Kacky Walton spoke with Memphis filmmaker, artist, musician, and comic creator Mike McCarthy about the 30th anniversary screening of his cult classic film "Teenage Tupelo."
Described as “a semi-auto-bio sexploitation comedy-drama” and “an Elvis-obsessed autobiographical bump-and-grind Super 8 cinematic oddity,” the film was shown Wednesday, August 20 at Malco’s Studio on the Square. The evening also featured "Superthrift 2," a short film by Mike’s son, John Marvel.
In addition to the screening, the anniversary was marked with the release of a companion book offering an in-depth look at McCarthy’s career, life, and cultural obsessions.
