Flying Lotus (Kuso, And SO much music you should check out) joins us for a deep dive into his latest sci-fi horror film ASH, his evolution as a filmmaker, and the twisted creative vision that drives his work. We explore how he built the film’s eerie atmosphere, why horror speaks to him as an artist, and some of the building blocks that gave us this out of this world (pun intended) movie.

We also look back at his early days breaking into the industry, from his time with Adult Swim to his friendship with animator David Firth (Salad Fingers), who is a previous guest on our show (Episode 9). Plus, we discuss how his music career has influenced his approach to filmmaking and storytelling.

Topics include:

• Directing ASH and crafting its unsettling world
• How Adult Swim helped shape his career
• Collaborating with David Firth and their shared love of the bizarre
• The intersection of music, horror, and visual storytelling
• Pushing boundaries in genre film with Kuso and beyond
• 
  

A must-listen for fans of surreal, boundary-pushing horror and one of the most innovative voices in the genre today so...
