#176 Ralph D'Amato (Tony Hawk's Pro Skater)

If you grew up playing the Tony Hawk's video games then you are going to love this week's episode - it'll be a proper trip down memory lane. Matt's guest for Episode 176 of Life In The Stocks is Ralph D'Amato, producer of the first eight Tony Hawk's video games, and also producer of the new feature length documentary film about the franchise, Pretending I'm A Superman, which is live now on all major streaming sites and available to watch on Amazon Prime. In his conversation with Matt, Ralph talks all about the history of the games, working with Tony Hawk, the cultural impact of the games, the legendary soundtracks, the cast of characters, including the Birdman, Steve Caballero, and Rodney Mullen, and the new documentary about the games.
