Lucy and Sean RETVRN to the airwaves and to the year 1994 of 1977/2006 by way of the interminable, kaleidoscopic present to talk about Richard Linklater's (literally) dizzying digitally rotoscoped adaptation of Philip K Dick's A Scanner Darkly.

In the first of what we're intending to be a series of conversations around the theme, Lucy joins Jonathan Kennedy (@getradified) to discuss the onging events taking place in Gaza and the Western media's role in facilitating Israel's onging war on the Palestinian people.

WYRD_SIGNAL is still on hiatus but we've opted to use this channel while we figure out our long term plans with this project.

In the latest in our ongoing interview series, Sean talks with horror writer and literal ex-High Priest of Set Don Webb about weird America, the Left Hand Path, and eyebrows.

Sean and Lucy join up with Bobsy (of Diane and DEEP STATUS fame) get to grips with an entity that has loomed large over the history of the 20th century and the history of WYRD_SIGNAL since its inception - the archangel of high strangeness: Mothman!

Sean and Lucy team up with video essayist, musician, author and actress May Leitz to discuss internet horror, mediated reality and the hybrid geography of late capitalism in Jane Schoenbrun's 2021 film We're All Going to the World's Fair

Sean is joined by none other than M. John Harrison to discuss science fiction and the limits of genre, failures of personal identity, landscape weirdness, and an untranslatable word in Portuguese.

Lucy and Sean take a detour from their focus on film to explore what "fucked America vibes" mean to them in musical terms through an intensely personal road trip across the post-punk/prog rock/groove metal and 90s alt. landscape

Sean is joined by the legendary Lee Edelman to discuss the history and (no) future of queer theory, with a brief bypass through Coronation Street

Lucy and Sean go down the rabbit hole of American Paranoia, talking conspiracy cinema of the 1970s, therapy cults, the post-60s malaise, the deep state and the confusing unreality of the American Century in Philip Kaufman's Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)
