Mike Patton Recommends These Albums and Movies to Cure Your Quarantine Boredom

Well, this sure is helpful! Mike Patton has supplied Rolling Stone with a list of albums and movies he recommends for people to help pass the time while stuck in quarantine. I’m’a be honest: I have not heard a single one of these records, because I’m just not that hip. BUT… I am proud to say I’ve seen all of the movies on Patton’s list save for two (Barrabas and Marooned, in case you’re wondering), and the man definitely has good taste in cinema. Which isn’t that surprising.

ANYWAY, you can check out the lists below, and/or head over to Rolling Stone to read his explanations for each selection.
