Type in counter culture as a keyword here at IMDb and you'll get lots of documentaries and a few good movies. (By rating this comes up # 61) But nothing comes up when you type in anti culture or anti pop culture. That's where this movie belongs. There's nothing out there to compare this to.
Simon Geist hates everything Pop. It's all evil. He goes about proving this by degrading rock bands, actors, comics and models in a imaginary magazine titled The Next Big Thing. People want to be The Next Big Thing so he does his best to make sure they aren't. Adored and revered by his platonic girlfriend Darla. She hopes she's the only one to understand him. And she is, until Tedra the model comes along and spoils everything.
This indie film stands alone, like Simon Geist. Surrounded by the banal, mundane, cliché world of big budget box office success. Writer/Director/Actor Dan Zukovic created a bizarre and unique character and took it to the limit. Great soundtrack too.
