Pull that literal python out of your pants and get ready for the mime of your life because we're attending the Circo del Gringo to discuss Alejandro Jodorowsky's surrealist masterpiece Santa Sangre!
Join us as we offer up a primer on Jodorowksy before diving into this gorgeous, often touching film. From Fenix's (Axel Jodorowsky) childhoood trauma to his mother Concha's (Blanca Guerra) penchant for psychic arm control, this movie has it all!
Plus: detachable ears, an extravagant elephant funeral, acidic genital maimings, behind-the-scenes testicle-grabbings and lots and lots of chickens.
