2. Katy Perry: Part of Me

My guest for this month is Clarko Clarko, and he’s joined me to discuss the film he chose for me, the 2012 tour documentary Katy Perry: Part of Me. You can follow the show on Twitter @cinemagadfly.

Show notes:

The film follows the tour for her Teenage Dream album
It was produced by Max Martin and Dr. Luke; musical masterminds
Her next album was Prism
The film features her relationship with Russell Brand, who is probably unmarriable
I’m apparently a Highbrow kind of guy, with very particular tastes in music, film, and comic books
Belle & Sebastian are a somewhat more laid back affair
I highly recommend everyone watch the Jonathan Demme directed Talking Heads film Stop Making Sense
I believe Life Is But a Dream is the Beyoncé documentary
Katy Perry’s parents are not actually Televangelists, but they’re close
This is what a combination of Whitesnake and Kanye West looks like
Britney Spears was a Mouseketeer
Lana Del Rey is not a good live performer
We find similarities between Katy Perry’s career and that of golfer Tiger Woods
Chris Carraba is “this guy” from Dashboard Confessional
NOFX is lead by a guy who calls himself Fat Mike
Oh Honey
Both Clarko and I think Disneyland is basically the best thing in the world
This film takes place during Katy Perry’s Candy Land period
Walt Disney, Steve Jobs, and John Lasseter; three people I would love to be compared to
June is where Clarko is currently putting his Katy Perry derived inspiration to work
