This week, I am joined by Jack Turner, the owner of
@animatronicswarehouse , as we look at the documentary The Rock-afire Explosion and his life restoring the iconic animatronic band to its original form.
We discuss how Jack stumbled onto the world of animatronics, how The Rock-afire Explosion introduced him to the music of The Beatles and The Monkees, why animatronics are still being portrayed as the enemy in pop culture, The Rock-afire Explosion’s versions of the White Album and Abbey Road medleys, the genius of inventor Aaron Fletcher (who went from a door to door salesman to producing 50 Rock-afire shows every 3 months), the incredible band Aaron put together to play the music of Rock-afire, the emotional component for the fans of Rock-afire within the documentary, how
@superfurryanimals are the musical thread throughout the documentary (including a SFA Rock-afire performance), how the band actually works mechanically, the amazingly hypnotic videos of Jack restoring the Rock-afire, the change from Rock-afire to Chuck E Cheese, Jack programing a Rock-afire show for a
@clipse & Tyler, The Creator music video, deciding how often they should blink and much more!
