Jay Can’t Watch “The Holy Mountain”
Ya know how some films need to be seen to be believed? Screw that.
Jay loves watching and analyzing films from the 1970s, but also films from that era can be… a lot. Thus Alejandro Jodorowsky’s “The Holy Mountain” remains an un-watched, nay un-watchable film. To fix this, James is going to describe to them, and you, in as much detail as is reasonable every event, image, implication, and moral of this 1973 psychedelic art house cacophony while Jay sketches the scenes live as they envision them. A three hour evening in three “acts” audiences are invited to come and go as they please, patronize Tattooed Mom’s kitchen and bar, and even play along via the most high-brow game of telephone pictionary yet attempted by man. By the end of the evening Jay, and y’all, will have watched “The Holy Mountain”.
Without actually having to watch “The Holy Mountain”.
