Happy holidays, everyone! I wanted to thank everyone who has supported and listened to the show, all of you incredible folks who have gone the distance & subscribed to the show's Patreon (again, thank you thank you thank you!), written kind reviews, turned other people onto the show, and generally just cheered this show along as I work on the show. I also want to give much love and thanks to my co-host Chaki The Funk Wizard, all my incredible guests who bring such goodness to the show, and the incredible Jeff T. Owens for all his graphic work.
So, for this holiday week, I wanted to share an episode that initially came out on the Revolutions Per Movie Patreon. Tom Waits seems like a good holiday or end-of-year choice, and my guest Galen Howard is fantastic with his love of Waits' lore and the making of this very, very strange 'concert' film.
To all who already support the Patreon, I hope you are enjoying the Flexidisc, and heads up that another special physical music gift is coming your way next month just for you! You keep the show going so thank you...I do not take your support lightly.
And for any of you who have not joined the Patreon, I hope you'll consider it. The show is completely independent, and this is the best way to support the show (plus get all the killer bonus extras!!!) patreon.com/revolutionspermovie or gift it over at patreon.com/revolutionspermovie/gift
Looking forward to bringing you even more in 2025 and again thank you for enjoying the show.

This week, we talk to actor GALEN HOWARD (THE BOOK OF BOBA FETT, BROOKLYN 9-9 and the star of music videos by Weezer and Disclosure) about the TOM WAITS âconcertâ film BIG TIME. We discuss what itâs like being part of the Star Wars cinematic universe, why Tom Waits is Galenâs all-time favorite artist, the long-ago arthouse vibe of the film, what works and doesnât in the film, how Waits slowed down his voice in the film to create unease for the audience, Waitsâ original stage play, the jarring interstitial moments in the film, musicians Marc Ribot and Ralph Carney, the acting of Tom Waits, the early traditional albums of Waits, why itâs so hard to find the film, Film Noir fixation, how Waits has influenced Galenâs creative process, Rust Never Sleeps, the staging and lighting decisions for the film, what songs were sadly excluded from the film, dancing in movie aisles, the growth and journey of Waitsâ Frank character, Robert Wilson, the lack of documentation of Waitsâ visual work and stage performances, and even Tom Waitsâ lawsuit against Doritos.
So get your tickets early, before the usher waltzes you away, on this week's episode of Revolutions Per Movie!!!

Our deep dive leads us into one of the strangest and funniest episodes ever of Revolutions Per Movie, where we take apart (and at times destroy âwith loveâ) the showâcomplete with the mind-twisting commercials of the day. We discuss how the host, quadruple artistic threat Sammy Davis Jr., is likely the greatest TV host of all time, Rachelâs deep knowledge of 60âs and 70âs pop culture and how she channels it seamlessly into her own art, the sadness of going to fancy restaurant as a kid with your parents, what a bummer Peter Lawford is in this episode and his vomit inducing version of Aquarius, Sammy Davis Jr. and Mama Cass Elliott killing it while performing together, the various 'mouthwash for lovers' that were being sold at the time of this episode, The Groove Tube, family bands, The 5th Dimension cop show that Rachel dreamed up, The Rolling Stonesâ first U.S. TV appearance on The Hollywood Palace where they got roasted by host Dean Martin, The Lawrence Welk Show, the incredible Emmy-winning production design of the show and how they were originally going to put a swimming pool floor into the theater, a very influential jazz musician-themed Kool cigarette commerical, getting a cigar sent to you in the mail, dicking around and the smells of old recording studios, working with Ted Leo & Juliana Hatfield, the Free Love movement, Redd Kross, soul legends The Dells, the Alka Seltzer politcal ad, Mad Men, the end of the variety show era, what the fuck is GrapeBerry Juice, Rosey Greer and his soul song, The John Cassevettesâ styled commercial for Tylenol PM, The Electric Company & Rhoda, & the electrifying conclusion to this whirlwind show full of jaw-dropping strangeness.
Be sure to watch the episode along with us in the show notes below so you can also scream in terror at Peter Lawfordâs counterculture attempt at being The Now Thing!!!

This week, we celebrate Revolutions Per Movieâs 1 year anniversary with filmmaker and actor OWEN KLINE (A24âs Funny Pages), who chose one of the most anticipated music films to discuss on the podcast, THE WHOâS TOMMY.
We discuss the chicken/egg of the movie vs. the lp, the baked bean mythology, Ken Russellâs pre-filmmaking history from being a ballet dancer to dodging the war, Russellâs early BBC Composer films, Richard Lester and Lindsay Anderson, Robert Crumb and Fantagraphics Books, being a cultural dinosaur, the concept of selling out, the precision of the film that betrays its midnight movie status, Whoâs Next, how the Tommy LP kept The Who from breaking up, the ARP synth, the use of repetition in both the LP and the movie, transgressive music, how and why Townshend kept changing the shape of the story of Tommy, the aborted projects LIFEHOUSE & THE ANGELS that used elements to make the film Tommy, could we pick up the concept album plot before seeing the movie (and even after seeing it!), Ann-Margretâs Oscar-nominated performance, the amount of sweat that appears on actors in the film, the surprising debut acting turn of Roger Daltrey, the UK white boy blues movement, Russellâs choice of having the actor sing, including Jack Nicholsonâs strange turn, Keith Moonâs approach to Uncle Ernie, Chrisâs concept double album Colonel Jeffrey Pumpernickel, Tina Turnerâs incredible performance as the acid queen and how Mick Jagger was in talks to do the role instead, does Elton John and Tina turner steal the film, the strange final 1/3 of the film, Dauhgltreyâs perfect cartwheels, acting through song and so much more!
We are also joined by special guest Barry Winch, who starred in TOMMY as âYoung Tommyâ!!! He illuminates us both about being a child on the set of the strange film, what it was like working with Ken Russell, Ann-Margret & Oliver Reed, how they got honest performances out of him as a child actor, how The Who protested going to the premiere unless he was invited (since he was underage), how Ken Russell himself accidentally cast him, his familyâs acting history, playing hide and seek with Oliver Reed, what it felt like being on the set of that movie, what the Tommy props from the film have been auctioned at, why he wasnât allowed to wander around the set, his favorite memories and some moments of being afraid as well.
All this and more as we celebrate the one year anniversary of REVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE!!!
