Wrapping up our coverage of Chattanooga Film Festival 2019, tonight's episode focuses on films about Outcasts. After 15 episodes and almost three months of talking about Chatt Film Fest (both past and present), this episode is a little bittersweet. While we are looking forward to other themes that we have planned for future months, and while we still have a few more episodes in store that are going to be CFF adjacent (not directly part of our CFF coverage, but absolutely would not have been able to happen were it not for Chatt Film Fest!)...we had such an amazing time at CFF 2019 that we are a little sad to be bringing our coverage to a close. And while I loved every movie that I saw at CFF 2019 and have had an absolute blast talking about all of them, I think that this episode might be the best overall representation of the kinds of films that you are able to see at CFF! Sure, they all have a common theme of people who don't quite fit into mainstream society (which also fits nicely into talking about this crazy little family that is Chattanooga Film Festival), but with a documentary about the Satanic Temple, a Portuguese Troma Film, an indie dramedy that finds its humor in the absurdity of the mundane, and a punk rock classic with a social commentary that is just as powerful and relevant today as it was 36 years ago...each of these films are about as drastically different from each other as possible. So, join us as we take the goat by the horns in our discussion of religious freedom with Penny Lane's Hail Satan?...find out if we get blown away, or are simply Troma-tized, by Fernando Alle's Mutant Blast...butter you up for a movie that is far from half-baked with Patrick Wang's A Bread Factory, Part One...and find a home in our hearts for Penelope Spheeris's Suburbia!
