Shut Up, Little Man!
In this episode, we dive into the bizarre and compelling world of Shut Up, Little Man! – An Audio Misadventure, the 2011 Sundance documentary that chronicles how two friends accidentally created one of the first viral audio sensations. When Eddie and Mitch moved into a San Francisco apartment in the late '80s, they began recording their neighbors—Peter Haskett and Raymond Huffman—as the two older men screamed, cursed, and brawled night after night. What began as a coping mechanism turned into a cultural phenomenon, spreading through cassette tapes, comic books, stage plays, and eventually, this documentary.
We explore the ethical gray areas of voyeurism and artistic exploitation, the strange intimacy between Peter and Ray—who despite their violent fights, also cared for one another—and how their private lives became unexpected public spectacle. Featuring clips from the film and a discussion on the origins of “found sound” media, this episode asks: where do we draw the line between fascination and invasion?
Tune in as we unpack Shut Up, Little Man! and the strange story behind one of the weirdest audio time capsules in pop culture history.
