Two Black Comedies by Joel Potrykus

Working defiantly out of Grand Rapids, Michigan, underground auteur Joel Potrykus makes scrappy, darkly comic portraits of the losers, slackers, metalheads, outcasts, and weirdos raging against the system as they struggle to get by on the margins of America’s heartland. Starring Potrykus himself alongside his Keatonesque regular Joshua Burge, the caustic, apocalyptically funny Buzzard and its startling quasi-sequel Vulcanizadora are raw, anarchic visions of alienated masculinity hurtling toward shocking self-destruction.
