10 MAG 2024 · What makes "Heavy Metal" so enduringly appealing? Part of its charm lies in its timelessness and the nostalgia it evokes for an era when animation for adults was a daring novelty. The movie also serves as a reminder of the "cool factor" that seems to be missing in much of today's mainstream media. "Heavy Metal" was a conduit for content that was edgy, a bit dangerous, and profoundly cool, qualities that seem increasingly sanitized in the current landscape. Joining us today are Swamp Media Group creators Antonio Llapur and Matt Sjafiroeddin. For them "Heavy Metal" was not just entertainment; it was a source of inspiration. The film's unique blend of animation styles, from rotoscoping to traditional hand-drawn techniques, and its fearless approach to storytelling left a lasting impact on them. It steered them towards embracing animation as a powerful medium for storytelling in their own feature work: the award-winning, live-action cartooon, "Space Detective."

17 FEB 2024 · We're closing down the Night Gallery with a trio of final paintings. Whisper stars Sally Field as a troubled clairvoyant and Dean Stockwell as her too encouraging lover. The Doll of Death tells a remarkably non-problematic tale of voodoo with Susan Strasberg caught in a love triangle with Barry Atwater and Alejandro Rey. Hatred Unto Death is a tale of genetic memory and its ravaging effect on the present. Really it's a story of an unhinged gorilla hunting down Steve Forrest and Dina Merill in a darkened museum.
