The Sour Hour, December 12, 2018 (Joe Bob Briggs)

December 18, 2018 21:32 - 58 minutes - 79.7 MB

On this week's ep, I start off talking about Kevin Hart and the Oscars, Kodak Black and Ebro, the bad luck of Trump's mistresses and who the hell is Jacquees and why he's calling himself the king of R & B. Later on, I play a pre-recorded interview I did with famed drive-in critic Joe Bob Briggs. I talk to him about his history of reviewing exploitation films and his rep as a professionally un-P.C. guy. I also let him know me and my late mom used to bond over his old Movie Channel show. As fo...

The Sour Hour, December 5, 2018 (Karina Nistal)

December 18, 2018 21:21 - 58 minutes - 80.5 MB

Well, this ep was a ray of sunshine. First off, I go off on George H. W. Bush's passing, Cardi B & Offset breaking up, Tekashi 6ix9ine's legal troubles and why I'm glad I'm not on cocaine. Later on, I talk to vocalist, old friend and overwhelmingly upbeat person Karina Nistal, as she discusses her latest album, her run-ins with Viola Davis & LL Cool J and why I should be more positive. (Yeah, that's probably not gonna happen.) As for music, I play songs by The Hue, Anderson .Paak and Joe B ...

The Sour Hour, November 28, 2018 (Michael Sicinski)

December 18, 2018 20:57 - 1 hour - 82.6 MB

As fun as this was, I'm getting bad at interviewing. First off, I rant about Dwight Howard, Paul Manafort, why gender-reveal parties are the worst and why Houston is one of the most sinful cities in America. Later, I talk to film critic and scholar Michael Sicinski, and we spent most of our convo not talking about what's going on in movies, but music videos. (You just had to be there.) As for tunes, I play some LL Cool J, Prince and the Revolution and The White Stripes. The Sour Hour airs ...

The Sour Hour, November 21, 2018 (Jacquelyn Battise)

December 18, 2018 20:47 - 58 minutes - 81 MB

Yeah, this episode didn't go well. This harried, hastily-put-together edition had me first talking to Jacquelyn Battise, host of KPFT's Native-American program People of Earth, about the true meaning of Thanksgiving. Later in the show, I was going to talk on the phone to a friend of mine who was doing some last-minute, Turkey Day shopping. But that muhfucka flaked on me -- hard. So, I just scrambled around, rambled about shit and played some more tunes. As for music, I play tunes from Rag '...

The Sour Hour, November 7, 2018 (Richard Herskowitz)

December 18, 2018 20:42 - 58 minutes - 81 MB

Alright, this one is definitely not as miserable as last week's show. I open up the show with nothing but midterms talk. I also divulge something that happened to me regarding a kid wearing Puma slides outside a Walgreens. Later on, I talk to Richard Herskowitz, artistic director for the Houston Cinema Arts Festival (https://www.cinemahtx.org), about the upcoming festival and all the great memories he's had now that's he moving on to greener pastures. As for music, I play tunes from TV on t...

The Sour Hour Extra: The Bodied Interview

December 18, 2018 20:37 - 11 minutes - 5.42 MB

A couple of weeks ago, filmmaker/music-video filmmaker Joseph Kahn came to Houston to talk to press about his new movie, Bodied, which hits theaters today. (It'll be on YouTube Premium at the end of the month.) He also brought along stars Jackie Long (Real Husbands of Hollywood) and Calum Worthy (American Vandal). I got a few minutes with them to talk about the movie, Kahn's experiences directing videos for rappers, whether or not white people can actually rap and -- for all the Film Twitter ...

The Sour Hour Extra: The Nell Scovell Interview

December 18, 2018 20:34 - 26 minutes - 36.4 MB

Here's a phone convo I recently had with longtime Facebook friend and TV-writer extraordinaire Nell Scovell. Since she'll be in town this weekend for the Ann & Stephen Kaufman Jewish Book & Arts Festival (https://www.erjcchouston.org/arts/jewish-book-arts-festival/), we talk about her memoir Just the Funny Parts: ... And a Few Hard Truths About Sneaking into the Hollywood Boys' Club. We also discuss her years at Harvard, her time writing for Spy Magazine, how she got into the TV-writing game ...

