    Dead Mikey Number 12: 

    Conan The Barbarian 

    This episode is just madness. Jean leads us through a dark valley of “Dead Mikeys” that are baked into the 1982 flick, Conan The Barbarian. In the mean time, Heather suffers from being forced to watch it and Doug desperately tries to find spots to read the commercials the gang couldn't record during their covid shut down.

  • Human Highway : The Musical

    Dead Mikey Number Eleven :

    Human Highway : The Musical 

    So the gang finally got to see the movie Jean had been anticipating all season long, Human Highway – starring and directed by Neil Young. The flick also stars Dennis Hopper, Dean Stockwell, Russ Tamblyn, Sally Kirkland and Devo. 

    Right at the top of the episode, Doug decided the best way to do an episode about a cult film most people have never seen – or even have access to – was to turn the podcast itself into a musical. So he grabbed his acoustic guitar and made up songs about it on the spot while Heather and Jean explained what it was we'd seen. Taping this episode was a blast. 


    Footnotes and Follies: 

    In an issue of Rolling Stone, members of Devo mentioned Sally Kirkland sued Neil Young over the cut tendon she suffered at the hands of Dennis Hopper.

    A David Lynch Pin Of Shame 

    In this episode, Jean talks about an interview Laura Dern gave in Rolling Stone where she describes the contents of David Lynch's refrigerator.

    The first synthesizer “The RCA Mark 2” was invented in 1957 but not yet commercially available at the time of Del Shannon's “Runaway” was recorded. Max Crook invented the Musitron in late 1960.
