This week I’m joined by comedian/podcaster/director Scott Aukerman (Comedy Bang Bang, Between Two Ferns, R U Talkin' R.E.M. RE: ME? w/ Adam Scott) as we delve into the recent David Bowie documentary, Moonage Daydream.

We also discuss Scott’s parents searching his teenage room for dangerous music, Frankie Goes To Hollywood and Prince, Scott’s divisive (but beloved) U2 and R.E.M. podcasts with Adam Scott (Parks And Recreation; Severance), when we've felt like an artist has spat in our face, Dick Cavett, R.E.M.'s Dead Letter Office, The Dead Milkmen, meeting Bono, how we both first got obsessed with Bowie, getting scammed by compilations and bootlegs, the interview style of David Bowie, chaos in Scott's work, watching Bowie on endless escalators, The Sparks Brothers doc, the jaw-dropping performance of "Cracked Actor" in this film, seeing Bowie live, Nine Inch Nails, Bowie’s feelings on the Let’s Dance era of his life, The Glass Spider tour, Bowie's final album Blackstar, the occasional difficulties in continuing to follow an artist when they want to change artistically and more!

So let's watch in awe as David drinks milk in the back of a Rolls-Royce on this week's episode of Revolutions Per Movie
