This is the only available video on Big Daddy Ed Roth I've found. I'm glad we have it. Wish there was more available.

I admit: I couldn't finish it. Not what I was expecting. Completely alienating to outsiders and has zero appeal to anyone not in the niche.

one strange documentary. flashing headlights to simulate talking cars? but i guess the filmmakers wanted the stories from the cars' perspectives.
