Depp Impact

Jenna Kuerzi
With live theatre on pause, Jenna Kuerzi pivoted her show "Johnny Depp: A Retospective on Late-Stage Capitalism", started watching all of Johnny Depp's movies, created a podcast, and is inviting a bevy of interesting people to talk about those movies! A discussion about all 91 of Johnny Depp's illustrious film, television, and music video appearances. A celebration of the movies we love, the movies we forgot existed, and a complicated human being we're allowed to have complicated feelings about. A way to fill the time void caused by the COVID-19 crisis. www.jennakuerzi.com

HI EVERYBODY! No, Depp Impact has not fallen into the abyss, never to return! It's here, baybeeee and shorter than ever!

In this episode, we live react to the 1986 short "RPG" and then Jenna realizes half way through that she can also record a quick snippet on Jack and Jill. Brief updates abound in th...

For No Good Reason w/Dane Eissler

Part II of our Depp Dive into the world of Gonzo with pod fave Dane (@dmeissler) to talk about Ralph Steadman and his very British ideals in a very American movement.
