Episode 112- Lords of Dogtown (2005)

Reel Feels Podcast

A drought in 1970s Southern California has an unexpected side effect: as people empty their swimming pools, a group of teen surfers from the Dogtown area of Venice Beach move in with skateboards, and a new sport is born. Based on a true story, this film follows "Z-Boys" skate team members Stacy Peralta (John Robinson), Tony Alva (Victor Rasuk) and Jay Adams (Emile Hirsch), plus manager Skip Engblom (Heath Ledger), as their fearless "pool surfing" leads to fame, fortune -- and misfortune.

Nathan is BACK! Whew! Nathan brings us his "Surfer" genre with 2005's Biographical drama Lords of Dogtown. The boys look back on their own experiences or non-experiences with surfing and skateboarding alike while reviewing this film. The non-pragmatical elements of the film where we see the real life instances of these young men is often under appreciated when you think about the world of skating today. The movie may not be everyone's cup of tea, but one can always appreciate a great story.

We are the Reel Feels Podcast, every other Wednesday we'll bring you a new movie with all the feels you can handle. We'll laugh, we'll cry and possibly restrain the frustrations to curse the heavens. But what you can count on is three guys sharing their love of cinema with you.

Please leave us a review and share your "reel" feelings.
