Five Feet Under with Kendon Luscher is a podcast, which is pretty darn cool. What’s the nature of the podcast? I am glad you asked. I ask an artist, writer, musician, comedian and/or God-type five questions. That person answers the questions, and that’s the podcast. It’s short and fun and almost nobody gets hurt in the process.

Today’s guest is Eric Ayotte. He is a filmmaker and a musician. You can find all his stuff on his website, but specifically check out:
–His band and the band’s Facebook page
-The music videos he’s directed, which are great
On today’s episode, I ask the following questions:
- The standard question — what album have you listened to most in the past month?
- What’s the definitive music video?
- Aliens come to Earth and for some reason they knock on your door and tell you that you have a year to remake one feature film or they’ll blow up Earth. They’ll finance the whole thing, but you have to shoot it yourself, soundtrack it yourself and play one of the leads. What can I tell you, these aliens are weird. What movie do you pick and why?
- Last year, you wrote (and made the music video for) a Halloween Song called “Mr. Pumpkin” that might be one of my favorite Halloween tunes I’ve ever heard. Back in 2016, SNL aired its best skit in like a decade with their David S. Pumpkins joint, and that really blew up. I can keep going on about pumpkins, but it’s clear people relate to them hard. Why do you think people relate so much to pumpkins, jack-o-lanterns especially?
- A lot of your short film work is based off a prompts, and you’re great at it. So I’m going to put you on the spot here. Your prompt is dumbest superpower. Give me the elevator pitch for your short film based on this prompt. Bonus points if you can work in yet another Yahoo Search Engine joke, but I won’t tell an artist how to do his work.
