Impact Video Magazine

About This Movie

Impact Video Magazine is this eclectic mash-up of animation, documentary, and music that really captures a specific edge of the late '80s counter-culture. It’s hosted by Alex Winter, who brings a quirky charm, and interspersed with contributions from legends like Bill Hicks and Public Enemy. The pacing is all over the place, which actually adds to the charm, giving it that raw, underground vibe. It feels like you’re privy to a secret world. The art style is varied, with animation that feels both chaotic and intentional—definitely reflects the spirit of the time. And each segment feels like its own burst of energy, from the surreal visuals of Survival Research Labs to the mind-bending sounds of Butthole Surfers. It’s a product of its time, for sure.
