    This week, we talked to the actor (House Of The Dragons, 24 Hour Party People, The World’s End), musician (Riding The Low), writer/director (Tyrannosaur, Journeyman) Paddy Considine, about his all-time favorite band (in any universe), Guided By Voices and the documentary Watch Me Jumpstart.  We discuss these mythical legends of Dayton, what it was like for Chris being in the band and working with Pollard, Pollard’s incredible work ethic and output, Paddy’s trip from the UK to visit Ohio for the first time and taking a GBV/Bob Pollard tour of Dayton, the eureka moment of understanding the band, wrapping your mind around Bob's lyrics, the early confusion of why, how and who was recording this music, being under-appreciated by the establishment, GBV's influence on Paddy's acting writing & music, Pollard's legendary mix-tapes, turning people onto the band, the obsession of collecting Pollard's entire discography, beer, basements and talking to Bono about Guided By Voices.So, disarm the settlers, and let’s go deep into the world of Guided By Voices on this episode of Revolutions Per Movie.PADDY CONSIDINE:Riding The Low:https://www.ridingthelow.co.uk/Tyrannosaur:https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B007ZYJT1U/ref=atv_dp_share_cu_rLIMITED EDITION REVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE SHIRT:revolutionspermovie.bandcamp.comREVOLUTIONS 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.
