Blastfrom Castfrom

It's been 20 years since Metallica made their first attempts at recording their 8th Studio album. Following the Load and Re-Load albums, this load took over 700 days to emerge. The whole process was almost entirely documented in the 2004 film Some Kind of Monster. In this episode of the Blastfrom Castform we discuss that eventful documentary as well as the fruits of their arduous labour - St. Anger; the counter argument to the old adage 'if at first you don't succeed...'

Hurling at you now is the latest episode of the Blastfrom Castfrom. The world of Wayne's World (or maybe that should just be Wayne's world, small 'w') has been quoted enough times on this podcast that it seemed worthy of further discussion. The original Wayne's World movie was an early 90's phenomenon - hugely successful and culturally significant. The sequel also happened. If you're interested by the premise of two slackers of indeterminate age bumbling their way through life... you'll hear them discuss Wayne's World and Wayne's World 2 on this podcast!

In this sequel to the Musicians in the Movies episode we discuss thespian invasion of pop music. People who imagine themselves so talented that one branch of the entertainment industry cannot hold them. Some people hate it - they're taking up space after all that could be allocated to professional musicians. Space in the studio. Space on the record release schedule. And finally space in the bargain bin. Now thanks to your favourite music streaming services, the efforts of these actors are now out of the bin and can take up space in your head - including Bruce Willis, Katey Segal, Eddie Murphy, Crispin Glover and many others. Listen along with us on the latest episode of the Blastfrom Castfrom. Not literally on the podcast, listen on your own time – we're terrified of the army of copyright infringement seeking robots, scouring the internet like dream shattering Terminators. Back to the Future II didn’t predict that one.
