whatever organ it is they rented, gets repossessed. Those who default on payments get butchered by THE REPO MAN!, i.e. And so a company called GeneCo was formed to loan the suffering masses replacement organs – and even elective surgeries. But the backdrop is a world in which much of society had suffered from organ failures for no discernible reason. It’s a story of family betrayals, and THAT’S IT. This is the guy who co-wrote Repo! ~Co-wrote Repo?~ Co-wrote Repo! This is the guy who co-wrote Repo! and dosey-doe your partner!

Repo! Stars Buffy‘s Anthony Stewart Head, Spy Kids’ Alexa Vega, Phantom of the Opera‘s Sarah Brightman, TCM2‘s Bill Moseley, Romeo + Juliet‘s Paul Sorvino, Skinny Puppy’s Ogre, “the Paris Hilton Sex Tape”‘s Paris Hilton and some guy named Terrance Zdunich (who also co-wrote this musical endeavor). There’s more here to talk about than I expected, and Jon does his damnedest to get a word in edgewise to answer my queries. The finest performances in the film belong to Bill Moseley and Ogre…pffft!Īs for Repo!, a literal opera set in the not too distant future of 2056, I have many questions and comments. But, also to torture me a little bit because, hardy har har, it’s hilarious. And so, he suggested REPO! to me, just to hear what I have to say about it. But, those closest to him (and now you) understand that this beloved friend of ours has a fashionably dark soul with strappy over-sized cargo pants, industrial goggles, and chunky boots with 1,000 buckles. He’s very unassuming, absolutely “normal,” for lack of a better descriptor. That is to say, his musical tastes often go the way of the Goth, in almost every iteration of the subculture (though not exclusively – he likes most all genres of music, too).

Anthony Stewart Heads are gonna ROLL!!!!įor those of you who haven’t known Jon for nigh on 20 years like me, here’s a teensy bit about this pal-o-mine: He’s a Goth-not-goth. And there’s no better example than REPO! the Genetic Opera. My guest, Jon, who is fast becoming a regular co-host type guest, seems to also enjoy flipping the script on me by seemingly CONSTANTLY suggesting titles that make me wince with – if not agony – petty annoyance.
