The movie does have some redeeming qualities though. While the acting was almost always below average, the cast lists reads like a who's who of "not quite ready for mainstream" character actors such as Alan Thicke, the children of Frank Zappa (Moon Unit, Dweezil, Ahmed, et al). George Wendt, Mink Stole, Jessica Hecht, and many others. Some of the topics dealt with, however exaggerated, could also been taken from today's headlines, even though the movie was made 6 years ago. If you're looking for something way off the beaten path, this would certainly qualify and there was a lot of weird humor for those who like to play trivial pursuit with obscure references.

Picture: The picture was presented in full frame and was about average for a low budget indie release. I didn't see any artifacts or other visual problems worth noting.

Sound: The sound was presented in Dolby Stereo. It was a bit hollow but otherwise about what I expected.

Extras: There was an audio commentary by Director Jonathan Blank. He spent a lot of time on the details of the shoot including facts about the large cast. In truth, it was more entertaining than the feature most of the time. Another extra was an interview with now deceased Timothy Leary. Some trailers and a short Anarchy TV game (multiple choice quiz) round up the extras.

Final Thoughts: While the feature had a lot more misses than hits, it wasn't a complete waste of time. The concept of the show was sound, it was just the execution of it that wasn't all that good. The problem as I saw it was that the Director was also the producer and writer which may sound like a good idea but it really does show that he was wearing too many hats here. In all, if you're in the market for something no one else will watch with you, give this one a rental-think of all the obscure references you'll be able to hit people with. Maybe some day, someone will make a movie that addresses the issues here with a bit more bite and a lot less pandering. Until then, skip this one.
