Until I get off my ass and start a podcast of my own, I’m happy any time I’m invited onto someone else’s. Being invited onto someone else’s podcast to talk Phantom of the Paradise? I’ll do that all day. It’s one of my favorite, most formative movies, and my love for it has, over the years, given back to me more than I can measure.
So I was very happy indeed to join Chris Slusarenko’s Revolutions Per Movie podcast (along with with visual artist and musician Perry Shall) to geek out for an hour and change over Brian De Palma’s 1974 film, which has in my lifetime gone from box office dud to secret handshake to out-of-print cult favorite to beloved classic of the canon.
Chris and Perry share my love for the film, so if you wanna hear people argue, this isn’t for you. But if you wanna hear three dudes unabashedly love on a once-forgotten glam rock musical horror epic, head here (or wherever you get your podcasts) to get an earful of it!
And if you’re a fan of the relationship between films and music, Revolutions Per Movie is a must-listen. Each week, Chris interviews guests way more exciting than me, delving deeply into musicals, music-themed films, music documentaries and music videos; you end up learning a lot while being deeply entertained. I was a fan before I was a guest!
Thanks to Chris for having me on; if anyone else wants to talk about this movie on their podcast, you know where to find me…
