See
Hear Podcast comes to the end of its fourth year of existence. Slowly
but surely, we’ve been bringing you discussions about all manner of
music-related films since January 2014.
To
celebrate, Tim, Bernard and Maurice want to party like its 1986. We
are joined by one of the two creators of the film / time capsule
known as Heavy Metal Parking Lot, Jeff Krulik.
Jeff and John Heyn
hung out for 2 hours in the parking lot of the Capital Centre in
Landover, Maryland on May 31 1986 just prior to a Judas Priest
concert. They went armed with a camera, a microphone, four U-matic
tapes, and the bravado to ask the teens / early twenty-somethings
about their love for heavy metal music. The result honestly captures
the joy these fans had at celebrating a particular time in their
life. The film doesn’t romanticise their youth, nor mock it – it
is simply a record of a night. There are truths that can be applied
to any community worldwide.
Jeff
and John went on to make further short films of a similar nature
investigating fans of different aspects of popular culture (like
Phish, monster trucks, Neil Diamond, Harry Potter), but HMPL is where
it all started. The See Hear crew are grateful that Jeff gave so
willingly of his time to talk about this important film. It slowly
gained many fans over the years, many of them musicians – which
shows us that they too are fans.
To
all See Hear listeners, thanks so much for sticking with us for
another year. We’re all hugely grateful, and look forward to
bringing you great shows for your earholes in 2018.
