On this week’s bonus episode of Revolutions Per Movie (released for fun on Chris' birthday), we are joined by director Jeff Feuerzeig (The Devil And Daniel Johnston, AUTHOR: The JT LeRoy Story, Half Japanese: The Band That Would Be King) to discuss a very mysterious, litigious, and glorious documentary KISS IN CADILLAC, MICHIGAN 1975! We get to discuss Jeff’s origin story with Kiss, his childhood insights into their albums, how a high school assistant football coach got Kiss, at the height of their KISS ALIVE exploding fame, to come to his town to celebrate Kiss and play a show in their gymnasium, being kids in 1975 trying to recreate their dangerous stage show, the complicated legal battles surrounding the rights to this incredible film, the mystery of who actually made the documentary, the power and mythology of Kiss on pre-teens in the 70s, Creem and Circus magazine, Jeff gives his deep cut must-see documentary list, our love for Paul Stanley stage banter, how Jeff accidentally discovered this documentary, Ace Frehley’s laugh being the greatest thing ever recorded in human history (and how the other members of Kiss hated it), Jeff’s rabbit hole search to find the film after it had been stripped off the internet, the controversial figure The Gooch and the Kiss Army’s thoughts on him, the loophole in the Digital Millenium Copyright act, Kiss making their own version of the documentary with ESPN and how it pales in comparison, bootleg records, Springsteen Vs. The Grateful Dead, KISS=Keep It Simple Stupid, the Sex Pistols reunion tour, WFMU, a Ramones hologram tour, and more!

So shout it out loud with us on this bonus episode of Revolutions Per Movie!!!
