Ep. 51: La Bamba (1987) - Good Times Great Movies

What this episode covers

While Rock and Roll was all the rage in 1957, High School students Doug and Jamie struggled to book gigs as nobody wanted to hear polka music. They caught a break after landing the former lead singer of The Silhouettes only to quickly discover that his voice was embarrassingly awful and his sax playing was suspect at best. A week later the band broke up and the pair concentrated on their studies, which is what teenagers should do. Don’t follow your dreams because stars fall out the sky…or something like that.

They were young, dumb, and full of it. What followed were comedy shows so explicit, “genitalia” was practically a term of endearment.Fast forward 5 dogs, 6 cats, and way too many weird inside jokes later, Sasha and Joe are no longer young or dumb—but they’re still brimming with you-know-what. Here, they’ve teamed up to bring you a podcast where they interview a guest who passionately defends something universally hated, misunderstood, forgotten, overlooked, Mandela-effected, canceled—you name it. The key? They LOVE it. From toupees... to B-movies... to aliens, psychedelics, and the occasional surprise character, Sasha and Joe are here to spread love to the world that birthed them (but maybe should’ve used protection).So come and get that love because no one else will give it to you like we do.Also, don’t forget to check out the Patreon Bonus version of the show:https://www.patreon.com/c/ShutUpILoveItP Explicit
