Ralph #5- Pop Culture For The Fun Of It

Ralph #5- Pop Culture For The Fun Of It

With the iconic 91-year-old, Hollywood hitmaker Lou Adler on the cover, this latest issue of Ralph lives up to its 'Pop Culture For The Fun Of it' strap line and more. Adler – who's responsible for some of Sam Cooke, The Mamas & the Papas, Carole King and Neil Young's biggest hits, also brought The Rocky Horror Picture Show and comedians Cheech & Chong to our screens, co-owns The Roxy Theatre on Sunset Strip, and is best mates with Jack Nicholson – has been shaping pop culture for nearly a century. As well as Lou, the magazine is once again chock full of brilliant features including US-indie rocker Blondshell, comedian Harriet Kemsley, rapper Fekky on his new life as a farmer, a behind the scenes of Ben Wheatley's bonkers new film, Japanese Sukeban wrestlers, cult-artist Mr Bingo and his shop, a deep dive on the music of Calgary's Stampede rodeo festival, music from Miso Extra, a look at brilliant theatre production How To Win Against History and loads, loads more. 

About Ralph:

A brand new pop culture focused independent title. Looking on the brighter side of life while harnessing the chaotic freedom of 90s magazine design and content, Ralph brings together a host of fantastic writers, photographers and illustrators from around the world. Issue 1 features cult actor Burn Gorman on the cover in his first ever in-depth profile, while The Simpsons writer and showrunner Bill Oakley tells us what fast food menu items the characters from the iconic show would be. It also has the internet’s favourite chef Olivia Tiedemann, a deep dive on how Japanese music has influenced The West for decades from The Quietus’ Deputy Editor Paddy Clarke, as well as Flavor Flav, Nobel Prize winner Jon Fosse, Mia Khalifa, the coolest night out in Brooklyn, an investigation of the little-known LA Takeover subculture, a fashion shoot at Mumbai Comic Con and loads, loads more. Great journalism alongside hilarious illustrations, absurdist photo features, and plain oddities, Ralph is celebrating pop culture… for the fun of it.
