Hey everyone...in honor of our upcoming 100th episode (!!!), I'll be occasionally re-releasing some of my favorite past conversations. This one was special and powerful--the incredible Ann Magnuson coming on and being incredibly heartfelt, funny, vulnerable, and truthful on the show. I love that I never know where the show is going to go and this episode is the perfect example of why I feel so honored to do Revolutions Per Movie. (Episode 48 which originally aired on August 8th, 2024).The original podcast show notes:This week, we talk to legendary actor, musician, performance artist, and writer ANN MAGNUSON (Bongwater, The Hunger, Making Mr. Right, Cabin Boy, Pyramid Club, Club 57) about the influential cinema jazz documentary Jazz On A Summer's Day. We discuss the performances in the film (including Thelonious Monk, Anita O' Day, Chico Hamilton, Eric Dolphy to name a few performers), what it was like for Ann to inhabit Anita O'Day for the audio book of her autobiography, first impressions of Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music, Ann's programing at the legendary NYC Club 57, Ann's new song 'Ghost Cat' with producer Don Dixon, her early life in West Virginia, D.I.Y. & Ann's SurRURALism techniques, success in the underground being a dirty word, the return of Vulcan Death Grip, being a professional walk-a-thoner, photographer & filmmaker Bert Stern, how the film brings a visceral sense of childhood for Ann, how Stern made the whole project happen with his own equipment and financing, Ann's parents and the dry Jazz club scene in West Virginia, filming Making Mr. Right and the new wave sensibility of the 80s, how Monk's performance is presented in the film, Chris scats the Anita O' Day finale of ‘Tea For Two' from his memory of repeated listening of the film at his video store, the white privilege throughout in the film, midnight Mahalia Jackson performances, how protest music is needed now more than ever and Ann reads from Anita O'day's memoir about the performance that was filmed for this movie and how it changed O'Days life.

This week, we are joined by Sue Carpenter, the author and director of 40 WATTS FROM NOWHERE, which documents her pirate radio stations in SF and LA.We talk about what made her want to turn her book into a documentary, how her station also became a theatrical experience, the incredible amount of documentation she did considering it was a pirate radio station, what makes starting a traditional radio station almost impossible, her incredible roster of DJs from Mike Watt to Keith Morris, climbing over her bed to broadcast, people triangulating the station's signal to try to find her, theft and the unknowns of running the station, getting artists like The Jesus & Mary Chain and Spiritualized to the station's secret location, the film Pump Up The Volume, how the FCC found out about the station and the final showdown for the station.So head to the left of the dial on this week's Revolutions Per Movie!SUE CARPENTER:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nnNX1AeB_ghttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/224894.40_Watts_from_NowhereREVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE:Host Chris Slusarenko (Eyelids, Guided By Voices, owner of Clinton Street Video rental store) is joined by actors, musicians, comedians, writers & directors who each week pick out their favorite music documentary, musical, music-themed fiction film or music videos to discuss.

