04/04/24 • 67 min
This week, we talk to Los Angeles filmmaker, actor, and former programmer at the legendary New Beverly Cinema, Julia Marchese, about one of the greatest rock n’ roll films of all time, BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS!!! We also talk about getting Russ Meyer’s autograph, the incredible stories behind the music written for the film, the need (more than ever) for repertory cinema houses, the Sex Pistol film that Russ Meyer almost made, actors who don’t blink, which of this film's characters would survive in a modern-day horror movie, a debate on whether the band manager (Harris) is a drag or a necessary evil, the magic of seeing a Russ Meyer film for the first time, not being able to tell if the actors are good in this film or not, daydreaming about owning props from the movie, Roger Ebert’s incredible script and dialogue for the movie and so much more!
So come with the gentle people and spread love across the land on this week’s episode of Revolutions Per Movie.

'THE SOURCE FAMILY' w/ Jon Raymond
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.

'CHARLIE IS MY DARLING' w/ Jeff Feuerzeig
This week, we talk to the director Jeff Feuerzeig (The Devil And Daniel Johnston, Half Japanese: The Band That Would Be King, Author: The JT LeRoy Story) about one of his favorite music documentaries, the 1965 Rolling Stones Tour film, CHARLIE IS MY DARLING, a film missing until 2012. We discussed how Jeff creates his legendary projects, what makes this rarely-seen Stones doc so essential and overlooked, the era of rock band managers being household names, loving “Maraca” Mick Jagger, Pennebaker’s Dylan film Don’t Look Back, the sweet spot of 65-66 Rolling Stones and the riots they are causing at their Ireland live shows, psychedelic soup, Bowie & Kubrick, Spacemen 3, Bo Diddley covers, controlling the image of The Stones, The Who, The Monks, the mystery behind the disappearance and discovery of this lost film, rock n’ roll bladder control, cinema verite, and Jeff shares a few other surprises!
So let's rush the stage for a piece of Brian Jones' hair on this week's episode of Revolutions Per Movie!
