Poorman’s 15 Minutes of Fame: Kristopher Roe (The Ataris)
“We just shot the video for it [new single, “Car Song”] this week, and the cool thing about that is we actually used the car, the Volvo, from Breaking Bad’s final episode in the video, the one that, like, Walter White steals and goes back to seek his revenge on Jack and the gang. And I bought that from the assistant director. And, now my best friend who runs the studio that I record at owns it. And so the video kind of revolves around me going to an Airbnb that’s run by Walter White and his wife.”
Air date: 04/21/2025
