ANYONE IN IT WE KNOW?

Jim Belushi, Dana Delany, Robert Loggia, David Warner, Angie Dickinson, Bebe Neuwirth, Brad Dourif,

WHAT’S IT ABOUT THEN?

Full on futuristic yarn set I Los Angeles in the year 2007. Virtual Reality is all the rage and Harry Wyckoff (Belushi) is given the job of producing Channel 3’s new holographic soap Church Windows, he soon comes to realise that the owners of the channel are caught up in the schemes of a cult called The Fathers.

SO IS IT ANY GOOD?

With its super glossy look and a high profile cast and crew Wild Palms was something of a victim of its own hype back in 1993 on its original showing, whilst never quite as good as it thinks it is Wild Palms is still very very watchable, full of surrealistic touches (especially the Rhino in the swimming pool), amazing sets and a complicated plot.

Based on Bruce Wagners comic strip and executive produced by Oliver Stone Wild Palm’s five episodes (here spread over two discs) were directed by the likes of Keith Gordson, Kathryn Bigelow and Phil Janou.

At its centre Wild Palms touches on themes familiar to followers of Stone’s work and is really an Orwellian trip into the black heart of American TV. Well worth catching up with.
