I love all romanticized depictions of the late ‘70s/early ’80s NYC art scene so this film was right up my alley. It also made me kind of miss the strange local television shows that would play late at night when I was in middle school, like Bombshelter Videos and the Spud Goodman show. There was another video show too but I can’t remember the name, although I do remember staying up to watch it in a fevered state, desperate to see any music video I could in my MTV-less existance. Whatever happened to local television? Sad.

Actually, I don’t recommend it. I almost recommend it because there are some great bizarre moments. Lots of hip guests on this cable access show from 4 years in the late 70s/early 80s. But that couldn’t save it for me. I laughed out loud a few times, but as a whole it was a painful movie to sit through. That being said, I appreciate Glenn O’Brien’s TV Party.

Andrea and I saw this at the Drafthouse ‘Music Monday’ event. It was basically about one of the first cable access TV programmes in NYC which took television ‘where it had never been before’.

I enjoyed the irreverancy (for its time), and the fact that they had David Bowie as a musical guest once.
