'POPSTAR: NEVER STOP NEVER STOPPING' w/ Joe Kwaczala

This week, we are joined by comedian, musician, and the proud creator of 31 Videos In One Day, JOE KWACZALA, who picked the Lonely Island music comedy biopic POPSTAR: NEVER STOP NEVER STOPPING to discuss. We also talk about what leads the charge for Joe—comedy or music, Joe’s obsessions with classic rock radio, getting your rock shirts at JcPenneys, Joe cracking classic rock station trivia contests and winning beer as 14 year old from them, the shield of comedy lyrics, how difficult it is to recommend comedy films to others, why the film bombed at the box office, looking at the cameo stuffed film from Ringo Starr to Mariah Carey, the original script of the movie, the steady hand of comedy genius Tim Meadows, Bill Hader as Zippy the Guitar tech, the fake songs in the film that hold up as actual songs, U2’s music appearing on appliances and how the film parodies that, what would be our dream product to sell out too, sticking with one artist’s career, the myth of backstage pre-show ritutals, what’s missing from comedy club stages and what is the load in times for a comedian, Man Man, Gruff Rhys and his paper shredder, big and small rock spectuals on stage,Ted Nugent stupid stage antics, Chris Redd, the comedy chops of Seal in this film and more.So please put on the laser beam helmet, and let’s hit the stage for this week’s REVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE!!!JOE KWACAZLA:https://joekwaczala.com/REVOLUTIONS 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.
