Reel Talk #12 w special guests Fatboi Sharif and Child Actor is going down on Saturday, July 25th at Loudmouth in Brooklyn. We’ll be screening David Lynch’s 1977 directorial debut Eraserhead, followed by an interview and audience Q&A revolving around it and the duo's great new album Crayola Circles, out now via Backwoodz Studioz. Doors open at 6PM, film starts at 7PM. Tickets are $15 online via Posh (or you can pay me directly via Cash App, Zelle, Venmo, or Apple Pay if you know me like that) and $20 the day of, at the door. Sharif and Child Actor will also have merch for sale, so come ready to support the artists. Reel Talk operates on sliding scale admission, which means this event is pay what you can. I want these movie nights to be accessible to everyone, but please pay what you’re able. If you're in the tri-state, hope to see y'all there! If you'd like to see full video of this and other episodes, join the Reel Notes Patreon at the Homie ($5/month) tier or higher. Each episode is also available to buy individually for $5 (Buy it through a web browser and not the Patreon app. You'll get charged extra if you purchase through the app.) You also get early access to episodes, an invite to our Discord server, access to the Reel Talk archives, and more! My guest this week is Soviet-born, Minnesota-based rapper-producer and founder of Exociety, Rav. We spoke about The Sopranos, the dangers of nostalgia, the pros and cons of being a leftist, Happiness and the films of Todd Solondz, being inspired by the Mortal Kombat movie, living in Russia, Pakistan, across Europe, and the United States, merging his YouTube and indie rap fanbases, preparing for his Exopocalypse tour with Cavalier, Fatboi Sharif, and Teller Bank$, and the creative process behind his latest album EMERGENCE DELIRIUM. Come f**k with us. EMERGENCE DELIRIUM is out now wherever music is sold, streamed, or stolen. Consider copping directly from the Exociety Bandcamp page or grabbing physical copies and merch from Rav's online store. Grab tickets for the Exopocalypse tour, starting September 1 and featuring Cavalier on the west coast dates, Fatboi Sharif on the east coast dates, and Teller Bank$ and Q No Rap Name on all dates, also via Rav's online store.
