This week, we are joined by documentary filmmaker RYAN WORLSEY to discuss her film STAND BY FOR FAILURE: A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT NEGATIVLAND. We discuss how Ryan was introduced to the world of Negativland and what she thought of it, how she decided the best way to tell their complicated but surpringly emotional story, the fair use doctrine and copyright law, are Negativland really a band, David Wills (aka The Weatherman) and his astonishing talents & laughter through it all, Negativland's origin story, how Negativland’s current live show We Can Really Feel LIke We’re Here might be their most powerful work to date, the band signing and then getting sued by SST Records, their long-running radio show Over The Edge, what Negativland did with band member Don Joyce’s ashes after his passing, can you still culture jam today, plunderphonics, how Negativland’s perceptions of the world are formed through their music and then mirrored back to us, Richard Lyons' and his alter egos, the U2 lawsuit against the band, the majesty of Casey Casem swearing, the resilience of the band through all their hardships, seeing the inside of The Residents’ recording studio in the film, the Christianity Is Stupid murder myth, how artist’s are still getting ripped off, what it’s like being the subject of a documentary, where Ryan & Negativland stand on AI, and the cultural desert that is the suburbs.

Is there any escape from noise? Find out on this week’s episode of Revolutions Per Movie!!!
