New To You ep226: Freaks pt1

Our new topic is about exploring and embracing the weird! We’re joined by our good friend Adam Moerder. 

Adam has been collaborating with the team at Godmode Records you should check out their music they’ve been doing great work.

As we get into the pick John sidetracked a bit to share about a spate of narrative horror podcasts he’s been listening to check out any of the following if you’re a fan of radio drama, or spooky stuff:

Limetown

The Message

The Black Tapes

Tanis

Lore

pt1: Freaked (Film 1993)

Jule’s pick was the inspiration for this topic. Any reason to watch this Alex Winters and Tommy Stern work of art is welcome. The titles alone are worth the weird. Stop Motion Stratacut clay animation at its strangest- rife with Jan Svankmajer nods.

The title track is Henry Rollins.

Yes that is a wooden Randy Quaid - he may be the best thing about this movie.

Actually- these Rastafar-Eyes may be the best thing about this movie.

They actually made merchandise for this picture- and they are appropriately weird.

You can purchase Freaked on Amazon. Definitely check out Alex Winter’s site to see his other project and his info on the movie.
