Bring Me the Head of Charlie Brown (audio commentary) [Art & Trash Miniature 21] - underground comix

Jim Reardon, Bring Me the Head of Charlie Brown, 1986, with audio commentary by Stephen Broomer. An Art & Trash miniature.
In 1986, as a student at CalArts, Jim Reardon and his friends made this fast n' brutal satire. More a satire of New American Cinema and commercial culture than of the Peanuts gang, Bring Me the Head of Charlie Brown bridges the precocious fantasy of Schultz's sensitive wisening children with the violent style and vision of Sam Peckinpah and company. In this audio commentary, Stephen Broomer discusses the nature of the film's satire, its crude pencil-sketch style, and its correlation to the world of underground comix.
