When a young Eva Kollisch arrives as a refugee in New York in 1940, she finds a community among socialists who share her values and idealism. She soon discovers ‘the cause’ isn’t as idyllic as it seems. Little does she know this is the beginning of a lifelong commitment to activism and her determination to create radical change in ways that include belonging, love and one's full self. In addition to Eva Kollisch’s memoirs Girl in Movement (2000) and The Ground Under My Feet (2014), LBI’s collections include an oral history interview with Eva conducted in 2014 and the papers of Eva’s mother, poet Margarete Kolllisch, which document Eva’s childhood experience on the Kindertransport.

MP3•Главная эпизода

2000's NEXT FRIDAY is a sequel to the popular 1995 film FRIDAY - it was written by and stars rapper turned actor Ice Cube, directed by Steve Carr and is inferior to the first FRIDAY by every possible quality metric one can imagine. Still, this one has skateboarding in it so Kevin and Mike endeavor to discuss it.
In between lamenting that this film is not as good as its predecessor our hosts tackle the connection between skateboarding and hip-hop, N.W.A. and the STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON movie, East Coast skateboarding vs. West Coast skateboarding, and why comedy sequels so often disappoint.
The episode winds up being about 30 minutes long, perfect to listen to while you wait for the bathroom to air out.

Y2K from 2024 is an apocalyptic comedy science fiction horror coming of age film directed by Saturday Night Live alum Kyle Mooney in his directorial debut. It follows a group of high school students who attempt to survive on New Years Eve when the year 2000 comes and all technology comes to life and turns against humanity. It's also got skateboarding! Kevin and Mike didn't like this movie all that much so spend a lot of time talking about skateboarder Eric Koston and his shoe line (which are referenced several times in the film), how much they hate rock music from the 1990s (particularly Limp Biskit), the time Mike gave Limp Biskit frontman Fred Durst a tattoo, and the time Kevin spent NYE 2000 hiding in a bathroom. It's one of those episodes, in other words. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…

Kevin and Mike are back for 2025 to tackle a movie that's synonymous with skateboard culture - 1990's Pretty Woman! Learn the mysterious identity of the skateboarding teen who appears briefly in the film! Hear how we think the film has held up! Julia Roberts! Richard Gere! Jason Alexander! Opera! Is there anything this movie DOESN'T have? (Aside from a consistent tone, that is.) Find out in the latest pulse-pounding episode of GLEAMING THE TUBE! Hosted on Acast.

Dìdi is a 2024 coming-of-age film, written, directed, and produced by Sean Wang in his directorial debut. The film follows a 13-year-old Taiwanese-American boy as he navigates the challenges of adolescence, his relationship with his mother, and his love of skateboarding. In a departure for movies covered on this podcast, it's really good. Kevin and Mike discuss the film and then go on some weird semi-related tangents around deathbed summons and snack cakes, the Scottish pop band Belle & Sebastian (who are featured on the movie's soundtrack), and their own embarrassing adolescent memories. This episode is messy and all over the place, kind of like how being 13 years old feels like. So yeah, we meant to do that. It's conceptual . Hosted on Acast.

So I Married an Axe Murderer 31:43

1993's So I Married An Axe Murderer finds Mike Myers, hot off the success of the Wayne's World movie, playing a commitment-phobic beat poet who falls head over heels in love with a woman who may or may not have murdered her previous three husbands. There is a profoundly tiny amount of skateboarding in this movie, but that doesn't stop Michael and Kevin from discussing the movie, the career of Myers, the baffling use of an inferior cover version of "There She Goes", beat poetry as a career path and the skateboarding scene in San Francisco, CA (where the film is set.) So break out your most enormous cup of coffee, strike up the jazz band, and let's dig into So I Married An Axe Murderer ! Piper down! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…

We're back! 2005's DECK DOGZ is an Australian film about three skateboarding teens who are trying to escape the law, school, parents, their demons and a couple of criminals to realise their burning ambition; to meet world class skating champion, Tony Hawk and compete in his skating competition. We watched the heck out of this terrible movie and also discuss the larger implications of what having Tony Hawk in your skateboarding film meant circa 2005. Our conclusion - go watch BMX BANDITS. At least that movie has a young Nicole Kidman in it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…

