This week Batesy spoils the surprise and immediately tells us we're talking about DENNIS QUAID - actor and Damn Good Christian, star of films including The Parent Trap, Frequency, A Dog's Purpose, The Right Stuff and many more. Join us as we all become Quaidophiles and listen to some good old American Rock. Also we talk about Randy Quaid and that insane sex tape.
This week Laurence brings us the surprisingly earnest music of writer, comedian and actor Tim Heidecker, star of Tim and Eric, Us, and the underrated fourth season of Eastbound and Down.
And we're back! This week the DQYDJ team evaluate the music of Arrested Development, Twin Peak, Superbad and Scott Pilgrim actor Michael Cera. Will Hollywood's favourite awkward teenager (now in his 30s) come through with the goods? Listen and find out!
This week Josh takes the intrepid hosts through the questionable musical oeuvre of Jeremy Renner, everybody's least favourite Avenger! Featuring the eagerly-awaited return of the segment HOW MANY GUYS CALLED JACK HAS THIS GUY PLAYED?
Performance Review is back! This week Batesy takes us on a trip to the zoo(lander) with Ben Stiller's '80s punk band Capital Punishment; once lost to the annals of time but recently revived with a promotional tour by the Stillman himself.
This week Laurence takes us on a mysterious and whimsical journey into the classical music stylings of Anthony Hopkins, noted thespian and cannibal. Did you know Anthony Hopkins only appeared on-screen for sixteen minutes of The Silence Of The Lambs? That's less than 14% of the overall screen-time. We can only assume he spent the rest of his time hanging out near craft services creeping out the crew. Special cameo appearance by the populist lord of Now That's What I Call Classical, Andre Rieu.
This week Josh takes us on a deep-dive into the varied and middling musical output of THE BACON BROTHERS, featuring everyone's favourite Hollow Man, Kevin Bacon! Tune in for our unfounded opinions, plus the introduction of two new segments: Half-Baked Movie Pitches and How Many Guys Called Jack Has This Guy Played?
Who you gonna call? Well if you need vodka, coneheads or frankly bonkers ghost-related conspiracy theories (as well as middling blues music), Dan Aykroyd of course! Blues Brother, Ghostbuster, Canadian: this week the crew at DQYDJ go deep on the revered Saturday Night Live alumni.
This week host Laurence brings us the enchantingly weird album of Tom Waits covers by none other than Hollywood's SCARLETT JOHANSSON. If you tire of our constant derision of these vanity musical projects, you're in for a treat (because this album is actually pretty great and deserves a listen).
Josh is by himself in the studio on a Sunday night- time to wax lyrical about the surprisingly passable musical work of would-be crooner and storied actor Joe Pesci (Goodfellas, Home Alone, Casino, Raging Bull, The Irishman).
Tea. Crumpets. Drinking water with a skin. The Queen (Elizabeth). Jammie Dodgers. Grey skies and brown waterways. What's more evocative of The Blues than Great Britain? This week Alisdair takes us through the cold, clinical New Orleans Blues of storied actor and all-around good guy Hugh Laurie.
This week on Performance Review: The B-Man brings us to the center of an unlikely venn diagram that converges at 60s instrumental jazz, NCIS and Nate Dogg.
This week the DQYDJ team wrestle with the moral conundrum that a Hollywood vanity project might actually be...okay? Like, obviously not great, but maybe...fine? We delve into the musical pursuits of Viggo Mortensen, real-life Hollywood renaissance man and frequent Buckethead collaborator, and his extremely large and intimidating...discography.
Performance Review is bite-sized DQYDJ portions served up every Monday. Today in Performance Review's first outing, Laurence brings us the heartwarming tale of Burt Reynolds' extremely brief musical career, as told by an unverified Youtube comment claiming to be his former mixing engineer- it's probably true though, because who would make that up?
Season one, episode one. The DQYDJ team tackles the musical pursuits of former Frasier star and now Money Plane-enthusiast, Kelsey Grammer.