The Sour Hour, October 31, 2018 (Simon Abrams)

December 18, 2018 20:31 - 1 hour - 83 MB

Yeah, this one ain't gonna be funny. First, I talk about Trump being worthless, all the damn shootings, the migrant caravan and the blackface debate. Then, I just go into the horrible few days I've had, thanks to a really bad cold and several, racist hipsters. Since I recorded this on Halloween night, I later play a pre-recorded interview with film critic/good friend Simon Abrams, where I picked his brain about the state of horror cinema and what are the best horror movies to watch during th...

The Sour Hour, October 17, 2018 (Jenny Glamazon)

December 18, 2018 20:26 - 58 minutes - 80.5 MB

I start off this week's ep with an update on my homeless situation. Then, I plow through talking about Kanye at the White House, Chris Brown and Drake bonding, Pusha T and Trump vs. Stormy Daniels. Later, I talk to Houston-based Instagram model Jenny Glamazon about what it's like being a curvy gal in a usually skinny game. As for music, I play new tunes from Gabriel Garzon-Montano, Mac Ayres and Ariana Grande. The Sour Hour airs Wednesday nights, 9/8c, on KPFT HD2. Listen live at http://kp...

The Sour Hour, October 10, 2018 (J. Prince)

December 18, 2018 20:21 - 59 minutes - 81.3 MB

This has been quite a week. On this week's ep, I basically start off the show by talking about my official homelessness and how I've been holding up, now that I've been crashing in my car. I also plow through Kavanaugh, Trump, Taylor Swift and Bill Cosby. Then, we go to a pre-recorded interview I did with J. Prince, the man behind Rap-A-Lot Records, Drake's career and a new memoir, The Art & Science of Respect, outside the Breakfast Klub. As for music, I play Bun B featuring Z-Ro, Jeezy and...

The Sour Hour, October 3, 2018 (Lance Scott Walker)

December 18, 2018 20:16 - 59 minutes - 82.1 MB

On this week's ep, I once again start things off by ranting about Kavanaugh and all the dumb-ass things he did in his youth. I also go in on Trump, Kanye, Katt Williams and that damn Houston sex brothel. Later on, I FaceTime author/music journalist Lance Scott Walker and we discuss the newest, expanded edition of his 2013 book, Houston Rap Tapes: An Oral History of Bayou City Hip-Hop. As for music, I play tunes from Mike Jones featuring Slim Thug and Paul Wall, The Convicts and D. Rose & DJ ...

The Sour Hour, September 26, 2018 (Ken Tucker)

December 18, 2018 20:11 - 59 minutes - 81.8 MB

I flew by the seat of my ass on this one. First up, I go off on Brent Kavanaugh and all the Bret Easton Ellis-y things he did back in his youth. Then, I implore all women to get together and hatch a plan to put a hurtin' on powerful men who are just screwing everything up. Later on, I speak with Yahoo TV critic about the fall TV season and how it's impossible to watch everything that's out there. As for music, I play tunes from Jazmine Sullivan & Bryson Tiller, Telepopmusik featuring Angela...

The Sour Hour, September 19, 2018 (Josh Shaffer)

December 18, 2018 20:07 - 58 minutes - 80.8 MB

On this week's ep, I open the show going off on Brett Kavanaugh, Trump and his penis, the Emmys, Katt Williams and why fast-food chains are shady as hell when stuff like National Cheeseburger Day comes around. Later on, I talk to journalist Josh Shaffer, an old colleague of mine from my North Carolina newspaper days. about what's going on in the Carolinas now in the aftermath of Hurricane Florence. As for music, I play tunes from the Hall of Justus featuring Little Brother and Carlitta Duran...

The Sour Hour, September 12, 2018 (Jay Wehnert)

December 18, 2018 20:00 - 58 minutes - 80.1 MB

Well, this one was somber. I start off the show recapping my experience speaking at the Houston Museum of African American Culture. Then, I rant about Nicki & Cardi throwing shoes, Serena going off on that umpire, Les Moonves and that Dallas cop who wandered into a dude's house and shot him. Later, I talk to Jay Wehnert, art collector, expert and author of the new book, Outsider Art in Texas: Lone Stars, about the unsung artists he often stumbles upon. As for music, I play tunes from Mac Mi...

