We read Clement Greenberg's "Avant-Garde and Kitsch" (1939) and discuss where the avant-garde went, introduce a horseshoe theory to explain the KAWS cereal, and debate whether or not the Marina Abramović Longevity Method is a conceptual project or sell-out.
Warm up the water in your tiny tin bathtub and pull out your pastel pedal pushers hat as we bebop into John Waters’s Cry-Baby. Did Waters achieve the ultimate level of Postmodern metatextual campiness by creating a pastiche of his own film style here? Can the power of a quality goth accessory really change hearts and minds? Is this perhaps the best Willem Dafoe cameo ever? And is Kim McGuire, aka "Hatchet-Face", basically the biggest badass who ever lived? We’ll let you know after this sloppy, sloppy make-out session.
Bei einem Ausflug in die Wälder läuft den Hendersons ausgerechnet der legendäre Bigfoot vors Auto. George, Nancy sowie die Kinder Sarah und Ernie glauben, den zotteligen Riesen getötet zu haben, und nehmen ihn heimlich mit nach Hause. Als Bigfoot dort allerdings wieder erwacht, stellt er das Haus komplett auf den Kopf. Zunächst herrscht Panik, ehe die Hendersons das gutmütige Wesen ihres haarigen neuen Mitbewohners „Harry“ erkennen. Als ihnen aber neben den Nachbarn auch die Presse und ein Bigfoot-Jäger auf die Schliche kommen, beginnt ein Wettlauf gegen die Zeit, um das vermeintliche Monster wieder in Sicherheit zu bringen… (Mediabook Turbine Medien)

In this edition of Swerve South, Jaime and Theresa discuss the campy delight of Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga, Will Ferrell’s spoof/celebration of the international song competition Eurovision. Our hosts share some of their favorite moments from the film: cameos from former Eurovision winners like Conchita Wurst, outrageous costumes and performances, and the surprisingly moving ending. The episode explores Eurovision’s odd combination of artificial, schlocky camp and absolute sincerity and contemplates why the international pop culture phenomenon has yet to land with American audiences. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Eurovision or a newcomer, this episode is a great introduction to both the movie and the contest’s over-the-top charms.
Check out our show notes and extras.

Is the difference between types of depiction—Portraiture, Narrative, Decorative, etc—a matter of need, sensibility, or a little of both?
