ENCORE PERFORMANCE: "THIS IS GWAR!" w/ Chaki 27.10.2026 1h 4mWelcome to an ENCORE PRESENTATION of classic REVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE episodes from the vaults.As we near Halloween, it feels appropriate to revisit my first Halloween episode, which focused on the THIS IS GWAR documentary. But this is also a fascinating episode because this is before my guest, Chaki, and I knew we would become Urgh! A Music War soulmates (with our A Very Opinionated Look At Urgh Patreon series and our touring Professors Of Urgh live presenation/screenings). It's a sweet look at two goofballs who are headed toward a great friendship, not to mention the endless car rides where we STILL break down Urgh even after watching it over and over. And be sure to support Chaki at Bandcamp with his new vinyl LP, From L.A. To The Bay. If you're an Oh No It's Devo fan...it is essential!!! (Episode 7 originally aired on Oct 26th 2023)ORIGINAL SHOW NOTES:This haunted Halloween week, we talk to the L.A.-based musician Chaki, who is also the legendary host of The Hollywood Forever Punk Rock Graveyard Tour. We discussed the recent music documentary, This Is Gwar, and talked about how the two main creators of the band never buried the hatchet, the arrest of Oderus and censorship in music, the Gwar aesthetic and mythos, and what it’s like to discover your new favorite band while watching Jerry Springer.So does the cursed offspring Gor Gor doth dane to spoil our moment of triumph and glory?

"YELLOW SUBMARINE" w/ Roger Clark Miller 24.09.2026 1h 3mYes! It took a member of Mission of Burma to finally pick a Beatles film to discuss, three years into the podcast! Totally honored to have the person behind so much of my favorite sonic wizardry, Roger Clark Miller, on Revolutions Per Movie.We discuss the mysterious lore behind the Horrible Truth About Burma live LP and how it might be the high water mark of their tape manipulator (Martin Swope), the moment when Roger first heard the elements of Burma come together, the journey to get Peter Prescott a microphone so he could also sing in the band, Sproton Layer--Roger’s band he started in 1969 with his brothers when they were barely teenagers, playing Sun Ra records to weed out the drummers who auditioned for Burma, the influences on the chaos inside the beauty of their songs, why Roger thinks Sproton Layer was Burma through a psychedelic lens rather than a post-punk one (and how they interconnected artistically), the hope baked within The Summer Of Love, Roger's first band Factor and why he had to leave them behind, Silver Apples, recording an improv session with your brothers while your parents go square dancing, how a 70 year old modern dancer heard Sproton Layer and decided their music needed to be published in score format, how Roger felt he finally became a good guitar player by the time they recorded Burma's VS, the making of the Vacu Trem and Vacu Fuzz guitar pedals, the Vacuheads, Roger's scientific family and living with monkeys in their backyard, how Roger writes lyrics and Syd Barrett’s influence on him, how frustratingly great Yellow Submarine is (of course The Beatles have a fantastic animated film in them!), how George Harrison's drone pop tracks were often the highlight for us, Roger seeing the film on acid in the theater, The Beatles' animated shows, George's song "Blue Jay Way" and its lyrical influence on Roger’s new record (The Green Man), getting off the Beatles train and the butcher cover, how different The Stones are versus The Beatles in dealing with their legacy and more!Roger Clark Miller:rogerclarkmiller.com/The Green Man:rogercmillermusic.bandcamp.com/album/the-green-manSproton Layer:sprotonlayer12xu.bandcamp.com/album/press-your-hand-and-the-whole-room-fluctuatesREVOLUTIONS 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.

ENCORE PRESENTATION: "VOX LUX" by Logan Lynn 25.08.2026 52mHey everyone...welcome to our bi-monthly ENCORE PRESENTATION of classic REVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE episodes from the vault!I love this episode because my initial experience of seeing this upsetting, darkly funny film (by the director of The Brutalist) was completely thrown overboard due to my guest Logan Lynn's harmful experience within the music industry when he was younger (which is the subject of his new documentary, The Pain And The Power). A fantastic discussion on a polarizing film that's a hard watch, but never leaves you.(Episode 25 originally aired on Feb 29th 2024).ORIGINAL SHOW NOTES: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/youtube.com/watch?v=M3Rkoe_UlR4REVOLUTIONS 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.
