Klon WaldripHOST
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.
Klon WaldripHOST
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.
Klon WaldripHOST
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.
Klon WaldripHOST
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.

Klon WaldripHOST

Klon WaldripHOST
I'd also like to again point you towards the work of Stephen Thrower.
Klon WaldripHOST
He's probably one of my favorite contemporary film writers, and his book Nightmare USA was essential in the writing of this episode.
Andrew FurtadoHOST
uh into this massive set where we're just buying the rights to these movies to put them in the dock and then we're like well this movie's pretty fucking cool why don't we just include that and we have 12 discs and it covers from the first ever like horror film uh shot on film and then uh goes all the way up to like the wizard of gore in 2007 we could have kept going but But at what point in time do I lose all my hair? On this first disc, with the doc, like David was saying, we paired it with The Lighthouse Keepers, which was...
Andrew FurtadoHOST
Music was composed by our Scream Daddy himself, Stephen Thrower.
Andrew FurtadoHOST
I don't know if I'm the kind of person who should be saying Scream Daddy, but here I am.
Andrew FurtadoHOST
But this, like you were saying, was one of the productions that the Grand Canyon Theatre actually...

Troy HowarthHOST
But Stephen Thrower's exceptional books on Jess Franco, if you don't have them, please pick them up and read them and study them and digest them and devour them.
Troy HowarthHOST
They're absolutely brilliant.
Troy HowarthHOST
And they do have very invaluable information within concerning the locations, the filming, everything.

Troy HowarthHOST
That sense that everything is kind of unfolding in its own time.
Troy HowarthHOST
The way scenes will sometimes just linger and kind of achieve their own kind of inner life and inner rhythm is something that is very distinctive to Franco.
Troy HowarthHOST
this distension of time, which is something that Stephen Thrower talks a lot about in his writing and his talks about Franco, which is, I think, definitely one of the most arresting and fascinating aspects of his films.
Troy HowarthHOST
It either works for you or it doesn't.
SamHOST
You can listen to my other podcast where I let Adam talk more because I think everybody's sick of hearing me, and that's Nightmare USA, the podcast podcast.
SamHOST
We didn't even ask Stephen Thrower if we could use that.
SamHOST
So when he comes to my house to kill me, this is where you find out that happened.
