My guest this week is comedian/writer/actor Jon Gabrus (High & Mighty, 101 Places To Party Before You Die TV Series & Staying Alive podcast w/ Adam Pally), who chose to discuss the Mike White/Richard Linklater/Jack Black force of nature School Of Rock.

We discuss Jon’s surprising new health show with Adam Pally (his partner in debauchery), Jon and Adam visiting Portland for their TV series 101 Places To Party Before You Die, the best health advice he’s gotten so far, the music action films Miami Connection and Stunt Rock, the never ending inspiration that is American Movie, how easy it is to forget that School Of Rock was written by Mike White (The White Lotus) and directed by Richard Linkletter (Dazed & Confused), Jon being a stunt double for Jack Black, our first memories of seeing Jack Black, the Jack Black backlash in the 2010s, Mike White as an actor, how musicians, comedians and athletes all pine for each others’ careers, when did musicians start doing stage banter, Pulp, did either of us have cool teachers growing up, the experience of performing in front of your parents, long form improv, Jack Black begging Led Zepplin to use "Immigrant Song" in the movie, selling out as an artist, how Jack Black was originally going to write the music for the film, pre-show rituals and much more!

So let's raise our goblets to the gods of rock on this week's episode of Revolutions Per Movie!
