Great show for music fans of all types! Chris packs in a lot of fun history and information between his own experiences and that of his varied and knowledgable guests. Even episodes about artists you don’t think you like are interesting with all of the woven stories that are discussed. Thank you!

In addition to covering a specific and fruitful pop-culture subgenre (music films and documentaries), it’s hosted by someone who ran a video store for twenty-plus years and is an integral part of Portland’s music scene. All these factors, plus a guest roster of people who have worked in all levels of the film and music industry, results in an informative and fun podcast filled with great anecdotes, insights, and recommendations to check out various bands and movies.

RPM has highlighted some great music documentaries, many of which were new to me.
Chris Slusarenko is the ideal host for a podcast: knowledgeable with insightful questions. Plus he invites great guests and never interrupts them.
rppeterson · Dec 2023
Okay maybe not yet, but with RPM, Slusarenko has achieved the seemingly impossible: a podcast idea no one thought before. Or at least not in a consecutively entertaining and informative manner such as this.
This is as DIY as you can get, with no ads or extraneous fat, but grade A professionalism. Revolutions Per movie has my voice for the best new Podcast of 2023.
Definitely worth checking out!
RumginRay · Nov 2023
Just discovered this recently (to my own embarrassment) and have been working through from current to past episodes. Was especially touched with the part one part two Devo episodes and the mention of Satisfaction, as I too heard the Devo version first before the Rolling Stones’. Strongly agree that for so many of us there was a before Devo, and after Devo formative reality. Really sweet and fact-packed conversations, not just with these two episodes, but again and again throughout the whole series.
