Ep 119: Dark Obsessions

Uh-huh

...

so what we're talking about here is Elric and Brian Sowers of Pure Cinema Podcast hosted a screening of the 1987, question mark?

Something like that, yeah.

I forget.

Something like that, film The Jar, which if you just Google The Jar 1987, you're gonna see this box cover that if you are in any way Gen X, Millennial, you're immediately gonna go, "Oh, I remember that box cover."

Yeah.

But a lot of us didn't rent it, and a lot of the folks that did got so kind of put off by it that they didn't finish it.

And so it didn't get a lot of play.

But Elric and Brian had rediscovered it, along with Billy Ray Brewton, and been kind of like, "Hey, this is weird and trippy." Now, I was one of those people where I could have sworn I had rented it.

Like, I, surely I did.

I must have.

I remember that box cover so vividly.

Of course I must have rented it.

There's no fucking way I ever saw this thing, 'cause I would r- have remembered the weirdness that was this movie.

It's like a dream logic the whole time.

Like, there is no-

Yeah, the whole thing.

It never pr- it never is normal.

It's never normal, yeah.

It, it, it's a mixture of, like, amateur.

There's moments where you're like, "This is kinda amateur," other moments where you're like, "Wait, this feels like Mario Bava"-

Yeah

...

in terms of color.
