From filmmaker and journalist Mike Watt comes a the long-awaited SEQUEL to the beloved Movie Outlaw collection. Brand new collection of essays focusing on another 70 "undeservedly underseen" films, such as, "Crazy Moon" starring a pre-star Keifer Sutherland; Frank Henenlotter's hilarous "Frankenhooker"; the all-star "Jane White is Sick and Twisted"; Terry Southern's "The Magic Christian," starring Peter Sellars and Ringo Starr; Peter Jackon's non-Hobbit forming "Meet the Feebles"; Michael A. Simpson's purgatory classic "Impure Thoughts"; Paul Morressey's "Spike of Bensonhurst," Richard Rush's "The Stunt Man"; Clive Barker's long-mishandled and newly revived "Night Breed"; Brian DePalma's rock operetta "Phantom of the Paradise," Will Vinton's Claymation Classic "The Adventures of Mark Twain"; the disturbing TOETAG Pictures' "The Redsin Tower"; and the late underground filmmaker Andy Copp's disturbing "The Atrocity Circle." We also slap around Disney's atrocity, "The Lone Ranger" (while simultaneously trying to redeem "The Legend of the Lone Ranger."
