Today we continue our series of interviews with internet celebrities from Los Angeles with Matt Riddlehoover. Matt found success on one of the first big social media sites- MySpace. Remember MySpace?
In the summer of 2006, Matt Riddlehoover became famous on MySpace for the video trailer for his short film “To a Tee,” a dark romantic comedy about a guy who falls for the same type of man over and over again.
For Matt, being prominently featured on the social media site led to the lead role in “Watch Out,” a dark film about an irresistible narcissist who could only make love to himself. The film’s campy narrative and graphic portrayals of self-love and violence has audiences divided over the film’s merits.
“Watch Out” comes out on DVD November 24.
Listen as Matt talks about the controversy, what it took to get ready for those sexy scenes and how his mother reacted to the movie.
Matt’s also working on a unusual documentary “Gaze,” a collection of audio interviews with 20 artists talking about how they redefine beauty and how these ideas of beauty affect everyone.
We’re also joined by his kooky friend, Champagne!! Champagne!!, a visual artist who combs Los Angeles in search of unusual garbage to turn into works of art. By the end of the show, she changes her name. Will it stick?

Oh I remember that creepy movie – I’ll never be able to get that image out of my head of him taping his picture to the blowup doll and then having his way with it.
Champagne sounds like a lot of fun…wish I was in LA to go to Micky’s with you tonight!
HAVE FUN!!!!
He’s bringing the blow up doll to the party tonight! So we can all have a turn with it.
