This week, we talked to UK journalist, author & manager Ralph Moore, who chose the documentary about Amy Winehouse, AMY, to discuss. We talk about the line you have to walk managing artists, Amy’s parent’s new documentary Reclaiming Amy, The Frank album, Mark Ronson, the Coventry Music scene, how the film is one of the best representations of what it is like to be hounded by the paparazzi and what has changed with the UK press since Amy’s life, how they acquired the footage in the film, seeing Amy Winehouse live, how the film is like a home movie where Amy is looking you in the eyes, how the film does not romanticize Amy’s life or her addictions, the trials of being a public figure, aligning the morals of the artist with the art, Radiohead, the pressures of being a true icon, the early adopters of Nirvana and Oasis, seeing a band you love on the cusp of breaking through, the UK music press and how it has changed over the years, can you manage an artist and still be a friend, art and commerce, Amy and Tony Bennett’s moment together in the film and so much more.

So join us on this week's Revolutions Per Movie as we discuss one of the most personal looks at an artist ever made.

My guest this week is Jim Gavin (the creator of AMC’s incredible series Lodge 49 and author of Middle Men), who chose to discuss the Jawbreaker documentary Don’t Break Down. We talk about the band’s grip on their fans, the eventual backlash against Jawbreaker, lyrics that destroy you, the Masonic world and the genesis of Lodge 49, East Coast punk vs. West Coast punk, Lilies/Broadcast/Stereolab and other sonic rabbit holes, creating imaginary mentors, the legendary Jabberjaw/L.A. scene, creating your own mythology about a band, obsessing over Blake’s lyrics, the nature of imploding bands, the concept of selling out and Nirvana’s success, music as time travel, looking for a specific sound and hiring a private detective to find a specific song.

So please don't turn your back towards the band on this week's Revolutions Per Movie!!!

In this bonus episode, I’m joined by horror filmmaker Jim Hickcox & film critic Craig Wright of Split Tooth Media, who will be turning us on to the heavy metal horror that is SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE 2! We discuss the backstory behind the film, how it got changed by Roger Corman, how critical the horror movie community is, creating dance sequences in movies, famous monsters vs. fangoria, promotional items that were sent to video stores, horny boy creeps in horror movies, sequel success rate, the garage band members that are the heroes of the movie, whether a guitar with a drill on the end is the best murder device in a film ever, as well as the fact that Steve Wynn of Dream Syndicate is a definite six-degree part of this film!
