"Gummo is the tale of two modern American hunter-gatherers (told from the perspective of a skateboarder) who were given the money and creative freedom to depict their lives in a way that shouldn't and couldn't have been told otherwise as art, in the culture it was created in. Yet it gets closer to the reality of nature and the response of humanity in a particular situation of our human condition then the ideological fantasies that are needed to fuel the machine of our culture industry and that we have all been conditioned by as the necessary default. It disturbs us because it shows us the truth that we repress to form our narrative to justify the unnecessary violence of our civilization. This is why it is good art." - Kenny Bishop

This week's guest texted us that after we watched and chatted about Gummo. Do we agree?
