TV & Film
Welcome the SEASON PREMIERE of Let’s Taco ‘Bout! After a long summer hiatus, it’s time to get back in the swing of things. This episode was recorded LIVE at Back Lot 605’s SiouxperCon Film Festival! I am joined by NUR-D, Matt Allen, a rapper from the Twin Cities who loves “geek” culture. We chatted about finding our “in” with pop culture, his love for music, and how the murder of George Floyd inspired him to action and creative release. We then dove into the 1999 action comedy, Mystery Men.Follow NUR-D across social media under the username NurdRocks for concert dates, music release info, and more!
