The best art seeps into the way you process the world, the best literature affects your speech patterns. Alex Cox's REPO MAN script is the reason why I still refer to my customers as "ordinary f*cking people". Behind their backs, of course. I'll also credit Cox as a fine educator, giving me the crash course in cult cinema thanks to his MOVIEDROME series I watched religiously as a young whippersnapper on Sunday nights. Woah - I never realised that before: Moviedrome was my f*cking church, man!
So yeah, I'm curious to hear Cox is debuting the unproduced sequel to the '84 classic in comic book form: WALDO 'S HAWAIIAN HOLIDAY.
Hey man, wanna earn ten dollars?

I think Moviedrome was where I first introduced to the flick THE BABY, which I must continually thank Mr Cox for. Between that and Channel 4`s Red Light Zone I was sufficiently educated in the more "esoteric" realm of cinema. Though in fairness the Red Light Zone was more about the possibility of seeing some T&A.
And didn't some bloke from Ballymena with a dodgy accent replace Cox on Moviedrome?
Mark something.
Mark Cousins.
I liked his accent. Very restful.
