Nightmare USA

It seems to be an anthology that blends in Hobbes' art and costume creations along with documentary footage and his rough-around-the-edges hippie humor.

Hobbes tinkered with the movie throughout his life and allowed author Stephen Thrower to see it while writing his chapter on Hobbes for his book Nightmare USA, The Untold Story of the Exploitation Independence.

Much of the shape of this episode comes from that chapter, but the entire book is a remarkable achievement and comes with the highest recommendations.

Outside of a few screenings of Troika when it was initially made, and a 2022 screening in Glasgow, Thrower is one of the few people who've seen the film.

So check it out.

I'd also like to again point you towards the work of Stephen Thrower.

He's probably one of my favorite contemporary film writers, and his book Nightmare USA was essential in the writing of this episode.

As you may have noticed, I've decided to do the obvious thing and focus on one movie per episode.

Welcome to the Nightmare USA podcast.

Using Stephen Thrower's tome as our roadmap, join us as we explore the underbelly of America, one regional horror film at a time.
