ENCORE PERFORMANCE: "THIS IS GWAR!" w/ Chaki

Welcome to an ENCORE PRESENTATION of classic REVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE episodes from the vaults. As we near Halloween, it feels appropriate to revisit my first Halloween episode, which focused on the ***THIS IS GWAR*** documentary. But this is also a fascinating episode because this is before my guest, **Chaki**, and I knew we would become **Urgh! A Music War** soulmates (with our A Very Opinionated Look At Urgh Patreon series and our touring Professors Of Urgh live presenation/screenings). It's a sweet look at two goofballs who are headed toward a great friendship, not to mention the endless car rides where we STILL break down Urgh even after watching it over and over. And be sure to support Chaki at Bandcamp with his new vinyl LP, ***From L.A. To The Bay***. If you're an ***Oh No It's Devo*** fan...it is essential!!! **(Episode 7 originally aired on Oct 26th 2023)** **ORIGINAL SHOW NOTES:** This haunted Halloween week, we talk to the L.A.-based musician Chaki, who is also the legendary host of **The Hollywood Forever Punk Rock Graveyard Tour**. We discussed the recent music documentary, This Is Gwar, and talked about how the two main creators of the band never buried the hatchet, the arrest of Oderus and censorship in music, the Gwar aesthetic and mythos, and what it’s like to discover your new favorite band while watching Jerry Springer. So does the cursed offspring Gor Gor doth dane to spoil our moment of triumph and glory? Find out on this week’s episode of Revolutions Per Movie. **Chaki:** https://chaki.bandcamp.com/ www.instagram.com/punkrockgraveyardtour/ www.instagram.com/chakifunkwizard **A Very Opinionated Look At Urgh A Music War Podcast:** https://www.patreon.com/c/RevolutionsPerMovie **REVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE:** Host Chris Slusarenko (**Eyelids**, **Guided By Voices**, owner of **Clinton Street Video** rental store) is joined by actors, musicians, comedians, writers & directors who each week pick out their favorite music documentary, musical, music-themed fiction film, or music videos to discuss.
