Meet Famous Eddie Plein – the biggest fashion icon you never heard of. Eddie was the visionary behind grillz, the culture-changing dental jewelry that came to dominate the zeitgeist — celebrities, rappers, athletes, models, anyone who is anybody wears grillz. In his feature documentary, Mouth Full of Golds, Lyle Lindgren showcases the rise and fall of Famous Eddie’s Gold Teeth and the players surrounding grillz. The documentary expertly utilizes archival footage interpolated with modern interviews and reenactments to envisage this history. Mouth Full of Golds stars Famous Eddie Plein, Goldie, Mike Tyson, A$AP Rocky, Dolly Cohen, Michèle Lamy, Ferg, and more. For Lindgren, the film is a testament to independent filmmakers and a love letter to grillz and grillz culture. 

Lindgren joins The Rolling Tape to discuss his lifelong fascination with grillz, how he became friend and collaborator to famous British Rapper Goldie, his journey as an independent filmmaker, and his experience rummaging through the archives for footage.
