My guest for this month is Clarko Clarko, and he’s joined me to discuss the film he chose for me, the 2012 tour documentary Katy Perry: Part of Me. You can follow the show on Twitter @cinemagadfly.

Show notes:

• The film follows the tour for her Teenage Dream album
• It was produced by Max Martin and Dr. Luke; musical masterminds
• Her next album was Prism
• The film features her relationship with Russell Brand, who is probably unmarriable
• I’m apparently a Highbrow kind of guy, with very particular tastes in music, film, and comic books
• Belle & Sebastian are a somewhat more laid back affair
• I highly recommend everyone watch the Jonathan Demme directed Talking Heads film Stop Making Sense
• I believe Life Is But a Dream is the Beyoncé documentary
• Katy Perry’s parents are not actually Televangelists, but they’re close
• This is what a combination of Whitesnake and Kanye West looks like
• Britney Spears was a Mouseketeer
• Lana Del Rey is not a good live performer
• We find similarities between Katy Perry’s career and that of golfer Tiger Woods
• Chris Carraba is “this guy” from Dashboard Confessional
• NOFX is lead by a guy who calls himself Fat Mike
• Oh Honey
• Both Clarko and I think Disneyland is basically the best thing in the world
• This film takes place during Katy Perry’s Candy Land period
• Walt Disney, Steve Jobs, and John Lasseter; three people I would love to be compared to
• June is where Clarko is currently putting his Katy Perry derived inspiration to work
