About this episode

Ryan Luis Rodriguez and guest Chris Haskell discuss the audio commentary for Alejandro Jodorowsky’s film 'Santa Sangre'.

For our ninety-second episode, we’re joined by Chris Haskell (“Punk Vacation” podcast) for a discussion of the audio commentary for Alejandro Jodorowsky’s audacious 1989 stunner “Santa Sangre”. Among the things discussed: avoiding being pinned down by genre, casting your children to exorcise your past demons, “Mystery Science Theater 3000” connections, the afterlife as one long orgasm, love for unique faces and body types, dangerous helicopter shots, love for Tod Browning’s masterpiece “Freaks”, Jodorowsky as a human Yoda, and so much more. Ryan’s Recommendations: “Burden of Dreams” (1982), “Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker’s Apocalypse” (1991), and “Jodorowsky’s Dune” (2013) For 500 hours of exclusive bonus content and early releases of every episode, join our Patreon and become an Official Minder: http://www.patreon.com/onetrackmindpodcast Our network: https://www.someonesfavoriteproductions.com/network Theme Music by: Bildschirm (bildschirm.bandcamp.com).
