039 - Phil Tippett, The Mad God.

Absent the rest of the gang, Michelle and Jake decide to chew on the mind of a very singular artist who has released a very singular film. Join them as they discuss the documentary Phil Tippet: Mad Dreams and Monsters as well as Tippett's magnum opus, Mad God. Special effects and stop-motion prodigy, Tippett has touched an extraordinary number of culturally influential films. He spent the last 30 years working on and off on his personal film. In the vein of our episode regarding Aaron Fechter, Pig Iron presents a deep dive into the work and influence of an artist who has devoted his life to doing things his own way.
