Programmer's Pick

When your time machine is a magical watch and your destinations are history’s most scandalous bedrooms, subtlety isn’t on the itinerary. A Clockwork Blue is where American sexploitation collides with the toga party, all under the watchful gaze of a celestial peanut gallery.

Overview

A Clockwork Blue follows Homer, a bumbling researcher whose life takes a wild turn when he comes into possession of a magical time-traveling watch. Thrust into the pages of history, Homer’s journey isn’t so much about learning lessons as it is about landing in a series of bawdy, irreverent encounters with some of civilization’s most notorious personalities. From Caesar to Marie Antoinette, and Betsy Ross to King Louis XVI, Homer’s temporal escapades are as absurd as they are salacious. Meanwhile, his antics are watched from above by a man in heaven—on a watermelon-shaped television, no less. Expect playful costumes, historical parody, and an unapologetically X-rated sense of humor throughout this cheeky sexploitation romp.
