REVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE

This week, we talked to Jon Raymond (author of Denial, Freebird; screenwriter of Old Joy, First Cow & Showing Up w/ Kelly Reichardt, Mildred Pierce w/ Todd Haynes) about The Source Family documentary, which follows the rock n’ roll hippie California cult of the same name. We also talk about Jon’s work with Kelly Reichardt, why so many cult leaders also want to be rock n’ roll stars, the legacy and legitimacy of Yahowa 13’s music recordings & how The Source Family might have been The Monkees of the California cult scene.So get your stars aligned and your multidimensional soup ready for this week’s episode of Revolutions Per Movie.JON RAYMOND:https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Denial/Jon-Raymond/9781982181840https://plazm.com/bios/jon-raymond/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, we talk to the two hosts of the fictional classic rock station comedy podcast, Jason Gore & Geoff Garlock of 108.9 The Hawk, about their music film pick, The Who's 'The Kids Are Alright.'  We argue over what is the greatest Who period of all time, how the band's inner tensions helped make them even greater, how a first-time director/superfan pulled off this film, Townshend's use of alienation & enlightenment through his interviews, Zeppelin vs. Who, being stuck at midnight movie screenings, Jason's radio broadcasting past on an actual classic rock station in the South, and trying to win over Geoff who had never seen this movie until now!

This week, we talk to indie pop dance legend and Kill Rock Stars recording artist, Logan Lynn, who picked the extremely intense music narrative film, Vox Lux, to discuss. We discussed the realities and tropes of music films, Lynn’s early years as a teenager on a major label, the lack of protection for young artists within creative industries, addressing addiction and trauma in your art, the notion of selling out, backstage rituals, making fun of ‘The Devil’, the Swedish Pop Mafia, how music gets taken out of context, whether or not Natalie Portman a convincing pop icon in the movie and so much more.So get ready to dance through the pain on this week’s Revolutions Per Movie.Logan Lynn:https://loganlynnmusic.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.

Hello everyone…we recorded a special episode of Coffee With Krummenacher about Victor’s times and friendship with Mojo Nixon.  We discuss what it was like being on the road when Mojo was opening for Victor's band Camper Van Beethoven, making split flexi-discs and doing inspired photo shoots together, Mojo and Camper playing The Filmmore together, taking mushrooms and long nights with the man, piss-filled cereal bowls, Mojo’s sweet shamanistic outlook on life, living an authentic life, Mojo’s Camper Van Beethoven cover version, and how Mojo was going to be on the Revolutions Per Movie podcast in a few weeks to talk about a Replacements documentary that he saw in his head that didn’t exist (yet) and the excited email he sent me about his ideas.  It’s a wild and beautiful tribute to a singular, weirdo force that is no longer with us.Normally, ‘Coffee With Krummenacher’ is just one of the exclusive bonus shows we have over at the Revolutions Per Movie Patreon (a podcast where my guests talk about their favorite music documentaries or music narrative films), but I thought we should make this episode available to everyone.  If you’ve enjoyed what you’ve heard, please consider supporting what we do over at patreon.com/revolutionspermovie.  Thank you.MOJO NIXON:https://mojomanifestomovie.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.
