Swamp Thing Rather Than Nothing
Description
BEHOLD!! The Swamp Thing Rather Than Nothing Episode!!
WITH!!!! Special Panel:
Curious wisdom-speaker and plant-woman Em Grebner-Gaddis appears.
Painter and eccentric gatherer Swamp Ken (Kenneth Nicholson) speaks to history, body-horror and early 90s bizarro.
Craig Randall thinks of living-thru-doom, hope and plants from the fertile crescent of the Pacific Northwest.
The guiding question and idea behind this fervid inquiry: Why is Swamp Thing Important?
Host Ken Volante corrals most tendrils of this wonderful panel to: explore the brilliance and radical edge of Alan Moore; the connection of Heather Locklear's foot and Midsommar; The Swamp Thing DC movie Universe speculated upon; the Wes Craven film (1982) dismantled and apprehended; the omnipresent threat to women in the films; Kudzu vine Swamp Thing biology theory; the (in)humanity of Alec Holland; the alien-transcendence of orchids; mental health, loneliness and alienation; and, so you know, SWAMP THING in a JEEP - this actually occurs in The Return of The Swamp Thing
Enjoy!!!
