How Free is Free
America purports itself to be the beacon of Democracy, Freedom and equal right for every one. That is except for her minority groups and women. Tonight we take a look at Gay and Lesbian Rights," "Women's Rights," and "Youth Speak. After viewing this program you realise that we still have such a long way to go, but on an upbeat note it also shows how ordinary people whose civil liberties have been threatened fight back.

Leigh Bowery
Australian artist Leigh Bowery (1961-1994), consciously used his own body in his excessive abundance as an artistic media. He was one of the most colorful border-crossers of the London and New York club, fashion, and art scenes of the 1980s and 1990s. Bowery made his sexuality a means of aesthetic expression, and he consciously used his own body in excessive abundance as an artistic media. Leigh Bowery’s influence reached through the fashion, club, and art worlds to impact, amongst others, Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood, Boy George, John Galliano, the Scissor Sisters, and David LaChapelle. He also inspired some of Lucian Freud’s most fascinating nude paintings. He was discovered by the London art dealer Anthony d'Offay in 1988 and this was the start of a co-operation with the Photographer Fergus Greer who would accompany him until his early death resulting from an HIV infection.

The Crystal Skulls
The movie Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull highlights these strange archaeological oddities. Were they created in ancient times for paranormal purposes or are they modern fakes? Some people with a mystical bend credit them with strange, supernatural powers. Geologists marvel at their size. Archaeologists wonder who made them. And nobody denies that they possess an eerie, horrible beauty unmatched by almost any other objects. They are the crystal skulls. Crystal skulls have a devoted following who believe in their mystical (and perilous) powers and a Mayan legend of 13 skulls coming together in a time of great peril to save mankind by divulging the secret knowledge of all ages. Today there are a handful of crystal skull relics, including one at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.

The Godmonster of Indian Flats (1972)
Gaseous vapors from an ancient mine cause the birth of a huge squealing embryo that is taken to the laboratory of a local mad doctor where it grows into a monstrous 8-foot mutant sheep. Meanwhile, the racist mayor of an historic wild west tourist town attempts to thwart the efforts of a black man buying real estate by attempting to lynch him! Plans go awry, however, when the giant, wool-covered Lamb from Hell escapes from the doctor's lab and starts waddling across the countryside. Spewing an orange phosphorous gas, the semi-prehistoric Godmonster of Indian Flats terrifies the population, blows up a gas station, and even "dances" with a deranged hippie chick until it's lassoed by cowboys. The mayor then startles everyone by putting "the damaged mongoloid beast" on display as "The 8th Wonder of the World!"

Parents (1989)
Who knew that Bob Balaban (Seinfeld, A Mighty Wind) had it in him to take on a not too thinly veiled Lynchian portrayal of suburban orgies and child abuse. At its core Parents is a film about a young boy named Michael who discovers his outwardly law-abiding mom and dad are cannibals. Randy Quaid momentarily retires his Vacation-film goofball comedy shtick to become utterly terrifying. Bizarre and sometimes chilling dream sequences and an additional subplot involving Michael and his next door neighbor explores the naivety of sexual flirtation between children with great care set against the trauma unfolding - helping this sometimes too-easy satire of 1950’s America (Toxico!) with its hokey sausage props to remain one of the most undervalued movies of the 1980s.

Get ready for a collision course of American trash culture like you've never seen before. After 8 days in LA Miss Death and Jay Katz have compiled a super sized platter of American film and Television culture that could only expand your mind to breaking point. Areas covered dating, exercise, film clips, music and again too much for me to be bothered listing.
