About this episode
Hey everyone...welcome to our bi-monthly ENCORE PRESENTATION of classic REVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE episodes from the vault! On this early episode of Revolutions Per Movie, I was joined by VERA DREW (writer, director, and star of T HE PEOPLE'S JOKER ), who picked a film that had a massive influence on her art, Pink Floyd: The Wall . It seems totally incredible that at the time of recording this episode, there was a legal battle between the release of her film and DC Comics, trying to squash its release. In the end, goodness prevailed, Vera's incredible film was released to worldwide praise and awe. I can't wait to see what Vera brings to us next (although we do discuss her remaking The Wall... yes! YESSS!!!) (Episode 8 originally aired on Nov 2nd, 2023). The original podcast show notes: This week, we talked about Pink Floyd: The Wall with actor/director/writer Vera Drew ( The People’s Joker, Tim & Eric, Sasha Baron Cohen’s ‘Who Is America?’ ). We discussed how both the album and the film ended up being one of her biggest inspirations in making her film, how Pink Floyd has influenced her life immensely (including her name change), the battle over the release of The People’s Joker, copyright law and fair use, the band Negativland, working with child actors, as well as her time working with Tim & Eric. Join us as we ask…is there anybody out there...is there anybody out there…is there anybody out there…on this week’s episode of Revolutions Per Movie!
