Episode 72 - El Topo (1970) - "Nobody Wants to Go to The "Dead Kid Church"

This week on the pod, we continue our journey through the works of Alejandro Jordorowsky by braving the desert and experiencing death of self with 1970’s “El Topo”. What a trip man. Join us as we spend a bit more time learning about Jordorowsky himself and what brought him to create his special blend of mysticism, religion, philosophy and magic to film. Be warned, our special little guy takes a bit more of misogynistic turn this route as we dive into some of the controversy around the films rather left hook of a rape scene, and Jordorowsky’s earlier interviews about the film. But, between the heightened style at play, the flavor of a Western take on the hero’s journey,  the more overt spiritual lean of the film, El Topo definitely serves up a more engaging and taboo watch with a bit more to chew on. Plus, The fun things that children love to do, the legend of cult cinema Ben Barenholtz; and honest question, just who is this podcast for?