Hey everyone...in honor of our upcoming 100th episode (!!!), I'll be re-releasing a few of my favorite past conversations on Tuesdays.This one was a lifelong dream for me: getting to talk to DEVO's Gerald V. Casale about their body of work--a band whose musical and visual identity showed teenage me that it was o.k. to be different, weird, and skeptical. Jerry does not suffer fools gladly, so I was quite nervous going into the interview, but once he realized I wasn't going ask about the flower pot hats, we both relaxed and took a serious deep dive into how he and DEVO altered the world forever, as well as how lonely that could be for them. Episode 35 originally aired on May 9th, 2024.The original podcast show notes:This week, the one that started it all for me, Devo's Jerry Casale, joins me on the podcast to talk about Devo's film and video legacy. We discuss the origin story of their first short film, the films that influenced Casale and Devo's aesthetic, their early jobs and the pressures of Ohio, how ‘Bonnie & Clyde' influenced the 'Beautiful World' video, meeting collaborator Chuck Statler, where Rod Rooter's dialogue came from, Club Devo and the difficulties making their merchandise, Jerry tells the plot of the Devo feature-length film script that never got made (including one that was going into production with Francis Ford Coppola & one with William Friedkin), how they directed their conservative looking extras and General Boy, meeting their idols, how they constructed their live shows, phone calls from the video Commissioner of MTV, censorship, working with Soundgarden, Bruce Connor's ‘Mongoloid' short film, transgressive art, people being scared of Devo, Kent State & the Vietnam War as the antecedents of Devolution, crawling out of the basement, the communal mindset of the members of Devo, the antagonistic nature against Devo from interviewers, having fun with the audience while rubbing their nose in it, the groundbreaking & primitive ‘Oh No It's Devo' tour, making ‘The Men Who Make The Music' and having your own action figure made of you.So...peek-a-boo...let's all get devolved together on this week's Revolutions Per Movie!JERRY CASALE (videos, action figures, music, art):https://www.geraldvcasale.com/DEVO:https://www.clubdevo.com/REVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE:Host Chris Slusarenko (Eyelids, Guided By Voices, owner of Clinton Street Video rental store) is joined by actors, musicians, comedians, writers & directors who each week pick out their favorite music documentary, musical, music-themed fiction film or music videos to discuss.

This week, I am joined by Jake Fogelnest, who at the age of 14 hosted MTV's Squirt TV, and later collaborated with Will Ferrell, Sarah Silverman & Billy Eichner. We take a look at the Bee Gees/Peter Frampton mess-a-thon theatrical feature SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND.We also discuss how Jake turned his childhood cable access show (shot in his bedroom!) into a full-fledged MTV show, getting his hair cut on TV by Kim Gordon, the day Cypress Hill showed up to his bedroom, the difficulties of the MTV show getting cancelled and his struggle with addiction, how the Beatles were less protective of their legacy than we thought, the military aspects of Sgt. Pepper's, how we never noticed the military aspects of Sgt. Pepper's, the legacy of Robert Stigwood's powerhouse career, Grease, Robin Gibb's grandiose delusion that this film's music was going to replace the legacy of The Beatles' original, how this was Steve Martin's film debut, how it felt watching the film as kids, the movie Car Wash, the PG-13 version of Saturday Night Fever, the cult musical film The Apple, the fight scene between Peter Frampton & Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, the incredible Alice Cooper cult leader scene, Sandy Farina as Strawberry Fields, speculating if anyone ever cried watching the film, Xanadu, Billy Preston saving the day, our alternate endings of Sgt. Pepper's, who are all the artists that appeared in the film's big finale, finding peace of mind from just hanging out in a video store and more!So let's run from that wicked Mean Mr. Mustard and his two latex-clad gimb-bots on this week's episode of Revolutions Per Movie!

This week, I'm releasing this extra-special episode from the Revolutions Per Movie Patreon for everyone to hear!It's an incredible conversation with a complete legend—Lesley Woods of Au Pairs, who has also been an immigration lawyer in the UK for over thirty years. Anyone who has been listening to the URGH! A MUSIC WAR PODCAST knows that Lesley's performance blew open my and Chaki's head with her slashing music and sexual politics lyrics…something that was new and necessary for young kids witnessing this film. So getting to talk to Lesley was an honor.We talk about the origin of Au Pairs at a bus stop, Lesley's political awakening in college, being banned by the BBC, how the podcast helped Lesley watch the film for the first time, the ever-present blood on her guitar, the band's first 7” Kerb Crawler, the way the band moved around on stage, what the band wanted to do differently on their 2nd LP, why the band gravitated towards music to dance to that was still protest music, the difference for Lesley writing music then and now, the incredible Urgh lineup they played with Gang of Four, Mekons & Steel Pulse, the trouble with music journalism and its attitudes towards women in the industry, how Lesley turned her back on music for a spell, why she turned to immigration and refugee law in the UK, freedom of expression and the right to hold your opinion, Thatcher's Section 28 law banning queer literature and references in schools, Gavin Friday of The Virgin Prunes, how Lesley found her way back to music and performing with members of Thurston Moore's band & Big Joanie, plus Lesley Woods explains why it really was an actual MUSIC WAR!!!If you enjoy the show, please consider joining at patreon.com/revolutionspermovie to support this completely independent endeavor (plus get access to over 170 episodes of Revolutions Per Movie, a 7" flexidisc with Ann Magnuson, Vanessa Briscoe Hay & Peter Buck, stickers, and more).

