If a video gives a warning at the beginning that people who suffer from photosensitive epilepsy should rather steer clear of the same, a certain amount of attention is guaranteed in advance. If the video description also says that more than 80 films have been messed up in it, the click to the play button is practically pre-programmed. In the latest work by Smash tv there are 80 minutes full of film snippets, music videos and TV clips, plus cuts without end - almost a bit like energy drinks filled with fizzy powder on a roller coaster during a thunderstorm on a Monday that feels like a Friday. And also awesome, because there is also a lot of nostalgia.
Megaplex is the most insane double feature the world has ever seen. With a running time of 80 minutes and thousands of cuts from more than 80 movies, Smash TV has spent the past year and a half cramming the most entertainment possible into every second. It's dense enough to pressurize these diamonds in the rough into gleaming treasures.
Megaplex is the long awaited followup to the critically acclaimed Skinemax, much more fully realized, utilizing myriad editing and layering tricks picked up over the past five years. Deeper, darker, and definitely more bizarre.
Borrowing from the Grindhouse tradition and from Tarantino's more recent tribute, Megaplex is a double feature that both members of Smash TV worked on independently.
As a palette cleanser in between, Smash TV is proud to present Coming Attractions, a 15 minute collection of vignettes editing together previously unexplored genres and styles.
