Time Traveling: Danielle Mckinney in Conversation with Edward Hopper

Time Traveling: Danielle Mckinney in Conversation with Edward Hopper
We don’t need to remind you about our love and inspired writing and conversations about and with Danielle Mckinney: she has been the cover of the print edition and a recent guest on the Radio Juxtapoz podcast.

Together with his twin brother George, the Kuchars gained cult recognition first in the Bronx and then in San Francisco for their over-the-top, no-budget films that sent up Hollywood epics, weepy romances, and sci-fi B movies. In iconic films like Sins of the Fleshapoids (1965), The Craven Sluck (1967), and Death Quest of the Ju-Ju Cults (1976), Mike developed his distinctive style that jettisoned traditional narrative structure and acting professionalism in favor of extravagant, tender sagas that would have a significant impact on emerging theorizations…
