“BOYS GO TO JUPITER,” 366 WEIRD MOVIES GOES TO JULIAN GLANDER FOR AN INTERVIEW

Giles and Greg talk to independent animator Julian Glander about his critical hit Boys Go to Jupiter, about math prodigy / high school dropout / Grubster drone Billy 5000 and his encounters with customers, experimental citrus farms, and aliens. We talk about blender animation, baby ducklings, hammer entrepreneurship, and how to get a free deep-fried taco in Tampa, FL. And what’s up with the hot dog guy?

(ALMOST) EVERYTHING IS E-LUCID-ATED

Partially experimental, partially dreamlike, and partially confounding: that is the Lucid experience. 366 sat down with that film’s co-directors and star in an attempt to sift through the symbolism. As a result of this long-form interview, listeners will have some of their questions answered, though with plenty still left to conjecture—as befits a nebulous dream-quest coming of age drama-horror-comedy.
