After EL TOPO became a cult sensation in New York City and beyond, the doors were open for Alejandro Jodorowsky to begin work on his next film.

The resulting film — largely funded by John Lennon and Yoko Ono! — is one of the director's seminal works, a metaphysical journey through the Tarot and the other esoteric practices that Jodorowsky surrounded himself with. It's also, in keeping with tradition, really, really weird.

And like its predecessor, THE HOLY MOUNTAIN proved to be, and continues to be, a highly controversial work. In this episode, we'll trace the film's origins through production and release, and discuss its divisive legacy 50 years after its original run.

Theme Song: "There's Still a Little Bit of Time, If We Hurry and I Mean Hurry" by Slasher Film Festival Strategy.