The Sour Hour, September 5, 2018 (John Guess/Chris Poldoian)

December 18, 2018 19:55 - 57 minutes - 79.2 MB

Don't ever say I can't bring people together. On this ep, I talk to John Guess, CEO of the Houston Museum of African-American Culture and Chris Poldoian, wine director at Camerata at Paulie's. They discuss the admirable, inspirational efforts they've been doing in the community, as well as the fun times they've each had abroad. Keep in mind, we talk about all of this while sipping on German wine. As for the opening rant, I go off on white dudes burning their Nikes because of Colin Kaepernick...

The Sour Hour, August 29, 2018 (The Hue)

December 17, 2018 20:39 - 1 hour - 83.4 MB

For some reason, this one left me very depressed. Maybe it's because I began the show (after briefly playing some Al Green to hype myself up) ranting about awful people (Asia Argento, Louis C.K., the dude in Memphis who had sex with that corpse) and awful things (the increase in STDs, the time I was recently an unwitting accomplice to a gas-station robbery). Or maybe it's because my guests are fun-loving, local hip-hop trio The Hue, and how they had a camaraderie and charisma on the mic that...

The Sour Hour, August 22, 2018 (Ben Dickey/Ethan Hawke/Alyssa Herren)

December 17, 2018 20:34 - 1 hour - 84.5 MB

Yeah, this episode is packed. I once again deviate from my routine of opening with a rant (although I do give a shout-out to the late, great Queen of Soul) and have a talk with author/blogger/positive person Alyssa Herren, in the hopes of getting some damn enlightenment in my life. Later on, I play a pre-recorded interview with actor/writer/director Ethan Hawke and actor/musician Ben Dickey, who discuss their new movie Blaze. (II also wrote about it: http://houston.culturemap.com/news/entert...

The Sour Hour, August 8, 2018 (Iram Seven/Sayra Vallejo)

December 17, 2018 20:29 - 58 minutes - 80.7 MB

Yeah, this was one of those nights. A tense run-in with the hosts of the program that's on before mine led to me being a bit off my game during this episode. I try my best to not only rant about Alex Jones, Trump vs. Lebron, Melania coming in with the shade and Houston homeless people at the top of the show, but have a proper, long-overdue talk with this week's guests, local artists Iram Seven and Sayra Vallejo. Thank God I brought some Lay's potato chips for them to snack on. As for music, ...

The Sour Hour, August 1, 2018 (Oz Longworth, Jr./Damien Randle)

December 17, 2018 20:07 - 1 hour - 84.5 MB

On this week's show, a welcome champion returns. Oz Longworth, Jr. comes back for a second time, and he brings along self-proclaimed "washed-up rapper" Damien Randle. They're both the hosts of the new podcast, Opinions While Black, and we discuss that podcast along with other things that are pissing all of us off. At the top of the show, I rant about some interesting things that happened to me this past week, along with some brand-new bullshit in the news. As for music, I play tunes from Leo...

The Sour Hour, July 25, 2018 (Cristina Urquieta)

December 17, 2018 19:57 - 59 minutes - 81.3 MB

Well, I'm back. After two weeks of dealing with things (some of which I explain at the top of the show), I return to do another episode. I start off ranting about Trump (as always), the war on libraries, R. Kelly and that time a trans woman accosted me at a Shell station. Later, I talk to Cristina Urquieta, lead singer of the Houston-based, reggae/ska band Metanoia, about how they got together, their sound and why bands never have T-shirts for fat dudes. As for music, I play The Pointer Sist...

The Sour Hour, July 4, 2018 (Adrienne Johnson Martin/Will Shropshire)

December 17, 2018 19:52 - 1 hour - 83.6 MB

Since Independence Day was a crazy-ass day in Houston, here's an episode of The Sour Hour that's equally insane. Instead of ranting at the top of the show, I have a discussion with Will Shropshire, a guy I met a half-hour before at my favorite bar, about America, race and why we can't seem to get anything right. Later on, me and Will talk with journalist/editor Adrienne Johnson Martin (aka one of my old bosses) about the state of contemporary journalism and how dangerous and deadly it's gott...

