Today we welcome author, filmmaker, and (retired) performer Christopher Zeischegg for two films by notorious transgressive author Dennis Cooper. Cooper’s queer, graphic, sex- and death-obsessed fiction is disturbing enough on its own. Now he’s ventured twice into filmmaking: first with 2015’s LIKE CATTLE TOWARDS GLOW, a collection of shorts concerned with many of the same violent themes as his written work. Then he switched gears with 2018’s sweeter PERMANENT GREEN LIGHT, about a teenager compelled to literally blow himself up—with a little help from his friends.

Unwatchables is hosted by Marc Dottavio and Seth Troyer, produced by Tony Scarpitti, featuring artwork by Micah Kraus.
