{"product_id":"the-el-duce-tapes-blu-ray-w-slip","title":"The El Duce Tapes [Blu-ray]","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe El Duce Tapes Blu-ray unearths a volatile, disturbing, and strangely revealing portrait of one of underground rock’s most infamous figures. In the early 1990s, aspiring filmmaker Ryan Sexton hauled a bulky camcorder into the sleaziest clubs and most derelict apartments of Hollywood, capturing hours of raw VHS footage of shock-rock provocateurs The Mentors and their notorious frontman El Duce. Long forgotten and never seen by the public, these tapes resurface three decades later through the team behind The Nightmare and Room 237, along with the editor of Leap of Faith: William Friedkin on The Exorcist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the footage is pieced together, The El Duce Tapes Blu-ray reveals a tragicomic, unsettling study of performance, provocation, and the man beneath the executioner’s hood. Moving somewhere between The Decline of Western Civilization and Crumb, the film interrogates what El Duce’s willfully offensive persona, self-destructive worldview, and cultural impact can still tell us about America today. Hailed as essential viewing and praised by John Carpenter as “dark and irresistible,” this documentary is confrontational, uncomfortable, and impossible to ignore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edirected by: Rodney Ascher\u003cbr\u003estarring: El Duce, Ryan Sexton, Steve Broy\u003cbr\u003e2019 \/ 104 min\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arrow Video","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46123331256390,"sku":null,"price":29.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0747\/8096\/6982\/files\/file_3ed7044d-b4ae-422f-af0b-1b11092cf645.jpg?v=1791343223","url":"https:\/\/peakbooks.co\/products\/the-el-duce-tapes-blu-ray-w-slip","provider":"Peak Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
