Linus O'Brien - Unsung Cinema
from Movie Meltdown Hosted by Bryan Renfro
This episode we talk with Linus O'Brien, the son of Richard O'Brien and director of the documentary “Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror”. So listen as we learn what it was like to grow-up immersed in the early days surrounding “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” and how all that made Linus the perfect person to put together this exploration of his father and the legacy that he has created. And then of course we jump into an entirely different strange journey with a discussion of Spike Jonze’s - "Being John Malkovich". And while we attempt to deal with our own body dysmorphia, we also address… John Cleese, Shock Treatment, Dori Hartley, The Royal Court Theatre, Saint George and the dragon, Tim Curry, being opinionated, Charlie Kaufman, people telling their Rocky stories, puppeteer, a weird premise, the human condition, Bill Wyman, disheveled suits, Cameron Diaz, movies that have fantastical elements, Digital Dreams, one of the best things about being human, John Cusack, leading the ticketgoers to their seats, Robin of Sherwood, firing on all cylinders, Catherine Keener, a creepy and foreboding vibe, how naturalistic it felt, Charlie Sheen, and don’t dream it… live it.
