Viral videos and Youtube stars lose their glamour when compared to the Peter and Raymond audiotapes, a 90’s pop-culture phenomenon that was perhaps the first media of its kind to establish a cult following before the creation of the Internet.

An official selection at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, “Shut Up Little Man: The Audio Misadventure” is a documentary that examines the lasting legacy of two elderly drunkards named Peter and Raymond.

In 1987, two college graduates, Eddie Lee Sausage and Mitchell D., move into a bright pink San Francisco apartment comically referred to as the “Pepto Bismol Palace.” From the neighboring flat, Eddie Lee and Mitchell frequently overhear two elderly men verbally and physically abusing one another in a drunken stupor.
