Hello! My Name is Blotto: The Movie(2025)
"They were fun, but they weren't a joke." - Martha Quinn
Hello! My Name is Blotto: The Movie Synopsis
Scrappy documentary about a band that flew too close to the sun to make it really big. Albany, NY's Blotto rose from the ashes of the Star-Spangled Washboard Band and scored an unlikely hit with I Wanna Be A Lifeguard in the early 80's thanks in part to getting airplay on MTV when the network launched August 1, 1981. The film follows their struggles to land a major label deal despite huge success with touring and releasing their own EPs and Albums. First-time director Rob Lichter (aka Bert Blotto) puts together a funny, heart-felt portrait of the musical pranksters that is sometimes heartbreaking despite all the laughs.
Hello! My Name is Blotto: The Movie (2025) is a documentary and music film directed by Rob Lichter, released on May 2, 2025 with a runtime of 1h 45m. It stars Paul Jossman, Bill Polchinski, Keith Stephenson and Greg Haymes.
