We’ve seen Director Eli Roth Split Open Skulls Earl Routed. “Catchy borders to torture, the theme song for Roth’s latest archive edition goes a bit like …
♫ Rotten fruit … We’re the rotten fruit … the most popular band in Wooorld! ♫
Celebrates the 25th anniversary by finally making their streaming debut on the platform Slurva Today, April 18, “The Rotten Fruit” is a cult classic web series created by Roth and Noah Belson. A childhood friend of the Gonzo film creator, better known for genre fans for his credit as a guitar man in “Cabin Fever”, Belson grew up and made films with Roth I Newton, Massachusetts. As he lived in LA and tried to break into the industry together, the couple developed “The Rotten Fruit” for the now -off Z.com 2000.
Despite a high goal of becoming “HBO on the Internet”, Z.com released only three of the eight sections Roth, Belson and their animation The crew made on a shoestring budget. The other five part payments have either never been released or remained completely invisible, until now. When these so -called “new” episodes were published online, the duo told IndieWire, the site said completely bankrupt.
“Although it was limited in terms of who saw it, we had many who contacted us and asked about more episodes,” Roth told Indiewire. The director not only wrote, animated and edited on the project but composed and also performed his outrageous songs; Belson and Roth expressed the role of the shorts.
“We had an e -mail list with thousands of people on the one who constantly asked:” When will more “rotten fruit” episodes come out? “, Roth said.” Now it’s like, “We’re working on it. Really.”
“Give us 25 more years, maybe,” Joked Belson. “But we’ll get you a little more.”
When they spoke to IndieWire over Zoom, the reunited collaborators shared their hope of reviving the “rotten fruit” as a Modern satire soon. They also reflected on the ridiculousness of the original production – a “crazy” most important socal summer that, for good or bad, sounds like the action in their own film. From the pitfalls with early web financing to a garden pool filled with alligators, “The Rotten Fruit” got as Rock-and role behind the scenes When its edible punk rocker looks sliced and diced on stage.
