Bad Bad Jo Jo

About This Movie

Bad Bad Jo Jo is one of those strange curiosities that leaves you scratching your head. Kayo Hathaway’s creation, a twisted comic strip character, is brought to life in a way that feels so raw and unfiltered. The pacing has this off-kilter rhythm, reflecting Hathaway's cynical worldview and the dark humor woven throughout. The performances are a bit rough around the edges, adding to the film’s distinct atmosphere. You can’t help but notice how the themes of racism and societal decay bubble to the surface, making it a peculiar time capsule of the era. It’s definitely not your typical flick, but that’s what makes it stand out in any collection.

Bad Bad Jo Jo holds a niche place in the collector's realm, often discussed among those who appreciate underground cinema from the 70s. Its format history is sparse, with only a few known releases, which contributes to its scarcity. As such, it draws interest from collectors who admire the more bizarre aspects of film history and the commentary embedded in its unsettling narrative.
