RJ and I interviewed the host of Street Art Throwdown (a ridiculous reality show premiering in an hour on Oxygen). Definitely my favorite interview weāve done this year.
We saw this as an interesting opportunity. On the one hand, we didnāt want to give airtime to a mainstream, commercial network to push their product, especially when that product is the sugar coated commercialization of an art form that we respected for challenging the consumer industry. On the other hand, we couldnāt pass up the opportunity to engage in a critical discussion, and maybe have a laugh along the way. At the end of the day, we respect Justin Bua (the showās host) for being serious and engaging us, even if we disagree.
