Borne out of an understanding of the role that accessibility plays in shaping cultural histories, Muscle is dedicated to complicating and expanding the canon by shining a light on works that either never received their proper due or that have unjustly faded into obscurity, and championing new works by some of today’s most exciting underground filmmakers.

As Robin’s terminally unemployed husband Lenny begins shifting his attention away from the job hunt and towards the local trade(smen), she finds herself having to hit the streets to bring home the bacon. Meanwhile, Lorraine’s husband Ben has mysteriously gone missing and Linnea just can’t seem to find anyone who’ll let her borrow a cup of detergent. And what role does the Gay Neighbor play in all of this?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommissioned by videomaker John Dorr for EZTV’s inaugural screenings at the West Hollywood Community Center in 1982, AS THE WORLD BURNS is an experimental three-part gay soap opera that was made using early consumer video equipment for the low cost of just $75.88 (the 88 cents were for the special effects). A wickedly funny satire on the narrative and aesthetic conventions of soaps, the banality of mainstream gay culture, and America’s rightward shift at the turn of the 80s, AS THE WORLD BURNS is also perhaps the very first piece of media to explicitly reference the the nascent AIDS epidemic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p-rich_text_block\" dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003edirected by: Ken Camp\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003estarring: Leonard Lumpkin, Curtis Hill, Wes Christiansen, James Robert Baker, Glen Meadmore\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1981-1984 \/ 120 min (combined) \/ 1.33:1 \/ English DTS-HD MA 2.0\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"c-message_kit__blocks c-message_kit__blocks--rich_text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"c-message__message_blocks c-message__message_blocks--rich_text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p-block_kit_renderer\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p-block_kit_renderer__block_wrapper p-block_kit_renderer__block_wrapper--first\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p-rich_text_block\" dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAdditional info:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"c-message_kit__blocks c-message_kit__blocks--rich_text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"c-message__message_blocks c-message__message_blocks--rich_text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p-block_kit_renderer\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p-block_kit_renderer__block_wrapper p-block_kit_renderer__block_wrapper--first\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p-rich_text_block\" dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRegion Free Blu-ray\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNew digital transfers of HIGHWAY HYPNOSIS and AS THE WORLD BURNS from their original 3\/4”, Beta, and VHS masters\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNew restorations of THE SECRET LIFE OF PATTY HEARST (1976) and SHOCK VIDEO (1985) from their Super 8 camera reversals\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAudio commentaries with videomaker Ken Camp\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOuttakes and behind-the-scenes footage\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBooklet with writing by queer film and video historian KJ Shepherd\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnglish SDH subtitles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Muscle","offers":[{"title":"Limited Edition Slipcover","offer_id":44894307844138,"sku":"MD-009 SLIP","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard Edition","offer_id":44894307876906,"sku":"MD-009","price":26.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/3025\/4180\/files\/Highway_Hypnosis_P1_MD-009_B73QN.jpg?v=1790102200","url":"https:\/\/vinegarsyndrome.com\/products\/highway-hypnosis","provider":"Vinegar Syndrome","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
