In this episode of Let's Ruin Our Lives, host Josh Hensley sits down with independent filmmaker Mike Davis, founder of Stag Films and creator of the underground cult film Dead, White, and Blue. Mike discusses his unique "green filmmaking" process, creating feature-length movies entirely from recycled public domain footage, government films, educational films, military archives, and stock footage. We dive into the DIY spirit of independent cinema, exploitation films, punk rock influences, film festivals, low-budget filmmaking, satire, censorship, media literacy, and the realities of film distribution in the streaming age. Mike shares how Dead White and Blue was assembled from over 300 different public-domain films, the challenges of editing thousands of hours of footage, and why satire remains an important tool for political and social commentary. Topics Covered: • Green filmmaking and recycled media • Public domain footage and government archives • Independent film production on a near-zero budget • Exploitation cinema and cult movies • Punk rock's influence on filmmaking • Film festivals and underground cinema • Streaming distribution and Tubi • Satire, politics, and media literacy • DIY creativity and artistic freedom If you're interested in independent filmmaking, underground movies, cult cinema, DIY art, exploitation films, or creative storytelling on a budget, this episode is for you.

We covered a fashion show! Hosted by the indelible Hazey, owner of AZ DeZign, the show consisted of live bands and DJ's, a fashion walk with the Cunty Coyote models, clothes vendors, and photoshoots. We had no idea what to expect before we got there and it turned out to be a lot of fun. Embrace your inner Cunt! Say no to fast-fashion. ***FOLLOW*** HAZEY: @https://www.instagram.com/zetalyiah/?hl=en AZ DEZIGN: @https://www.instagram.com/azdezign/?hl=en PICHIZU FABRIC: https://www.instagram.com/pichizufabrix/?hl=en UNHINGED INK DOLLZ: @https://www.instagram.com/unhingedinkdollz/?hl=en BANDS ZAVELLE: @https://www.instagram.com/officialzavelle/?hl=en POCA MADRE: @https://www.instagram.com/pocamadreband/?hl=en MISSING OCTOBER: @https://www.instagram.com/missingoctober.az/?hl=en INTERVIEWS ZERO GRIMGOIR: @https://www.instagram.com/heisundead/?hl=en FABI: @https://www.instagram.com/faby.tea/?hl=en @https://www.instagram.com/admiremgt/?hl=en @https://www.instagram.com/contentwithfabianna/?hl=en ALEX AKA PICASSAHOE (ATLAN JOESTAR): @https://www.instagram.com/picassahoe/?hl=en LET'S RUIN OUR LIVES Hosted and Produced by Joshua Hensley (@https://www.instagram.com/joshkidding_lrol/?hl=en) Camera/Audio/Production • Jesse Lopez (https://www.instagram.com/t_rec101/?hl=en) LROL LOGO • Jamar Neighbors (@https://www.instagram.com/jamar_neighbors/?hl=en) INTRO SONG • "Let's Ruin Our Lives" - The MFA - Post Apocalypse Depression (2024) (@https://www.instagram.com/motherfuckersoftheapocalypse/?hl=en) Watch THE MFA "Let's Ruin Our Lives": @https://youtu.be/Dpa4kBnw5k4?si=vJtkUMK1IXMM_QdO Listen THE MFA: @https://open.spotify.com/artist/6WRgszXwXhqdN23n1jET4V?si=F-kZ8iM8TvGekrus2HplKg SEO Live Fashion Show Live Music Punk Rock Underground Art Counterculture #livefashionshow #livemusic #punkrock #undergroundart #counterculture MAHALO 🎶🎭💔⚒️💌🎶

I cut this from the upcoming full episode "LROL #75: Creative Sight: On Location at Cunty Coyote" because it didn't really fit, but I felt like Cupert still deserved his interview to be seen. He talked about his ongoing passion for studying biochemistry, the differences between adderall and methamphetamine, and discovering that he may be an educator at heart. Enjoy!
