Pack your bags as we head to Canada to talk with vocalist Chris Hardy and bassist Colton Frausell of Nova Scotia based pop punk outfit All Honesty. An awesome band that I found on spotify, reached out to, and now have the privilege of having on the show to talk their favorite movie. Chris and Colton chose 1998 classic American History X. A polarizing movie that tackles racism through the eyes of a reformed skin head named Derrick Vineyard, who is played perfectly by Edward Norton. With a supporting cast of Edward Furlong, Beverly D'Angelo, Ethan Suplee, Avery Brooks, and Fairuza Balk, American History X became a cultural phenomenon that opened the door for many conversations regarding race in our country. Check out the episode to find out more and to also learn a little bit more about All Honesty.

For the first time ever we’re seeing things I 2 I and talking about a Disney movie. Not just any Disney movie, but Rikk r Treat of the The Writhers favorite one, A Goofy Movie. The 1995 animated cult classic that has stood the test of time and gave us such memories as the perfect cast and Powerline singing nothing but heaters. Check out the episode to learn some more about the movie and how it has inspired Rikk r Treat

As far as I know, I sat down and talked with Cam Martin, drummer of Virginia Beach based hardcore band Victim of Suffering, and not a shapeshifting alien from Antartica. That would be rather interesting and ironic though being that Cam's favorite movie is The Thing. John Carpenter's 1982 classic laid a roadmap for one of the best horror stories ever told. Starring Kurt Russell, Wilford Brimley, and Keith David, Carpenter asks one simple and terrifying question. What do you do when you can't trust yourself or the person next to you? Check out the episode to hear more about why The Thing is Cam's favorite movie and be sure to check put Victim of Suffering.

fortunately at this point I haven't received any letters telling me that someone has erased me or the show from their mind, because if they did that would mean they aren't here now to learn about my friend Dan Sheehan and his favorite movie, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Who would have thought a 2004 Micheal Gondry directed indie movie featuring Jim Carey and Kate Winslet doing the opposite of their norms would have garnered two Academy Award nominations? With the help of a star studded supporting cast (Mark Ruffalo, Elijah Wood, Kiersten Dunst, Tom Wilkinson, Jane Adams, and David Cross) it is no surprise to see why Eternal Sunshine has done so well as it has, and has taken the mantle of favorite movie for so many people. Check out the episode here to see why my good friend and frontman of Hudson Valley based melodic hardcore band Ghost Chant is amongst one of them.

We're on a mission from God! That mission is to teach the world about my friend James Cross of Vermont based emo band NRVS. James and I had one of the most interesting conversations about music, the industry, and of course his favorite movie. The 1980 John Landis music comedy, The Blues Brothers. Starring John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd as the eponymous Blues Brothers, The Blues Brothers follows the two brothers on their way to put the band back together and raise some money to save the orphanage they were raised in. Click that play button to hear more and to learn why it is James's favorite movie.

"Momma always said life was like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get." Today we get another fun episode of Movie Night With Bands featuring my good friend Shane Emery of Connecticut based pop punk outfit Say What You Will and I talking about his favorite movie, Forrest Gump. Another Robert Zemeicks classic starring Tom Hanks as the titular Forrest Gump, a man with a below average IQ who is present for some of the best and worst moments of American and world history. With a supporting cast of Robin Wright as Jenny, Gary Sinise as Lt. Dan, Mykelti Williamson ad Bubba, and Sally Field as forrest's mother, Forrest Gump made its way to the Oscar podium to accept 6 awards. Check out the episode to hear more about the movie and why it is Shane's favorite. Be sure to also head over to our playlist to check out some Say What You Will.

Back in the saddle this week with Mike McInnes who is the guitarist of Pittsburgh based pop punk band Old Neon. Mike reached out to me a few weeks back about coming onto the show and I'm excited to finally have him on to talk about his favorite movie, The Rocketeer. This 1991 Disney/Touchstone produced super hero movie directed by Joe Johnston (Jumanji, Captain America: the first Avenger) tells the story of Cliff Secord, a struggling stunt pilot who discovers a rocket pack and goes on to become the eponymous Rocketeer. Starring Billy Campbell as Secord, Jennifer Connelly, Alan Arkin, Timothy Dalton (then the current James Bond) and Paul Sorvino (fresh off Goodfellas and Dick Tracy) it's hard to believe that Disney worried that there wasn't enough star power behind this film. Check out the episode and be sure to check out Old Neon, who's full length album Can't Fucking Wait comes out on 6/23.

I think it is only fitting that I talk with my best friend who I'm in a band with about movie about best friends in a band. Today's guest is Avery Avello, lead guitarist of What Makes Sense on another episode of Movie Night With Bands that we recorded in person with the help of WMS rhythm guitarist Eddie Petershagen who may or may not cameo in the episode. Bill & Ted is a 1989 comedy classic with Keanu Reeves, Alex Winter, and George Carlin on one wild ride of time travel and ultimate friendship. Check out the episode to hear why it's Avery favorite movie and maybe learn something new about What Makes Sense.

Oh Hi Mark, did you know that the day has finally come where we talk The Room? Yes, today is indeed the day and that we talk the 2003 Auteur driven, written, produced, directed, and starring vehicle of the elusive D.B. Cooper, a.k.a Tommy Wiseau. Whether a money laundering scheme or a true stroke of genius over the head of the masses, I couldn't be happier to have had this conversation with Marcus Simonini and Ryan Beck of Rhode Island pop punk outfit Another One Down! Don't miss out on one of our wildest episodes yet!

Although it doesn't quite seem like it while you're watching it, this weeks movie is the newest movie we have talked about on the podcast. Damien Chazelle's (Whiplash/First Man/Babylon) 2016 six time oscar winning (including best director for Chazelle) La La Land says I love you to golden age Hollywood and classic cinema in a way that so many have only tried to do. Starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, La La Land danced its way into today's guest's heart and took the mantle of favorite movie. Fellow musician and cinephile Patrick Nadeau of Breton and Real Talk has deemed this modern classic his favorite and had plenty to say as to why.
