ARTICLE: Synchromystic Masterpieces - Midnight Special (2016)

Being the age I am, and having consumed as much pop culture junk as I have, I’ve come to a point in which I have near-zero interest in escapist entertainment. 

Of course, there’s less and less of that to be found, as the entertainment industry reaches its terminal point of ideologically-aided mass suicide (a process kicked off in the C-suites following the panic instilled by the Occupy movements), but that’s a story for another time.


I’m also at a point now where I have close to zero interest in any narrative that doesn’t ask the big, cosmic-type questions and/or doesn’t have an explicit small-S spiritualist or consciousness orientation.

This, of course, dooms me to consuming obscure, independent and/or “flop” content, as I wrote in the “My Favorite Flops” section in The Endless American Midnight. And given what the masses consume— and the almost-total creative graveyard mainstream culture has become — I’m OK with that.

Which brings us to Midnight Special.
