'SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND' w/ Jake Fogelnest

This week, I am joined by Jake Fogelnest, who at the age of 14 hosted MTV's Squirt TV, and later collaborated with Will Ferrell, Sarah Silverman & Billy Eichner.  We take a look at the Bee Gees/Peter Frampton mess-a-thon theatrical feature SGT. PEPPER’S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND.

We also discuss how Jake turned his childhood cable access show (shot in his bedroom!) into a full-fledged MTV show, getting his hair cut on TV by Kim Gordon, the day Cypress Hill showed up to his bedroom, the difficulties of the MTV show getting cancelled and his struggle with addiction, how the Beatles were less protective of their legacy than we thought, the military aspects of Sgt. Pepper's, how we never noticed the military aspects of Sgt. Pepper’s, the legacy of Robert Stigwood’s powerhouse career, Grease, Robin Gibb’s grandiose delusion that this film’s music was going to replace the legacy of The Beatles' original, how this was Steve Martin’s film debut, how it felt watching the film as kids, the movie Car Wash, the PG-13 version of Saturday Night Fever, the cult musical film The Apple, the fight scene between Peter Frampton & Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, the incredible Alice Cooper cult leader scene, Sandy Farina as Strawberry Fields, speculating if anyone ever cried watching the film, Xanadu, Billy Preston saving the day, our alternate endings of Sgt. Pepper's, who are all the artists that appeared in the film's big finale, finding peace of mind from just hanging out in a video store and more!

So let's run from that wicked Mean Mr. Mustard and his two latex-clad gimb-bots on this week's episode of Revolutions Per Movie!
