Episodes

  • This week, we are joined by comedian, musician, and the proud creator of 31 Videos In One Day, JOE KWACZALA, who picked the Lonely Island music comedy biopic POPSTAR: NEVER STOP NEVER STOPPING to discuss. We also talk about what leads the charge for Joe—comedy or music, Joe’s obsessions with classic rock radio, getting your rock shirts at JcPenneys, Joe cracking classic rock station trivia contests and winning beer as 14 year old from them, the shield of comedy lyrics, how difficult it is to recommend comedy films to others, why the film bombed at the box office, looking at the cameo stuffed film from Ringo Starr to Mariah Carey, the original script of the movie, the steady hand of comedy genius Tim Meadows, Bill Hader as Zippy the Guitar tech, the fake songs in the film that hold up as actual songs, U2’s music appearing on appliances and how the film parodies that, what would be our dream product to sell out too, sticking with one artist’s career, the myth of backstage pre-show ritutals, what’s missing from comedy club stages and what is the load in times for a comedian, Man Man, Gruff Rhys and his paper shredder, big and small rock spectuals on stage,Ted Nugent stupid stage antics, Chris Redd, the comedy chops of Seal in this film and more.


    So please put on the laser beam helmet, and let’s hit the stage for this week’s REVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE!!!

  • This week, we welcome the most rock person to ever appear on the show—the legendary comedian, actor, musician, and shredder DAVE HILL, who picked THE ROLLING STONES ROCK AND ROLL CIRCUS to discuss. We also discuss how Exile On Main Street should be the only album played in restaurants, Dave’s inner fifteen year old, Crab Bucket Syndrome and the “Law Of Jante”, which is more taxing: touring as a musician or as a comedian, what commericals would have played on this British TV show, do the Stones pull off their bad boy/satanic imagery, missing the Jethro Tull boat, the origins of the film and why it remained in the vault for almost 30 years, who else should have been in the show, Led Zeppelin, tattoo nightmares, The Action, the original tour concept with The Small Faces & The Who, the first recorded instance of Ian Anderson standing on one leg, Richard Meltzer, getting scared by album artwork, Gary Panter and Songs For Swinging Larvae, Tommy Iommi subbing in here for Jethro Tull, why Dave Hill thinks Marianne Faithfull steals the film, hanging out with Yoko Ono, Robert De Niro and a toolbox, Charlie Is My Darling and the Irish Rolling Stones riots, and Dave has a last minute regret on this very special episode of Revolutions Per Movie.

  • This week, we celebrate Revolutions Per Movie’s 1 year anniversary with filmmaker and actor OWEN KLINE (A24’s Funny Pages), who chose one of the most anticipated music films to discuss on the podcast, THE WHO’S TOMMY. 


    We discuss the chicken/egg of the movie vs. the lp, the baked bean mythology, Ken Russell’s pre-filmmaking history from being a ballet dancer to dodging the war, Russell’s early BBC Composer films, Richard Lester and Lindsay Anderson, Robert Crumb and Fantagraphics Books, being a cultural dinosaur, the concept of selling out, the precision of the film that betrays its midnight movie status, Who’s Next, how the Tommy LP kept The Who from breaking up, the ARP synth, the use of repetition in both the LP and the movie, transgressive music, how and why Townshend kept changing the shape of the story of Tommy, the aborted projects LIFEHOUSE & THE ANGELS that used elements to make the film Tommy, could we pick up the concept album plot before seeing the movie (and even after seeing it!), Ann-Margret’s Oscar-nominated performance, the amount of sweat that appears on actors in the film, the surprising debut acting turn of Roger Daltrey, the UK white boy blues movement, Russell’s choice of having the actor sing, including Jack Nicholson’s strange turn, Keith Moon’s approach to Uncle Ernie, Chris’s concept double album Colonel Jeffrey Pumpernickel, Tina Turner’s incredible performance as the acid queen and how Mick Jagger was in talks to do the role instead, does Elton John and Tina turner steal the film, the strange final 1/3 of the film, Dauhgltrey’s perfect cartwheels, acting through song and so much more!


    We are also joined by special guest Barry Winch, who starred in TOMMY as ‘Young Tommy’!!! He illuminates us both about being a child on the set of the strange film, what it was like working with Ken Russell, Ann-Margret & Oliver Reed, how they got honest performances out of him as a child actor, how The Who protested going to the premiere unless he was invited (since he was underage), how Ken Russell himself accidentally cast him, his family’s acting history, playing hide and seek with Oliver Reed, what it felt like being on the set of that movie, what the Tommy props from the film have been auctioned at, why he wasn’t allowed to wander around the set, his favorite memories and some moments of being afraid as well.


    All this and more as we celebrate the one year anniversary of REVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE!!!
