A Big American Problem
"A collage of B-movie science fiction, surrealism, film noir and cinema verité, the 1995 tragicomic film purported to serve as a promotional piece for Drywall and their record release 'Work The Dumb Oracle'. It instead devolved into a stream-of-consciousness kidnapping and murder story involving extraterrestrials, a ventriloquist’s dummy (the band’s conniving manager Jackie), a confused and emotional private eye and a band quickly losing patience over the whole fiasco." - Carlos GrassoRead moreLess
