Watching movies on the big screen was once a mainstream, shared cultural experience. Think of the crowds that turned out for the Harry Potter movies or Titanic. Those days are gone. So wrote New York Times columnist Ross Douthat last month, and today we ask longtime film reviewers Derrick Bang and Matias Bombal what they think about this idea. Is the change due only to competition from other media, or is something else at work? What does it matter, regardless? Derrick, an author and frequent guest on Davisville, writes for the Davis Enterprise and his blog, Derrick Bang on Film. Matias posts reviews at Matias Bombal’s Hollywood and on KAHI radio, and formerly managed the Crest Movie Theatre in downtown Sacramento.

The distinctive character of jazz is rooted in the unique history and culture of New Orleans, Lousiana. When Preservation Hall in New Orleans was first established 60 years ago, it was one of the few spaces in the segregated South where racially-integrated bands and audiences shared music together. Grammy-nominated trumpet player Branden Lewis shares his journey from playing in his elementary school concert band to being a member of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, his advice to aspiring musicians, and how he and his fellow musicians got through tough times during the COVID-19 pandemic and Hurricane Ida. Then visit the city of New Orleans — the birthplace of jazz — and home to Creole and Cajun culture and cuisine, Mardi Gras, and second line parades.

Racquetbangers is a Davis-based indie rock duo comprised of Timur Katsnelson (piano/vocals) and Robert Polon (guitar). Seeking refuge from the cutthroat music scene in their hometown of Los Angeles, the boys moved north in fall 2017 and never looked back. They soon found themselves fully immersed in the rich Davis culture and began writing songs about their surroundings. Barely scraping by on a diet of Ali Baba, Vampire Weekend, and pucks, Racquetbangers finally caught their big break with the release of their first demo, "Annie Lin." Hopes of an international stadium headline tour were crushed with the untimely outbreak of COVID-19, but the boys are back and buzzing in early 2022.
During the interview, we will play their most popular releases to date, along with a special tribute song to the events in the Ukraine. |
