In this week's bumper-packed episode, we're joined from Hollywood by Jonathan X, whose directing career has spanned over 30 years, and worked with the likes of Blink-182, Esperanza Spalding, Foo Fighters, Yo Yo Ma, and Ozzy MF Osbourne! Catch an exclusive insight into the production of live TV broadcasts direct from the control room! As Wayne Campbell himself once said: "Camera 1, Camera 2, Camera 1, Camera 2..." And as usual, the boys dive into the unknown depths of their unchosen genres as they discuss Testament's creative 'Titans of Creation' and Sondheim's destructive 'Assassins' with more bickering than a Lemmon/Matthau flick! Produced, Mixed and Edited by AW. https://www.thetonastontales.com/listen -- https://www.patreon.com/bloomingtheatricals - https://twitter.com/thrashntreasure https://linktr.ee/thrashntreasure ***** Help support Thrash 'n Treasure and keep us on-air, PLUS go on a fantastical adventure at the same time!
