I was really looking forward to my two sixty minute sets at Comic & Media Expo and I had a blast in a slightly different setting than usual. I've programmed a lot of sci-fi, a bunch of steampunk and some horror, but this is the first time I've been able to filter some of the best of those films (and some new ones) into a pop culture framework. It's not as international as some sets I've programmed (only four films come from outside the US: two from the UK and one each from Belgium and Spain), but six are from Arizona and representatives from three of those kindly attended to take part in a Q&A in between the two sets. Thanks, Adolpho Navarro (Fists in Flight), Jim and Karen Politano (Flight Fright) and Chris Bradley (Black Gulch)! The first set is a fun, family friendly warm up: 56 minutes of pop culture comedy that explicitly references Doctor Who, The Twilight Zone and Star Wars, as well as bringing up a host of others. Each of these played really well, especially Losers which is frankly tailor made for this sort of convention. The second set starts off in the same way with the perennial favourite, Logan Must Make Star Wars, before getting a lot more edgy, with all sorts of adult material. There's no nudity (well, one drunken man's butt for a second or two) but there's plenty of outrageous gore, swearing and dark themes, always keeping that comedic touch. I know Happy Birthday, Mr Zombie and Bad Guy #2 especially played well, because I kept hearing snorts of laughter in all the right places. |
