WITH FANGO'S EDITOR-IN-CHIEF PHIL NOBLE JR. JOINING THE DISCUSSION
"This week," writes Chris Slusarenko, co-host of the podcast Revolutions Per Movie, "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."
Meanwhile, at Fangoria, Phil Noble Jr. writes:
Until I get off my ass and start a podcast of my own, I’m happy any time I’m invited onto someone else’s. Being invited onto someone else’s podcast to talk Phantom of the Paradise? I’ll do that all day. It’s one of my favorite, most formative movies, and my love for it has, over the years, given back to me more than I can measure.So I was very happy indeed to join Chris Slusarenko’s Revolutions Per Movie podcast (along with with visual artist and musician Perry Shall) to geek out for an hour and change over Brian De Palma’s 1974 film, which has in my lifetime gone from box office dud to secret handshake to out-of-print cult favorite to beloved classic of the canon.
Chris and Perry share my love for the film, so if you wanna hear people argue, this isn’t for you. But if you wanna hear three dudes unabashedly love on a once-forgotten glam rock musical horror epic, head here (or wherever you get your podcasts) to get an earful of it!
