The Crushed Monocle Podcast is a show where Jon and Coop talk about stuff. ALL the stuff! Music, movies, shows, life, or whatever. Naturally, they will mispronounce names, poke fun at themselves, and never fail to profess their love for the 1995 masterpiece, Showgirls. Doesn’t that excite you? Sure it does! This is why it’s essential that you subscribe to this podcast on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you consume fine podcasts. This is the Crushed Monocle Podcast: Episode 19 – The Night of London May!
Joining Jon and Coop is a guest who is no stranger to being covered in blood, the legendary London May.
Growing up on the streets of Baltimore, London May was booking bands like 45 Grave and Slayer in places they didn’t usually play. He did this all from a payphone in the hall of his high school. Before he was out of his teens, May found himself behind the drum kit of the punk scene’s most important bands. Things escalated even further when he joined Samhain, Glenn Danzig‘s post-Misfits band. Fast forward to modern times, May has played for a list of artists as long as a gorilla’s arm. Circle Jerks, Tiger Army, Ian MacKaye, and Ministry just to name a few.
Recently, May has returned to his first love of acting. From big-budget features such as The Dark Knight Rises, Disney’s Walk The Prank, all the way through micro-budget horror spectaculars like Verotika and his very own Brutal Realty Inc. On the heels of his latest feature, Night Of The Bastard (directed by Erik Boccio), May is ready to discuss the ups and downs of indie film-making.
In this episode, Jon, Coop, and London May discuss Night Of The Bastard as well as a plethora of topics such as:
- Why it’s okay to geek out with celebrities.
- How to make a film in 138-degree temperatures.
- Doing your own stunts is just as dangerous as playing in Samhain.
- Indie film-making is the new punk rock.
- Glenn Danzig’s grumpiness is kinda relatable.
- Steve Zing is dreamy AF.
- Being in Ministry isn’t very productive.
[Note: apologies for the spotty sound quality here and there. There were a few technical difficulties during the making of this episode]
Do these topics interest you? Well, you’ve stuck it out with the show this far, so that has to count for something!