This week's episode was recorded in front of a live audience on Feb. 7th, 2025, at Cinema 21 in Portland, Oregon. Beloved composer, musician, and iconic actor PAUL WILLIAMS joined us to discuss the film we screened that night, PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE, as well as his impressive and long career in film and music.

He also shares fascinating stories about his prolific work output, including composing for Jim Henson, how Burt Reynolds got the idea to put him in Smokey & The Bandit, writing songs for the Carpenters, Barbara Streisand & Ishtar, meeting songwriting deadlines while touring with Liza Minelli, how it felt when Phantom superfans Daft Punk reached out to him to collaborate on their music, and so much more.And as if that wasn't enough, there's also a live performance from Paul's latest collaborators, PORTUGAL. THE MAN, which includes a lovely Phantom Of The Paradise tip of the hat.Thanks again to all who donated their time and energy to make this beautiful event happen!

For today's episode of Revolutions Per Movie's Pavement Week (Episode #6 out #5…right?), I am joined by actor Michael Esper who played the lead role (Essem) in the musical Slanted! Enchanted! A Pavement Musical that is featured in the new documentary Pavements. We discuss how Michael first got involved in the project and whether or not he felt the musical was earnest or a put-on, the mixed bag that often is a jukebox musical, whether or not his fellow actors knew about Pavement and their music before becoming part of the musical, jamming over 40 Pavement songs into 80 minutes of stage time, Michael feeling like he was losing your mind on stage, the plot and musical theater tropes used in the Slanted musical, could this format have worked for any other band besides Pavement, Michael working with David Bowie on one of his last creative stage projects before his death, how much freedom does a stage performer have from night to night, Michael getting to share an emotional moment from the stage of the musical with his sister (who was also a huge Pavement fan), the absurd leap that an audience has to take with the performers in a musical, how the Slanted musical was an actual love letter to the band and more!So bring on the major leagues with this soon-to-be Tony-nominated podcast episode of Revolutions Per Movie & its subsidiary Pavement Week.MICHAEL ESPER:@airstreamrallyREVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE:Host Chris Slusarenko (Eyelids, Guided By Voices, owner of Clinton Street Video rental store) is joined by actors, musicians, comedians, writers & directors who each week pick out their favorite music documentary, musical, music-themed fiction film or music videos to discuss.

This week we continue Pavement Week on Revolutions Per Movie with episodes celebrating Pavement to the max. For today's episode (#4 of 5) we talk to filmmaker Alex Ross Perry who directed the new kaleidoscopic documentary Pavements. We discussed Alex's formative years working at the legendary Kim's Video in NYC, how Alex broke away from traditional music documentaries to make Pavements, the truth hidden within the fiction of the biopic segments of the film, the earnest nature of musical theater and creating the Pavement jukebox musical, seeking music video bootlegs in the 90s, how the surprise viral hit of Pavement's 'Harness Your Hope' changed the trajectory of the film, creating the myths of a band like Pavement, the band's restrictions for the making of the film, how Joe Keery of Stranger Things was always the first choice to play Stephen Malkmus in the film, how Alex purposely wrote the worst possible Pavement biopic using real dialogue from Pavement, the Lollapalooza mud slinging show, how to know when a potentially endless documentary is done, Malkmus' reaction to the Pavement Museum that was built for the film and more.So, as they say in the film, let's give 100% of the 50% that we know is possible from Pavement on episode 4 of Pavement Week on Revolutions Per Movie.PAVEMENTS:https://pavements.official.film/REVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE:Host Chris Slusarenko (Eyelids, Guided By Voices, owner of Clinton Street Video rental store) is joined by actors, musicians, comedians, writers & directors who each week pick out their favorite music documentary, musical, music-themed fiction film or music videos to discuss.
