The fan-produced documentary is an engaging history of “The Dr. Demento Show” up to date, covering the lasting impact of funny music on popular culture, and including interviews with dementites (the famous and the nearly famous) connected to and/or inspired by the show over its four decades and counting. It also serves as the definitive profile of musicologist Barret Hansen, his musical roots and his mission, in his own words. It follows Hansen from his Minneapolis childhood, through his Master’s degree in Folk Music Studies from UCLA, and on to donning the heavy top hat of Dr. Demento in 1970 and carrying it into both the Comedy Music AND Radio Halls of Fame! Packed with brand new interviews, fan memories, insane archival footage, and original animation! Let’s celebrate the music we all grew up with as we finally get to know the man beneath the top hat who has served it to us on a black platter every weekend in “UNDER THE SMOGBERRY TREES!” |
