 I want to see the alternate universe version of Rock and Roll High School that gets made when Arkush decides to go with the record labels first suggestion and make the movie about DEVO. I have to imagine it would be the greatest movie of all time. 1 Share this post Link to post

I have to imagine it would be the greatest movie of all time. I'd also be curious what the movie would look like with early Van Halen as the stars. I'm sure David Lee Roth would have enraged everybody on set. Share this post Link to post
Quasar Sniffer 4174 Posted February 21, 2014 Van Halen stars as the jocks and Devo as the nerds, but they must put aside their petty differences and join forces to fight against the evil new administrator, Evelyn Togar! 1 Share this post Link to post
