Lint Hatcher Big Question Wrestling - Santo style! "We go to the Father of Souls, but it is necessary to pass by the dragon." - St. Cyril of Jerusalem (349 AD). "Excuse me, Ghidorah." - Lint Hatcher (2007 AD). Join us as we stealthily make our way past the social, philosophical and even theological dragons of our day by holding fast to what is capital "G" Good. For Lint and his guests that can mean C.S. Lewis, Santo movies, Aurora monster models, G.K. Chesterton, Flannery O'Connor, the philosophical underpinnings of Star Trek's "prime directive", the struggle against commodification, comic books, Walker Percy, a Christian defense of Halloween and who knows what else. roadside america, theme parks, Disney, dinosaurs, kitsch, folk art, kitsch, existential, Jesus, OCD, Halloween, Lint Hatcher, myth, Catholic, comic book, consumer, Kreeft, DC, Star Trek, Chesterton, Narnia, Lewis, pop, zombies no Lint Hatcher borderlinevoodoo@mac.com http://linthatcher.podbean.com/feed no http://excusemeghidorah.blogspot.com/ borderlinevoodoo@yahoo.com (Lint Hatcher) Tue, 28 Jun 2005 20:17:15 -0400 apocalypse-on-aisle-4-pt1 Lint Hatcher pt1 Why shopping for happiness makes you unhappy. When commodities promise to satisfy profound psychological and social needs, shopping becomes a search for happiness. In this three part seminar, Lint Hatcher looks at what it is like to grow up in a consumer culture -- with his typical references to pop-culture like John Carpenter's "They Live," Orwell's "1984," George Romero's "Dawn of the Dead," and the book "What Should I Do If Reverend Billy Is In My Store?" The seminar is a three parter: (1) Apocalypse on Aisle 4 (2) The Parking Lot of Babel (3) Household Gods. First presented at the 2005 Cornerstone Music Festival in the Imaginarium tent, where people talk about C.S. Lewis, Santo and Blue Demon, Aurora monster models, G.K. Chesterton, Flannery O'Connor, and the philosophical underpinnings of Star Trek's "prime directive" as though they all belong under a single indefinable category. catholic,spectacle,happiness,consumer,commodification,wonder,lint,cornerstone,zombies,society,culture,obsession,imaginarium,alien,horror,apocalypse,bennett,sociology,abstract,lovecraft no 1:06:44 http://excusemeghidorah.blogspot.com/ borderlinevoodoo@yahoo.com (Lint Hatcher) Mon, 15 Aug 2005 16:10:57 -0400 apocalypse-on-aisle-4-pt1-1 Lint Hatcher pt2 Are you a "passive consumer of intensities"?
