This week we continue Pavement Week on Revolutions Per Movie with episodes celebrating Pavement to the max.
For today’s episode (#4 of 5) we talk to filmmaker Alex Ross Perry who directed the new kaleidoscopic documentary Pavements. We discussed Alex’s formative years working at the legendary Kim’s Video in NYC, how Alex broke away from traditional music documentaries to make Pavements, the truth hidden within the fiction of the biopic segments of the film, the earnest nature of musical theater and creating the Pavement jukebox musical, seeking music video bootlegs in the 90s, how the surprise viral hit of Pavement's 'Harness Your Hope' changed the trajectory of the film, creating the myths of a band like Pavement, the band’s restrictions for the making of the film, how Joe Keery of Stranger Things was always the first choice to play Stephen Malkmus in the film, how Alex purposely wrote the worst possible Pavement biopic using real dialogue from Pavement, the Lollapalooza mud slinging show, how to know when a potentially endless documentary is done, Malkmus' reaction to the Pavement Museum that was built for the film and more.
So, as they say in the film, let's give 100% of the 50% that we know is possible from Pavement on episode 4 of Pavement Week on Revolutions Per Movie.
