Pavement are a scrappy, bewildering band, so it's only fair that they get a scrappy, bewildering biopic - or is it? A hybrid of documentary, spoof, situationist prank and an off-Broadway jukebox musical that somehow actually happened in reality, Alex Ross Perry's Pavements throws the ultimate slacker band into a hall of mirrors in order to ask the question: what does it mean to never sell out?

This week on Pop Screen, Graham and Simon tackle all four dimensions (it'll make sense later, probably) of Perry's film: Simon from the viewpoint of an ARP fan who wasn't previously familiar with the band, and Graham... well, you'll find out on the episode, as well as discussions of the difference between West and East Coast snark, the lost original cut of the film, the unexpected afterlife of the band in Beabadoobee songs and Spotify weirdness, and Graham's sensible opinions about New York.
