VIDEO

“The Mission” by Spastic Joy”

Ela Olreans described the video, which she made, as such

“The video is a tribute to filmmaking twins George and Mike Kuchar – maestros of B-movie glamour and sleaze who have proudly marched in step with the consumer-grade vanguard for over fifty years until George’s recent death (three days after completion of this video). Kuchars’ brilliantly insane, no-budget movies of 1960′s New York City underground inspired Movies for Ears (aka Ela Orleans) to create an apocalyptic illustration for ”The Mission” by Canadian duo – Spastic Joy.”
