This week, join us as we discuss the notorious Wizard Video release and Video Nasty: 1971's The Headless Eyes. Like the films of Frank Henenlotter and Abel Ferrara, this film captures the grungy and sleazy - yet oddly charming - atmosphere of 1970/80s New York City. Watch as our protagonist runs crazily through the streets and gouges out eyes to add to his avant garde art. On this episode: the brilliant library music of Roger Roger, irritating audio loops, the appeal of financial self-sufficiency, apathetic news reporters, eye gouging, eye scooping, eye freezing, eye art, intermittent voice-over narration and blossoming romance between misanthropic introverts.
