Ep 280: Jonas Akerlund

Director Jonas Akerlund (SPUN, LORDS OF CHAOS) sits down with Adam, Joe, and Arwen to discuss his amazing career in music videos, international commercials, and feature films. From MADONNA to METALLICA to U2 to LADY GAGA… Akerlund has created visionary music videos for some of the world's most iconic acts.   He's brought his same unique visual style to his various features including his latest, the beautifully grim and heartfelt LORDS OF CHAOS which is currently touring festivals around the world.   Who are Jonas' favorite artists to work with?   Did PRODIGY'S iconic "Smack My Bitch Up" video really almost wind up in the trash?  How did Jonas adapt and survive when MTV and the internet all but leveled the once booming music industry?  Dr. Arwen dishes out marital advice in this week's "Hollywood Therapy" segment, your "Viewer Mail" is answered, and the dates for this December's 3rd annual 48-Hour LIVE marathon to benefit "Save A Yorkie Rescue" are announced!
