Today, the Kicking the Seat Podcast welcomes Kip Gire of the brand-new This is Your Song podcast for a look at Richard Lowenstein's revelatory documentary, Mystify: Michael Hutchence! The film, which hits DVD and Blu-ray from Shout! Factory tomorrow (3/31), follows the INXS lead singer's rise and fall using only archival and home-movie footage, mixed with testimonial voice overs. The result is a beautiful and surprising portrait of an artist whose desire to stay true to himself became warped in the face of fame and fortune.
In addition to digging into the film's highs and lows (both narrative and technical), the guys talk about Kip's adventures in podcasting--including interviewing his indie-rock heroes about their careers and deep connections to their work, as well as the odd challenges (and opportunities) of launching a show at the dawn of a global pandemic.
