Episode #259
259. The Head (1959) dir. Victor Trivas
Tim Kirk is back, and we are headed to 1950s-era Germany, a weird time for Germany, and the world. Join us as we talk about this campy, bonkers, sci-fi romp that is almost certainly a response to some of the darker events of World War II. We both got way more out of this movie than we expected to! This week, Tim Kirk is back to discuss a... challenging film. We're both lovers of amateur and independent films and we both really struggled with this one. It's a strange mess of a film with a couple really cool ideas that only make the strange mess of it all that more frustrating. But we did our best all the same, and definitely had a good time talking about it, even if we didn't have fun watching it. Join us! Tim's new music video for The Mountain Goats' "Charlie Sheen Reaches Out To The Feds" can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PEJmPTIzqk And his book All His Damned Mother's Sons is still available!
