Alex Ross Perry, Scott Kannberg, and Robert Greene are here to discuss their film Pavements, whether or not it's a comedy, documentary subjects who reflect pluralities, how the band reacted to aspects of the in-progress film they saw, who was responsible for giving the film its final narrative structure, deceptive complexity and intellectual malarkey, why it’s good that Pavement maniacs are already seeing and contemplating this strange film, the forthcoming Pavements soundtrack and a significant Pavement announcement, other future plans, and much more.
