This week, we talked to Grammy Nominated Visual Artist & Musician Perry Shall & Fangoria Magazine’s Editor In Chief Phil Nobile Jr about arguably their favorite film of all time, Phantom Of The Paradise!!! We discuss the film’s incredible songs and performance by Paul Williams, Brian DePalma’s homages and obsessions within the film, the ties (and lawsuit) associated with this film and Led Zeppelin, the 70s obsession with the 50s, our love for the character BEEF, our childhood discovery of this film, the iconic visual identity of the film, which came first Kiss or the movie, one fan’s obsession with restoring the film to its original state, bootlegging cable, the power of the indie video horror movie shelf, Jessica Harper’s iconic performance, the mask design of the Phantom and the Japanese Manga movement around it, slumber party watch parties, being scared of rock concerts and their potential violence, style vs substance, who is the mysterious billed ‘rock freak’ & how one lone city in the world has never stopped loving this film.
So let's discuss the man who made it, the girl who sang it and the monster who stole it on this week's episode of Revolutions Per Movie!!!
