I'm off to fall asleep to another 80s punk classic: Penelope Spheeris' Suburbia. Sleep well folks, and see you next time!

Same, my theory is it's a class issue. The more privilege you have, the more literal you are. Cause you've never had to think in any other terms. Hope that makes sense, I'm still working on my thesis.

Nightmare on Elm Street II (1985) Dir. Jack Sholder – Once maligned it is now reclaimed as a camp & queer classic. Beyond the subtext, it’s a practical effects blast—gooey and unforgettable fun anchored by horror’s true scream queen giving his all, turning this into over-the-top horror bliss. 🎞️📽️🎬

I always viewed it from the mental illness angle, but I see the connections with this as well.

The Green Slime (1968) Dir. Kinji Fukasaku – Wildly silly yet unforgettable thanks to those goofy creature designs and a theme song that lives rent free in your head- forever. Astronauts bring back space goo that spawns one-eyed, tentacled monsters. Campy, colorful, and pure late-60s sci-fi fun.🎞️📽️🎬

Don't forget about RKKK (1986).

RocketKitKongoKit (1986)

This kaleidoscopic, amphetamine-paced tour de force uses a barrage of found-footage images and rapid-fire narration to trace a history of Zaire since its independence in 1960.

Thanks! Yeah, we thought about hitting up Brockie but we got turned around. I'll definitely check it out one day. I still need to see them on their home turf at The National.
