Let’s surf down memory lane and revisit the fourth episode of K.J. Relth-Miller's superCALIfragilistic L.A. DAZE! We saw pieces on:
• 1990s filmmaking in Echo Park (Here's a link to the Screenslate article K.J. references at the start of the show.)
• L.A.'s viral tween punk sensations, The Linda Lindas (fun fact: their band name comes from the 2005 Nobuhiro Yamashita film Linda Linda Linda)
• vintage news segments on Grafitti culture (ACAB ACAB ACAB!)
• The short films of video artist Ilene Segalove
• footage from the John Waters-narrated doc Plagues and Pleasures of the Salton Sea
• HUELL! POPPIES! JACARANDA TREES!
• a peek inside the stunning folk art of Grandma Prisbrey's Bottle Village
• and of course, the mega-charming Phyllis (of our fave cable access show OJAI '84) returns—along with Ed Begley Jr., Eileen Brennan, and an ineffectual magician!
L.A. DAZE is hosted by K.J. Relth-Miller
