Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem, 2003

Such a cool movie for a perfect album.

In the Mouth of Madness, 1994

This movie rules. A meta Ouroboros-ass cosmic horror about writing with Sam Neil chowing scenery, goopy practical monsters, and a glam rock soundtrack. Β What’s not to love.

Marty Supreme, 2025 - β˜…β˜…β˜…Β½