Hackers 40:55

40:55

1995’s Hackers is a shockingly accurate portrayal of the rollerblading hacker subculture of the time and stars darn near everybody, most notably a skateboarding Fisher Stevens who plays an evil hacker called "The Plague." The film also stars Angelina Jolie in one of her first starring roles, Lorraine Bracco, and the dude who played Sick Boy in Trainspotting. Kevin and Michael discuss the film, the skateboarding, hackers they have known, that moment in early 90s Providence when people would declare "I'm not a raver! I'm a club kid!", and many, many other tangents that are both related and unrelated to this deeply silly movie. Hack the planet, y'all! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…

1989’s Honey, I Shrunk the Kids stars the great Rick Moranis as a nutty inventor and father who accidentally, well, shrinks his kids. And his neighbor kids. A whole lot shrinking happening and a tiny bit of skateboarding, which is why Kevin and Mike watched this movie. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…

PCU 30:21

30:21

1994’s PCU, directed by Hart Bochner, tells the story of college life at the fictional Port Chester University, and represents "an exaggerated view of contemporary college life in the 90s" - according to the filmmakers. There are slobs, there are snobs, there is the specter of POLIITICAL CORRECTNESS and there is a little bit of skateboarding. The film features Jeremy Piven in his first lead role, a young Jon Favreau, David Spade, and George Clinton and the P-Funk All Stars. Kevin and Mike talk about the weird Jeremy Piven performance at the center of this movie, whether or not they liked this movie, the things the movie gets wrong, the things the move got right (P-Funk being awesome, basically), and the dawn of inline skating - and there's a brief side discussion of Kevin's college radio show. So grab the t-shirt of the band you're going to go see and BE THAT GUY on the latest pulse-pounding episode of GLEAMING THE TUBE! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…

Shredder Orpheus 20:49

20:49

1989’s SHREDDER ORPHEUS is a dystopian science fiction skateboard retelling of the myth of Orpheus and Euridyce. And it's exactly as good as that description makes it sound. Kevin and Mike enjoy this movie in spite of itself and discuss the skateboarding, the connection to Hadestown, the Providence, RI rave scene of the early 1990s, and how their knowledge of members of Ronald Reagan's presidential cabinet is entirely due to Bloom County comic strips and/or Dead Kennedys songs. Join us as we dive into the genuinely bizarre SHREDDER ORPHEUS ! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…

Minding the Gap is a 2018 documentary film directed by Bing Liu, which chronicles the lives and friendships of three young men growing up in Rockford, Illinois who are united by their love of skateboarding. Kevin and Mike watched this (pretty amazingly great) movie and discuss, in an atypically heavy episode of what is normally a deeply silly podcast, how the movie manages to weave together themes of cycles of violence, growing up in America, race, class, and more. We watch a lot of dumb movies for this podcast so it was a refreshing change of pace to be presented with something so well-made and meaningful. The movie also has a shit-ton of skateboarding in it, so we talk about that, too. This episode has a content warning for discussion of domestic violence. Hosted on Acast.

2007’s HOT ROD tells the story of aspiring stuntman Rod Kimble, played by Andy Samberg, and his attempts to pull off his most impressive stunt yet to help raise money to save his stepfather, played by Ian MacShane. And there's some skateboarding. Kevin and Mike are joined by their pal Guy Benoit to discuss this deeply silly movie.

There comes a time when you heed a certain call, like the call Kevin and Mike had to watch and discuss 2024’s THE GREATEST NIGHT IN POP - a documentary about the making of the iconic 80s charity single WE ARE THE WORLD, as told by the people who put it together. (Mainly Lionel Richie.) How'd it come together? Is the song any good? Where the eff are Prince and Madonna? What the eff is Dan Aykroyd doing there? How drunk was Al Jarreau?

2011’s CHALET GIRL stars future Rebel Alliance soldier Felicity Jones as a former skateboard champion who goes to work at a posh ski resort in the alps where she discovers snowboarding, romance, and montages about snowboarding and romance. Not necessarily in that order. Kevin and Mike talk about the film, the relationship between skateboard and snowboard culture, and why you should really just watch Blue Crush instead of this thing.
