The Ben Solomon Interview with Throwing Fits

The Ben Solomon Interview with Throwing Fits

Author: Throwing Fits April 3, 2024 Duration: 2:12:28

Our interview with Ben Solomon is a movie. Ben—filmmaker and artist—was finally badgered enough (non-derogatory) to make his pod debut on why it's so hard to get good jeans, Kodak Black's Judaism, the spots he's been directing for Supreme for over a decade and how that creative process goes down, what's in the vault, filming Katt Williams during Covid, how content and consumption has changed, his time spent running with the IRAK crew and getting deep on the friends he's lost along the way, getting sober and watching The Big Lebowski 90 days in a row, his love of documentaries and his own feature-length, Gremlins 2: The New Batch, working with his friend and mentor the legendary Clayton Patterson and the new book they're working on, some of the spiciest NYC takes you've ever heard from a real New Yorker, what goes through one's head when their girl proposes, photographing the Throwing Fits x Blackstock & Weber lookbook at the Cloisters and much more on Ben Solomon's interview with The Only Podcast That Matters™.

In a world saturated with polished takes and predictable opinions, Throwing Fits offers a refreshingly unfiltered conversation. This podcast operates from the premise that two self-proclaimed grown dirtbags can provide some of the most genuine commentary on contemporary culture. The hosts navigate the ever-shifting landscape of style, art, and what it means to be a person with interests in today's world, all without taking themselves too seriously. Listeners are invited into a space where high and low culture collide, where a deep dive into a fashion trend can sit comfortably beside a rant about daily absurdities. The tone is less instructional and more observational, driven by a shared curiosity and a willingness to question the status quo. You'll hear the hosts grapple with the zeitgeist, often finding humor and insight in the most unexpected places. Their dynamic is the core of the show-a blend of camaraderie, playful ribbing, and moments of surprising sincerity that makes each episode feel like catching up with your most opinionated, yet oddly relatable, friends. It’s a dialogue about the things that shape our tastes and identities, delivered with a distinct voice that refuses to be neatly categorized. For those tired of formulaic discussions, this podcast provides a much-needed dose of personality and authentic, meandering conversation that somehow always circles back to what’s interesting, weird, or worth talking about right now.
