Initial Report - Duran Duran in the Media since 2000

 The reason behind this report is to show that Duran Duran has had a lasting impact and impression on our society.  A good measure, I believe, is how often they are mentioned in popular media like TV shows and movies.  This is Duran Duran Worldwide's official initial report on this, covering TV shows and movies since the year 2000.  All numbers are estimated based on available data.  Multiple instances where a theme song was involved (or something showed on a main character's wall for multiple episodes) were only counted once.  Thank you to all the fans that submitted information to us for this!

Total number of mentions in TV shows and movies since the year 2000:  88

Total number of TV show mentions:  60

Total number of Movie mentions:  27

Earliest instance, TV:   Daira, S4:E10

Latest instance, TV:  Mystery Science Theater 3000, S13:E3

Earliest instance, Movies:  Ride, 2000

Latest instance, Movies:  Ready Player One, 2018

Charts over time:

The spike in 2004 to 2009 we believe is due to the success of the Astronaut album and Red Carpet Massacre Album, both having achieved Peak Chart Positions in the UK and US for the years 2004, and 2007 respectively.

Interview with the Fabulous Morgan Richter

Image
Forward/Bio written by Josie Beaudoin, Interview by Kirk Harrington Note from Editor:   After reading this interview for editing purposes (I had very little to edit!), Kirk asked me if I would be interested in writing this introduction for it. I have to admit, I squeed a bit – I am fangirling over Morgan Richter. What an amazing individual! And you know she’s super-smart, because she is a Duran Duran fan.   Born in Spokane, WA, Morgan attended USC’s screenwriting school and upon graduation, worked in L.A. in the television industry. While that didn’t ultimately pan out for her, she was also writing blogs, and has a YouTube site ( https://www.youtube.com/user/strangesicksad ) with article-like video analyses of various facets of GenX life. She has also written several novels, and her first non-fiction book, Duranalysis. She is also the founder of Luft Books, an independent publishing company.
