When American Pie was released in the summer of 1999, movie theaters weren’t prepared for the onslaught of underage kids sneaking in to watch the raunchy sex jokes, gross stunts, and heartwarming friendships. The film was an instant hit among teens, because a movie FINALLY depicted how awkward it was to be a teenager learning how your body works – and how embarrassing it seemed for others to witness those lessons.

This week, we are talking about the beloved late 90s films American Pie 1 and 2 and how the series shaped the teen sex comedy for the future. So grab a pale ale and join us for an episode that is guaranteed to take you right back to the nostalgic days of Blink 182 and warm apple pie.

And if you create a Green Day/Blink 182 crossover cover band named Green 182, please let us know if you need a bassist or keyboardist, thanks.

In our humble punk rock opinion, Henry Rollins is one of the most prolific and inspiring artists of all time. Vocalist and frontman of Black Flag and the Rollins Band, actor, author, essayist, spoken word performer, activist – it would probably be easier to count how many artistic mediums he HASN’T tried. He had a wild 90s between being the first note of the first song of the first Lollapalooza in 1991, winning a Grammy in 1995, traveling to all seven continents and 92 countries, and writing books including one that would eventually become a sacred text for traveling musicians.

Oh, and also he was the ring bearer/best man at our wedding last year which is also pretty cool.

This week we will drop two sides to our interview/chat with Henry (okay, two parts – Side A and Side B) where we learn all about his early childhood music education and radical politicization, what the music scene was like in LA during the 80s and 90s, and so. much. more. So rise above, grab a six-pack, and settle in for the kind of stories and lessons that only Henry Rollins can give.
