Jesus Shows You The Way To The Highway starts off inscrutable but is very worth it. It also doesn't get any more scrutable. Really nice, oddly timeless, euro-afro surrealsploitation.

Up until ten years ago we had an incredible iconic video rental place here in Missoula, called The Crystal theatre, where one could find many, many foreign , independent and provocative films that broke out of the Amorica mundane 7 literary plots. I so miss those times.

Fittingly, it's a different story altogether, although it isn't the film which has changed. Perhaps the ultimate comment on the themes operating behind the Mandela effect.
Due to proximity more than anything, I see similar themes emerging within the rather excellent series Raised By Wolves which I've just seen. The story is dense with allusion and symbolism, the images profoundly unsettling and both the repetition and upending of science fictional tropes particularly well handled. Ultimately the show poses more questions than answers, packing more philosophical enquiry into a small screen science fiction epic than anything I've seen for a while. I enjoyed my cumulative ambivalence, arising from the ambiguities built into almost every scene. And I'm actually looking forward to a second series!
It was almost as though “Raised by Wolves” had somehow regressed us...
