Ep. 4: Penelope Spheeris at Cassell's Music from "Wayne's World"

On Location with Jared Cowan

In this excellent episode "Wayne's World" director Penelope Spheeris returns to Cassell's Music, the filming location of the Aurora, IL music store where Wayne (Mike Myers) is denied permission to play "Stairway to Heaven" and Garth (Dana Carvey) gets his moment in the spotlight during an epic drum solo. We talk with Penelope about the common themes that run through her films like the celebrated punk/metal documentary trilogy "The Decline of Western Civilization," her 1983 film "Suburbia," "The Little Rascals" and, yes, "Wayne's World." Also, we make a connection between a couple of her films that no one else has made before; she compares Donald Trump to a Rose Queen during his cameo in "The Little Rascals"; Ed, the owner of Cassell's Music, sits in to tell an amazing story about the Fender guitar seen in the film.
