    Interview w/ MIKE DETERMAN & TOM ROSY (Directors of "BEHIND THE BUCKET")

    May the 4th be with you!
    This is Play That Rock n' Roll's interview with Mike Determan and Tom Rosy, the co-directors of the new documentary, "BEHIND THE BUCKET".
    "Behind the Bucket" is a documentary about the Midwest Garrison of the 501st Legion, which is a community of dedicated Star Wars fans who design and build film-accurate costumes that they wear to conventions and other fan events. They also lend their support by appearing in these costumes at fundraisers and charity events.
    In this conversation, we celebrate Star Wars Day by talking about our own fandoms -- when we first saw the films, how we engaged with them as kids, and what about them still impresses us today. Then we discuss their documentary -- how Tom got involved with the 501st, what made them decide to make this film, and how they went about doing it.
    Plus they will share some news about its release to streaming and DVD!

Joe Kay is a true historian of rock. This type of “rock-n-roll” journalism is awesome.

Great Pod

Probably my favorite part of the pod is Chris. Largely because I love the sound of my own voice!

Sober Southerner ,

smooth, professional & shockingly informative

As a fellow rock music expert I have high expectations for podcasts of this type. Not only was I hella impressed by the amount of research host Joe Kay does, but the thoughtful way he integrates it. From documented facts to witness accounts, plus his own well-informed qualified opinions it's like he's a panel of 3 distinct experts covering one topic from many discreet angles, giving you a 5-dimensional picture of the artist and thier music. I was stunned to actually learn 3 entirely new things about Joe Walsh, an artist whose work and life I happen to know intimately already. On top of that he's got a super listenable style. When I have to speed up 4 out of every 5 podcasts just to get past the droning, stammering, ums, uhs, and repetitive circle-speak, this guy's refreshing as heck... a real natural on the mic, very professional sounding.
