Pod 366, Ep. 189: Xavier Terhorst's Vegas Eyes Look at These People, John Lilly, and the Barrio Lady Addiction
<p>Xavier Terhorst, director of the microbudget "My Vegas Eyes," joins Greg and Giles to talk about his hallucinatory post-apocalyptic debut feature. But first, the trio discuss this week's new weird movies: independent exemplar Cory McAbee is back with a very limited run of his Lincoln assassination musical "These People"; Harmony Korine-backed Colombian punk movie "Barrio Triste" shows up on VOD; "Lady," a wild UK comedy about an eccentric aristocrat who turns invisible, can be found on Apple TV; the documentary "John Lilly and the Earth Coincidence Office" boasts a host of weird movie connections; and finally, we mention that there's a 4K UHD upgrade of Abel Ferrara's "The Addiction" out now (and indulge in a little Ferrara discussion). Then, Xavier Terhorst goes into detail about the process of making his microbudget epic, life in Vegas, advice for aspiring filmmakers, and where to eat in Sin City.</p><p>ERRATA</p><p>*Sian Clifford is indeed the female lead of "Lady." Sian is pronounced (approximately) as "Shawn." It's the Welsh equivalent of Jane. The male lead is Laurie Kynaston, which caused Greg some confusion, since Laurie is an exclusively feminine name in the US.</p>
