The Rock-afire Explosion
As an adult, it's not unusual to look back at the staples of your childhood and realize they were all vaguely creepy. Such is definitely the case with Showbiz Pizza and its animatronic band, The Rock-afire Explosion. A group of musical robots in animal suits, it didn't get any weirder, and now it's memorialized in a documentary, called The Rock-afire Explosion, screening tonight at Anthology Film Archives. There will be pizza. (Via The Moment.)
