Sesame Street: Follow That Bird 1985
Jim Henson and Frank Oz doing Bert and Ernie in an upside down biplane mid-flight is my generation’s Goose and Maverick.

Putney Swope 1969
A completely insane comedy counterculture miracle, with plenty of yikes-y stuff that super crosses the line but honestly not as much as I had anticipated, all context considered. Going into this I was expecting something shaggy and tossed off, and while it definitely feels wild and runs on a kind fuck-it drug-logic, the staging/framing/direction is so dialed in and cinematic that it enhances everything. Can't tell you how many times the way characters were arranged in a shot had me…

White Noise 2022
Big and weird as hell and funny and the middle sequence feels like Terry Gilliam’s War of the Worlds. Cool! Zoned out a bit on that final chapter but last 10 minutes rips obviously.

This Place Rules 2022
Some weird and sad stuff in here but not sure I understand what this dude is bringing to the table in terms of pov or insight.
