Shredder Orpheus

They Live x Videodrome x Thrashin'

This is such a cool little movie. Tons of charm and heart despite the low budget. If you like punk, skateboarding, and post-apocalytpic renditions of Greek tragedies, grab this now. I've never seen anything quite like it. The slip and book are top notch, too.

A Novel Take on the Classical Myth

Movie: Really great look. The sets, and especially the costumes give a unique feel to this which gels really well with the SOV look as well as the music. It gets a bit slow towards the end but is otherwise a novel riff on the classic myth. VHS version: I didn't notice anything in particular different about the VHS version, aside from the obvious step down in fidelity. The costumes definitely benefit from the main version of the movie on the disc. Extras: Always nice to have the trailer, and the Bombshelter Video promo is worth checking out for the vintage skater video vibes. Book: I appreciated both the interview and the essay. The latter especially gave me some more to think about when I rewatched the movie and definitely increased my enjoyment. It's also nice that the book includes a review of the movie from back in the day. Packaging: The look is overall great. Only (minor) complaint is that the slipcover and the inner cover have the same front (inner cover not reversible)
