Armed with renewed piano-shredding, ukulele-smashing, tongue-twisting musical skills, Wood performs his uniquely dramatic and emotional style of standup and songwriting in bars, wineries, cabarets, and theaters. In Slouching Towards Branson, Will Wood interweaves deep cuts and hits alike from across his chaotically diverse discography with a darkly absurdist story about a psychedelic revelation that led him to take an ex-girlfriend and a dying rat to a timeshare presentation in the notorious 'Christian Las Vegas' of Missouri. Along the way, Wood and the ill-fated victims of his fumbling for a sense of control meet a cast of bizarre characters and experience unprecedented misfortunes, and as he unravels this 'about as true as a true story can be while still being a story,' so does the storyteller. Darkly philosophical, politically prescient, and emotionally raw, while still proudly shaking its jazz hands, saying, 'it's showtime!' Slouching leads audiences on a morbidly goofy yet unexpectedly emotional journey that, despite being about Wood's personal life, is about something else entirely. 'Slouching' has been hailed as 'maximally creative and innovate' (V13), with critics raving about the 'genius' of it, saying 'the man came back swinging... a gift for finding humor in existential dread.' (Desert Sounds) and described it as 'oscillating wildly between side-splitting humor and near spiritual experience,' (KJHK). The special has been selected by film festivals around the world, winning awards for everything from the music to the acting to the film itself. Wood's first special blends his strengths in a way that will surprise yet satisfy long-time fans, and serve as a great entry point into his work for newcomers.\u003c\/p\u003e         \u003ch2\u003eMedia\u003c\/h2\u003e         \u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JbBCXD9ET-w\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e    \u003c\/p\u003e        \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCast \u0026amp; Crew\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eActors:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e      Will Wood\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirector:\u003c\/strong\u003e Will Wood\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Will Wood\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e        \u003cli\u003eIntro\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eChapter One: Off With His Head\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eChapter Two: Rat Smugglers\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eChapter Three: You’re Going to Die\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eChapter Four: Embody the Darkness\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eEpilogue\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eCredits\u003c\/li\u003e          \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eAdditional Details\u003c\/h2\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hostile City\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Alternative\/Punk\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRun Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 106 mins\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0       \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 08\/07\/26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 860013693138\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"HOSTILECI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47656972550374,"sku":"HCD-WW08DVD","price":21.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1776\/5371\/files\/HCD-WW08DVD.jpg?v=1778681836","url":"https:\/\/roninflix.com\/products\/will-wood-slouching-towards-branson-indie-exclusive-dvd","provider":"Ronin Flix","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
