About this episode
This week, we talked to Homer Flynn of The Cryptic Corporation, who represents the mysterious, unknown collective, THE RESIDENTS, and discussed their legacy in film and video. Topics included the band’s Theory Of Obscurity, which Resident is the easiest to negotiate with, how the band couldn’t even give their initial records away and the moment that changed, creating the Ralph Records logo, what the Residents think of A.I., how they created their album artwork and music videos, collaborating with Night Flight, being The Residents during the pandemic, why The the collective gravitated to and stayed in S.F., working with John Sanborn & Graeme Whifler, The Residents’ filmmaking heroes, making music videos in an era where there was no place to show them, how the Cryptic Corp deals with the band’s larger than life concepts, the folly of trying to accomplish everything in one’s lifetime, the story behind their Ugly Grey Theater not being allowed to exist, their early 70s feature length epic Vileness Fats and how it lead to the false start film Double Trouble which then led to their first feature length film 50 years later, Triple Trouble, and their discussion on their next large scale projects including a one song concert in Geneva and Paris. So come all you sinister exaggerators and let’s talk the visuals of The Residents.
