Keith Gordon -- Static

What this episode covers

Jules and I continue the Keith Gordon filmography and we're talking about the 9th film in the run, 1985's "Static". Keith is a dang shining star in this, a quirky 90s comedy about weirdos that came out in the mid 80's. He works in a crucifix factory, his cousin is a street preacher/hustler/doomsday enthusiast with two weird kids who wear lizard masks and fallout suits while drinking tang, and his maybe love interest left a dope punk band to hang out in a garbage town with a fish shaped diner while Keith gets ready to unveil his life's work: a TV where you can see heaven. I want to say it's weird this has no real cult imprint, but Mark Romanek, who directed and co-wrote with Gordon, doesn't acknowledge it and they missed a decent distribution offer in the days before they were scooping up indie movies left and right. Nowadays you can find a bootleg vhs on Amazon or watch a laserdisc rip on youtube (there's a link in our YouTube page). Get your Keith on while you can (we're getting close to the end) and then rate, review, subscribe, email, socialize with us and maybe call the hotline! What, you don't know where all our stuff is? Well, head to https://linktr.ee/wedoingfilmographies and get on the other 8 Gordon movies, 13 Billy Crudup flicks and 10 spooky movies. #billycrudup #keithgordon #inventingtheabbots #sleepers #grind #hilocountry #jesusson #wakingthedead #almost famous #worldtraveler #monumentave #withoutlimits #everyonesaysiloveyou #princessmononoke #Charlottegray #filmography #podcast #jaws2 #kentstate #Christine #allthatjazz #homemovies #dressedtokill #noroi #princeofdarkness #static #amandaplummer #singlebars #legendofbilliejean  #markromanek #theplugs
