Fancy Movie Time #14: The Holy Mountain (1973)
On this episode of Fancy Movie Time with Brian and A.J., the Fancy Lads take a pilgrimage to the top of the surrealist peak of Alejandro Jodorowsky's The Holy Mountain (1973). Do the gorgeous visuals and frenetic pacing make this wild ride a Fancy Feast? Or do its pop-art aesthetic and treatment of child actors make it a Failure to Fancy? One thing's for sure: there will be bull semen. Just so much bull semen.

Also boiling shit and piss over and over again is legit alchemist practice which is how we got Phosphorus
Can I petition a movie for Fancy Movie Time cause I am petitioning SUDDENLY LAST SUMMER
everytime i see anything about jodorowsky im reminded of the time i watched jodorowskys dune with my brother and the movie being 90% people talking about how cool it would have been, 9% jodorowsky talking about rape, and 1% concept art; ending with my brother reading to me the allegations he found online
Now you have to cover Doggie Woggies Poochie Woochies!
A couple of the EiT! folks also produce a podcast that covers Christian media
If y’all want a VERY different and extremely good movie, check out Hoop Dreams! Phenomenal documentary about basketball
Still hoping you guys do The Metabaron Cycle on the main channel. Absolute batshit insane plot juxtaposed against some of the most beautiful panels I have ever seen in comic panels. You see art that is so full of imagination and emotion and the text could be explaining eugenics and torture, a man flying a space craft with his pelvis, or the ultimate negging as a guy burns down a giant tree that is the last of its kind then bringing in a clone or something to horrify then impress his love interest. Just absolutely wild shit. Def a fave
I love the part of "Jodorowsky's Dune" where Moebius says "It's Moebin' time."
How much to make the Mickey mouse bit a permanent feature?
Oh boy I can't wait to hear a review of my favorite Sleep album
I don't remember the bull semen. I remember the old-man tiger-breasts squirting what was presumably breast milk on one of the actors. But I don't remember the bull semen.
Finally my soul can rest
Ps have you considered doing a short films episode I think it would be a interesting change of format
