What with the adult children of GeneCo’s CEO vying for the top position in the company after their patriarch finally kicks it, and the Repo Man himself being a very over-protective father. See? Ew.īut it’s the family drama that is the bulk of the story (sorry, just try to not stare at that guts gif. whatever organ it is they rented, gets repossessed.
Those who default on payments get butchered by THE REPO MAN!, i.e. And so a company called GeneCo was formed to loan the suffering masses replacement organs – and even elective surgeries. But the backdrop is a world in which much of society had suffered from organ failures for no discernible reason. It’s a story of family betrayals, and THAT’S IT. This is the guy who co-wrote Repo! ~Co-wrote Repo?~ Co-wrote Repo! This is the guy who co-wrote Repo! and dosey-doe your partner! Repo! Stars Buffy‘s Anthony Stewart Head, Spy Kids’ Alexa Vega, Phantom of the Opera‘s Sarah Brightman, TCM2‘s Bill Moseley, Romeo + Juliet‘s Paul Sorvino, Skinny Puppy’s Ogre, “the Paris Hilton Sex Tape”‘s Paris Hilton and some guy named Terrance Zdunich (who also co-wrote this musical endeavor).
There’s more here to talk about than I expected, and Jon does his damnedest to get a word in edgewise to answer my queries. The finest performances in the film belong to Bill Moseley and Ogre…pffft!Īs for Repo!, a literal opera set in the not too distant future of 2056, I have many questions and comments. But, also to torture me a little bit because, hardy har har, it’s hilarious. And so, he suggested REPO! to me, just to hear what I have to say about it.
But, those closest to him (and now you) understand that this beloved friend of ours has a fashionably dark soul with strappy over-sized cargo pants, industrial goggles, and chunky boots with 1,000 buckles. He’s very unassuming, absolutely “normal,” for lack of a better descriptor. That is to say, his musical tastes often go the way of the Goth, in almost every iteration of the subculture (though not exclusively – he likes most all genres of music, too). Anthony Stewart Heads are gonna ROLL!!!!įor those of you who haven’t known Jon for nigh on 20 years like me, here’s a teensy bit about this pal-o-mine: He’s a Goth-not-goth. And there’s no better example than REPO! the Genetic Opera. My guest, Jon, who is fast becoming a regular co-host type guest, seems to also enjoy flipping the script on me by seemingly CONSTANTLY suggesting titles that make me wince with – if not agony – petty annoyance.
