26. Mo Shafeek - My Movie DNA My Movie DNA

In episode 26, Johnny talks to Mutant Records co-founder Mo Shafeek.

Mo started Mutant Records earlier this year with fellow founding members of Mondo’s poster and vinyl divisions. They really are the hot new label in town, and it’s been great to see them hit the ground running with some big name releases already. 

Johnny's talk with Mo covers the Wachowskis, Josie & The Pussycats, and Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross’ awesome music to Luca Guadagnino’s Challengers. They talk about Mo’s recent trip to Hawaii to see Michael Giacchino conducting the 20th anniversary concert for the TV show Lost, and they discuss the process of getting artwork approved by the great Tom Cruise...

This conversation was recorded online in early May 2024.

A huge thank you to Brad and Ryan at Mutant for helping facilitate Mo's time for the interview. Thanks also to James Van As who wrote and performed the brilliant podcast music (check out James' ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Loco Looper⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ game) and to Willow Van As who designed the amazing artwork and provided general podcast support.
