Why this pick
Its dysfunctional family, cheerfully tasteless musical detours, abrupt genre shifts, and gleeful bodily grotesquerie echo the anarchic, anything-can-happen comic logic of The Greasy Strangler.
Why this pick
For the same pleasure in unnervingly flat performances and a bizarre social universe treated as perfectly normal, this is a drier, more controlled kind of absurdist discomfort.
Why this pick
A profoundly strange, abrasive outsider comedy with deliberately disorienting performances and an innocent-but-unsettling central figure; it shares the cult-film willingness to push bad taste into surreal territory.
Why this pick
This filthy, low-rent nightmare comedy turns show-business desperation into grotesque body horror, matching the scrappy texture and proudly repellent humor of The Greasy Strangler.
Why this pick
Less comic but similarly feverish, it offers neon-saturated cult-movie excess, outsized weirdos, and a commitment to an unreal visual and sonic atmosphere over conventional realism.

01 / THE STORY
Big Ronnie runs a disco-themed walking location tour in his town, alongside his son Big Brayden. Ronnie allows Brayden to live with him on the condition that Brayden prepares excessively greasy food for him. Ronnie is a Pathological lying who fabricates stories about disco groups like Bee Gees, as well as his supposed friendship with Michael Jackson. Brayden aspires to be a Science fantasy author. Ronnie asserts that Brayden drove his mother away, though Brayden says that she left Ronnie for a man named Ricky Prickles. Ronnie and Brayden frequently call each other "bullshit artists".
