good night, and good luck

It was never my intent to become a writer or be allowed to have the luxury to play Legos with words. I was, first and foremost, a "professional artist" in the Romper Room refuge of the skateboard industry. Then Jeff Tremaine came along in 1992. He'd just taken over the... Continue reading

the dimitry elyashkevich photo show interview!

Stop the presses! A phrase that is now as outdated as rollerblades, I suppose, but I bring you great tidings of joy: Dimitry Elyashkevich is having a "grand re-opening" of his photo show at the Door Gallery (next door to the world famous Burgundy Room) in Hollywood, California. So, if... Continue reading

the great dimitry elyashkevich photo show

Be it my lowly Wisconsin origins or an unfortunately shallow embankment of brain cells, I'm certainly not above a little journalistic Cheez Whiz. So it's without much care or concern that I make the widely clichéd Warhol-attributed reference, "In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes," because anyone,... Continue reading

i survived action point: a photographer's tale

Half the fun of wondering if you swing to and fro on the mentally unstable side of life is to pit yourself in a one-on-one, right brain vs. left brain interview, which I'm about to self-indulge in now. The topic of discussion will, mostly, be about my experiences while working... Continue reading

the official chris pontius "action point" interview

Rick Kosick: So how does it feel to be in a movie with Johnny Knoxville again? Chris Pontius: It felt great. I was so stoked that he asked me to be in it, because it’s the biggest role I’ve ever had in a scripted movie and just filming with any... Continue reading

crazy legs: rock steady for life and puerto rican relief

There's a long story and a short story, but let's just simply say that through an old friend of ours (hello, Joselle!) we know Rich "Crazy Legs" Colon, an original member—and current President—of the Rock Steady Crew. We're talking some serious breakdancing roots from the heart of the Bronx in... Continue reading

the ten year anniversary of knoxville's urethra

Unlike pigs, time does fly; or, unlike Travis Pastrana, Johnny Knoxville does not backflip. Yes, unbelievable though it may seem, 10 years ago, maybe not to the day but close enough for idiomatic horseshoes and hand grenades purposes, our fearless leader rose to the Evel Knievel occasion and, well, fell...

getting to know you: tony hinchcliffe

I’ve been going to the Comedy Store for a couple of years now and it’s seriously my favorite place to go and hangout. You can catch me there just about every Monday and Tuesday night, and it all started because I would go and watch the Roast Battle. There’s something... Continue reading

last call: the 2017 gorilla flicks holiday party

This year, like every other for the past three to be precise, Tremaine locks down a location and rounds us all up from our various corners of the universe for a family-style night of drinks, food, and fun—the pinnacle of fun being a certain "White Elephant" gift exchange game that...

funding t-moe's ye olde destruction

They always say you can never be too clever, but you can—and annoyingly so. I should know, I do it all the time, but I just can't seem to help myself from routinely tripping over my dick. "So it goes," Kurt Vonnegut would say if he could say, but the... Continue reading

cyber monday wheeling and dealing

Greetings! Seasonally speaking, that is, because we're here to help fan the flames that fuel the economy with a few gifty (and perhaps even thrifty!) ideas for your friends, family, loved ones, and any other sentient lifeforms you deem worthy of presenting a present. For the most part these items... Continue reading

florida man gets bit in the dick by a bear

Okay, first off, I know that's a classic click-bait grab, but so it goes. This is the internet and it's a dog-eat-fucking-dog world to claim eyeballs, attention, and maybe even a goddamn viral sensation for all of 15 forgettable minutes! Again, so it goes. But the thing is, a Florida... Continue reading

meet jackass fan artist jericho vilar

Kosick: Who are you? Jericho: My name is Jericho Vilar. I’m just an average artist that has never done anything outside of Instagram, to be perfectly honest. Where are you from? I was originally born in the Philippines, but I grew up in Glendale, California. I relocated to Santa Ana... Continue reading

keeping it between the ditches with roger alan wade

Today on the blog, Rick Kosick talks to one of our personal favorites: Roger Alan Wade, a man who needs no real introduction if you're a lifer in the lore of jackass. If you don't know Rog, well hell, then you're in for a real treat of a kick in... Continue reading

knate lee: from amateur to big time professional!

You remember Knate, right? The skinny little blond-haired kid who kept getting in Rick Kosick's shots while Johnny Knoxville hobbled around in his "Squid Suit" for the first season of jackass on MTV in 2000? Well, that kid Kosick grumpily decried as an "amateur" went on to make it big... Continue reading

a denim discussion with happy tom of turbonegro

When you are born into this world you are a blank slate, give or take some bullshit with genetics, and although I can't claim to know what happened to Happy Tom in the nurture state of his youth it must've been something pretty awesome. Not only is he one of... Continue reading

summer loving with bam margera

This past summer, Bam Margera came down to Tremaine’s lake house and spent a few days lake lifing. During that time, Kosick asked him if he’d be up for an interview and here’s the final answer: an interview! Consider this an hors d’oeuvre to the forthcoming Epicly Later’d featuring a...

reminiscing with our shady prop master

JxPx Blackmon wasn't there from the very beginning of jackass in 2000 on MTV, but it was close. Damn close. But what's funny is that he didn't come into it as the shady prop guy we would all soon know him to be—at first he was just a shady PA.... Continue reading

to the memory of craig mack

The other day, and quite sadly so, we learned that Craig Conolly, aka Craig Mack, a friend and former crew member of ours, had passed away. We first met Craig during production on jackass the movie in 2002, when it came down to shooting the "professional" looking part of the... Continue reading

director patrick o'dell on the making of dumb

Rick Kosick: So how did you get this gig to direct Dumb: The Story of Big Brother Magazine? Patrick O’Dell: Hulu called Jeff [Tremaine], and I don’t know if Jeff thought of it, you know, “let’s make a documentary about my magazine,” but I think Hulu thought, “let’s make one... Continue reading

last call: the dumb screening at cinefamily

In Los Angeles. Last Friday. And Saturday, actually, but that was more of a public affair, whereas the previous night was the VIP extravaganza (with an extra helping of the vaganza). Anyway, as always, here is a smorgasbord of people photos to pick through and feast upon, kind of like... Continue reading
