VOL. I | Iss. 5, “This is Your Family, I am Your Father” In Lieu Of
-
- Kunst
Like the first light on the fifth day, In Lieu Of comes ROARING BACK into your lives, kiddos, with the conclusion to VOLUME I: CULTURED FEAR.
It has been a minute so remind me... what are we talking about today again? Could it be that little-known indie comic from the mid-80s by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird? Their series had a limited run, was marginally successful, developed a small, cult following, rihgt? It’ll come to me. Just give me a sec.............
GOD I WANTED TO BE A TURTLE!!!!!!... when this movie came out. Today’s issue features a rare example of a film adaptation of a kids’ cartoon that holds up better than the cartoon it’s adapting. We remember the pizza, the sewer lair, the fight scenes, the totally radical catchphrases. But this is In Lieu Of, which means be prepared to have one of your childhood favorites dissected for what may be not-so-pleasant, like the fears of youth gang violence and child exploitation that underlies much of the film’s plot. Bossanova! Chevy Nova?
In lieu of the growing window into the scary realities of urban life and the growing concerns over the youth of the nation in the early 90s, how did we get The Shredder’s delinquent army in 1990’s live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie?
Volume I, Issue 5. And have YOU no one to go to, kiddos?
