About this listen

 Welcome back to We Came From Celluloid, where film and music collide in the messiest, most honest way possible. I'm Nicky P, here with Brian Pritchard, and this week we're dealing with some heavy shit - the kind of losses that make you question everything while simultaneously getting excited about what comes next. August has been a month, folks. We lost Ozzy Osborne, Brent Hines from Mastodon, and earlier this year, David Lynch passed away. These aren't just dead heroes - they're creative voids that need to be filled. But here's the thing: loss creates opportunity. When giants fall, space opens up for new voices to emerge. What We Cover:
  • Processing the deaths of musical and cinematic legends
  • Why mass appeal usually makes Nicky stop liking things
  • Brian's Danny Boyle deep dive and the Slumdog Millionaire Oscar backlash
  • Our ongoing Jordan Peele debates (yes, we're still beating this dead horse)
  • The Key & Peele legacy and why Keegan never found his footing
  • Bad movies with musical components that are actually amazing
  • Why Rob Zombie is talented but unwatchable
  • House of 1000 Corpses and the lost cuts we'll never see
  • The death of concise filmmaking in the digital age
  • Movies that go into production without scripts (looking at you, Marvel)
  • Hudson Hawk appreciation and Easter egg obsessions
The Deep Stuff: Brian gets philosophical about creative vacuums and how loss creates space for new artists. We talk about Aldous Huxley's "mind at large" theory and how friction in the creative process is essential - just like how everything in nature grows on the edges, where different environments meet. Music Talk:
  • Why Nicky needs someone to rein in his creative indulgences
  • The plan to bury a "Nights in White Satin" sample in our song "1212"
  • How Easter eggs connect everything from movies to music
  • The importance of having that "everyman" perspective in a band
Film Geek Moments: From Lynch's four-hour Dune cut to deleted scenes that are lost to time, we dive into the stuff that gets salvaged and what disappears forever. Plus, why modern movies are too damn long and how digital filmmaking enables creative indulgence. Key Takeaway: Death sucks, but it creates space. Whether it's Ozzy, Brent, or Lynch, their absence means new voices get a chance to step up. And that's actually pretty exciting, even when you're mourning the loss of your heroes. This episode is for anyone who's ever lost an artistic hero and wondered who would fill that void. It's for people who understand that the best art comes from friction, resistance, and those uncomfortable edges where different worlds collide. Ready to argue about Jordan Peele some more? Follow us everywhere and tell us we're wrong. We can take it.