The Sour Hour, June 20, 2018 (Steve Haruch)

December 17, 2018 19:44 - 1 hour - 85 MB

In this episode, I did what I could to pay tribute to a great man. I talk about my experiences with Jim Ridley, the late critic and editor of Nashville Scene, whose film writing has been compiled in a new book, People Only Die of Love in Movies (https://www.amazon.com/People-Only-Die-Love-Movies/dp/0826522068). Writer Steve Haruch, who also edited the book, joins me in saluting Ridley and his work. I also play music from Elvis Costello, Bruce Springsteen and Run-DMC (all Ridley faves). As f...

The Sour Hour, June 13, 2018 (Chris Nashawaty)

December 17, 2018 19:38 - 59 minutes - 81.7 MB

I'm just gonna come out and say it -- I talk about suicide. The events of the past week made me go on a long, introspective rant at the top of this week's ep. So, I'm just letting you know now not a lot of it is gonna be funny. But, don't worry -- later on in the show, I talk about comedy with Entertainment Weekly film critic Chris Nashawaty, who has recently written a new book, CADDYSHACK: THE MAKING OF A HOLLYWOOD CINDERELLA STORY. And since we discuss CADDYSHACK, I play some tunes by Mr. ...

The Sour Hour, May 30, 2018 (Sarah Cooke/Alex Wukman)

December 17, 2018 19:24 - 58 minutes - 80.6 MB

This one was a minor success. My guests for this week's ep are Cardi B-loving journalist/Free Press Houston founder Alex Wukman and his lovely, Smartfood-eating wife, geophysicist Sarah Cooke. I basically interrogated them about their marriage, what they find attractive in each other, the state of journalism and why music videos are a dying artform. At the top of the show, I rant about the Rockets, Roseanne, Drake & Pusha T and that Russian journalist coming back from the dead. I also tell a...

The Sour Hour, May 23, 2018 (Dirty & Nasty)

December 17, 2018 19:20 - 59 minutes - 81.3 MB

This one was quite rowdy. I started the show off by going off on the Royal Wedding, the NFL, cops, Stormy Daniels and why I need Preparation H medicated wipes these days. Later on, I talk to Houston hip-hop group Dirty & Nasty. Actually, I talk to Nasty for most of the show -- Dirty was late and didn't show up until the last 10 minutes. Anyway, we talk about their latest album Knowledge Is Queen, and I also talk to Nasty on how to properly embarrass his preteen daughter. BTW, I play music fr...

The Sour Hour, May 16, 2018 (Flash Gordon Parks)

December 17, 2018 19:16 - 56 minutes - 78.2 MB

It's another music-less episode. I once again was greeted with a malfunctioning euro deck, which means I couldn't play any music or any bit of audio during this week's episode. I did manage to fill up time ranting about all these white folks calling the cops on non-threatening black people, the Cardi B-Azealia Banks beef and how uncomfortable the new movie Book Club made me. After that, I talk to local DJ Flash Gordon Parks about his new podcast (http://mixcloud.com/flashgordonparks), how he...

The Sour Hour, June 6, 2018 (Patricia Blackwell/Tracey Meyer)

December 17, 2018 19:11 - 58 minutes - 80.5 MB

I gotta learn to stop flying off the handle when a mess-up happens in the studio. A brief snafu happens on this week's ep when I bring local artists Tracey Meyer and Patricia Blackwell to the mic. After that brief descent into chaos, I eventually talk to them about their respective artwork and how it is being women in the art world. As for my opening rant, I go off on Trump (of course!), XXXTentacion, J Prince for scaring everybody, STAR WARS fans and people who have spontaneous sex. On the ...

The Sour Hour, November 14, 2018 (Amy Lynch Kolflat)

December 15, 2018 22:57 - 58 minutes - 80.4 MB

It's one zebralicious episode. First off, I talk about Stan Lee, Trump getting testy, the Lamar High School shooting and how I would like Karina Longworth to accept my apology. Later on, I speak to Amy Lynch Kolflat, a local real-estate dealer known for her love of anything zebra-print (yes, even Little Debbie Zebra Cakes). We talk about how she serves as a realtor, art-car enthusiast and, even, a therapist on occasion. As for music, I play music from Jill Scott (of course!), Pink Sweat$ an...
