WXDU and Movie Loft present “My Degeneration” and “Mod Fuck Explosion”

MORITSUGU MADNESS! Join WXDU and Movie Loft for a double-feature of sleaze cinema genius from writer and director Jon Moritsugu, the King of Underground Cinema!

First up will be his 1989 feature debut My Degeneration, “ostensibly about an all-girl rock band playing music for the beef industry…..the movie flows like a drunken semiotics presentation through a grainy sewer of filth and noise.” The movie so punk rock that when it screened at Sundance, Roger Ebert stormed out after only 7 minutes!

After degenerating we’ll encounter Mod Fuck Explosion (trailer), the 1994 scuzz flick that garnered Best Feature at the New York Underground Film Festival. A coming-of age tale set amongst Mods and biker gangs, hundreds of pounds of rotting meat and the music of Unrest, “a lurid fever-dream riffing on arthouse pretense collided head-on with shock cinema”.

All of Moritsugu’s films are packed with incredible music and to that end we’ll be spinning soundtrack-featured bands, starting at 7, along with hot wieners on the grill. My Degeneration will roll at 8, and then after a brief intermission Mod Fuck Explosion. Each film is around an hour, and guaranteed to melt what is left of your brain.
