when a fucking holiday huh

this epic about a brave mother’s life
and her twin children’s expedition to

upon a mind-control conspiracy this
surrealist film didn’t perform too well

had a much stronger cultural impact
especially over time I’ve been listening
for a while ever since what since a
video John the sci-fi body horror flicks
