An incredible interview with a man who went from co-creating "Welcome Back, Kotter" to going deep into the LA Punk scene to making Disney Movies

The Runaways movie Joan Jett doesn’t want you to see.

 Alan SacksAlan Sacks from the podcast “Peter and the Acid King,” co-created “Welcome Back, Kotter.” Alan Sacks gave John Travolta his big break. He produced films for the Disney Channel and the Jonas Brother. Most Recently, Alan Sacks managed the kid rock phenom ” .” But for me, he’s best known for the Ray Sharkey LA Punk Rock art house flick, duBeat-e-o.

On the podcast, Alan Sacks goes into great detail about his experience in the punk scene and what brought him there.

I talked to Alan Sacks and I brought up that I thought he was the manager of the kid heavy metal band, ā€œUnlocking the Truth.ā€ Alan immediately set me straight and let me know that he was let go. Alanā€™s options are his own. I know nothing of this situation. I invite the parents of the kids or the management to rebut what Alan said. But again, itā€™s his opinion. Not mine or the showā€™s.

Penelope Spheeris, imagine entertainment.Ā

Eric Drysdale (writer, “The Colbert Report”), Jimmy Dore (host, “Comedy and Everything Eles”) and Adam Spiegelman proudly resent “The Apple.”

It’s a movie musical about the devil, disco and elements stolen from better films like “Tommy,” “Rocky Horror” and “Xanadu.”

This 1980 movie takes place in the way future date or 1994. The whole world is run by disco music, angular clothing, rectangle glasses and entertainment. I guess they didn’t know that Napster was only 5 years away.
