The Rehearsal Room
Opinions! We've got them, and sometimes we'll agree, sometimes we won't, but sometimes we will change each other's minds! Topics range from music to movies to anything else that entertains us and hopefully entertains you as well.
Episodes
Coming up in the music scene as the fellas have, they were always aware that three albums always had the tendency to split fan bases apart. These would be: Entombed's "Wolverine Blues', Carcass' "Heartwork", and Sepultura's "Roots". We know there are tons of others, but this is where our conversation starts. Plus, we catch up with what we've been listening to and what we've been watc...
There's this weird affliction that tends to hit people and the only real symptom of it is they collect things. Whether it's out of habit, therapeutic or for some other weird reason, a lot of us do it and a lot of the people we know do it. So what do we collect here? Primarily it's music and then it can go over to movies books and even toys. So what got you collecting? Here's some quick information as to what started us down this pa...
Ozzy Osbourne. You know his name and you know his work, which has now become his legacy. His passing didn't catch us by surprise, but it was still a shocking thing to find out nonetheless. Everyone's got their own way of processing things, and here's our way of starting to say goodbye to the man who gave so much to the musical world. Rest in peace to the Ozzman
Everyone's got an origin story. Everyone. On this episode, the fellas detail some of what started them off on their musical journeys. Probably as expected, a lot of details overlap for both of them, and of course, it led them down this glorious path on discovering the next great album to listen to. Listen in as they divulge some of the lore behind what made them the fans of music they are today
Another list? Yeah that's right, this time around it's our top 10 adventure movie directors. Let us tell you folks, this is tougher than you might think because once we start thinking about what adventure movies we like, we're inundated with so many options, but these are the ones the fellas keep coming back to time and again. And while folks might be tired of hearing about lists at the moment, this one's pretty fun...
Way back in the before times, when we were all still finding out what exactly going online even meant, a program popped up that facilitated the uploading and sharing of music. The program? Napster. It had a couple of offshoots and maybe in the very beginning, some good intentions but as with everything that's released onto the public unfettered, it went crazy real quick. Well, the fellas here had some experience with this program. ...
Well, look at this! The big 2-0! That's right folks, our 20th episode and what better way to celebrate them to dive deep into one of the albums that both the fellas rank 10/10, that being the 2005 self titled album by Lurker Of Chalice! This album was put out by one person, Jef Whitehead a.k.a. Wrest, which some might know from his other band Leviathan or his participation in the super group Twilight but rest assured, this album is...
That's right, this one's about Ryan Coogler's latest offering, "Sinners". Aside from the obvious, that being that the fellas really enjoyed this movie, there's gonna be spoilers and there's gonna be a whole lot of them. You know why? This movie is jam-packed with references to moments in real life, and it's presented in such a way that even trying to write about it won't do it justice, so just ...
In the mid-80s, American moral panic numero dos would make things a bit interesting. The Parental Music Resource Center, aka Tipper Gore and her stooges, raised such a clamor that musicians everywhere needed a savior by the looks of it. Three heroes from parts unknown came to our defense. Frank Zappa, Dee Snyder, and John Denver… WTF? Come and check in to see if the fellas can make sense of this or not.
If you found yourself around during the 1980s, specifically in North America, you might have experienced something collectively called the satanic panic. This was a wild wave of fear and concern, the fear irrational, the concern rational, that took over a lot of people's mindsets and, unfortunately, resulted in a lot of people incarcerated to this day. But where did it start? While the fellas try to make sense of it, we also hi...
When Bill Haley and the Comets seemingly created rock 'n' roll, little did they know that just 40 years later, the question of whether rock is dead would also come up, and that question has been asked, apparently, since the 90s all the way up until now. Well, in this episode, the fellas shoulder the amazing task of tackling this question head-on. Is this a topic with some merit, or is this simply something "rock purist...
They aren't the biggest secret in the doom world, but many people are still unaware of this band. Certainly a case of 'if you know, then you certainly goddamn know'! On this latest album deep dive, the fellas glaze up none other than the Bay Area's doom metal masters, Asunder! Focusing their praise on the equal parts of beautiful, equal parts crushingly heavy; 'A Clarion Call'
On this episode, the fellas welcome Pete Majors! You might know him from his bands, some of which have been Harassor, Hater of Man, Actuary, Dargar and Qaalm to name a few, or you might know him from his all to memorable beard either recommending or buying some choice cuts when it came to vinyl at perhaps the biggest record shop in Los Angeles. Or you just might actually know him from some of the great cat pictures he posts on his ...
To be or not to be! No, wait… That's not it. Oh yeah, as the title says, let's talk about it! Check in to see where the fellas land with their thoughts on this often asked, many times debated topic!
Well, would you look at that? A listener recommendation! So for this episode, the fellas jump into trying to decipher what the A24 movie "Heretic" might be trying to get across. Tons of spoilers and tons of opinions abound, but if you wanna know what we ended up thinking about this movie, tune in and check it out! And, keep sending those recommendations!
Listen in as the fellas use their limited intelligence to discuss artificial intelligence! We are pretty sure it's used in many other fields aside from what we mentioned, but because the creative fields are what affect us first and foremost, those are some of the areas we consider with regard to the use and misuse of AI. How do y'all feel about it? Knowing about its real-world ramifications, would you still use this as norm...
Hey, check it out! It's our first interview! We decided to jump into this with one of our favorite Southern California musicians, Daniel Kaufman! You might know him from one of his many bands listed here: ex-Mindrot/ex-Dystopia/ex-Eyes of Fire/Destroy Judas/Masters Ashes/Destroyer of Judas. Dan was nice enough to come into the studio and talk about how it started and basically, how it's going. Check it out for anybody inter...
In this next foray of many to come, the fellas dive deep into one of the most well-known Floridian death metal bands! Morbid Angel, everybody knows them, everybody loves them! Their first album, "Altars Of Madness," is for sure a landmark, and in this episode, we get to fanboy about how we came to this album, but also the band, as we praise everything we like and love about the music contained therein. Also, what are you ...
In this go-around, the fellas discuss one of the age-old questions about what they enjoy: is it the lyrics? Or is it the music? Or maybe it's both? They share some personal anecdotes about what hits them the most when they listen to music they enjoy. We'll most likely revisit this conversation at a later date, but join in their jumping-off point in this latest episode, and check it out!
We are all fans of something or other out there, right? To what degree totally depends on everybody out there, but recently, somebody in the music world had a pretty negative experience with some of their fans. Specifically, Chino Moreno of the Deftones had one of these types of interactions that may have left a sour taste in his mouth. Since there are no guidelines for being a fan, the fellas discussed a few examples of negative f...

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
