Classic case of “title says it all”: Buddies Roscoe and Benny are all jacked up and literally full of worms. Blasé and fed up with the world, the two modern-day slackers roam Chicago until one of them helps himself to one of the titular worms. This is when Alex Phillips’s debut turns into a quixotic, hallucinogenic slacker trip chock-full of bizarre characters and even more outlandish ideas culminating in a slurping, slimy finale. All Jacked Up and Full of Worms is small, wild, and free—tasteless and disgusting, an avant-horror experience iridescent in its sleaze and happy in its underground spot—after all, that’s where all the worms live, too.

Uncle Bobbo teaches everyone where oil comes from. This is bookended by the history of the natural world, starting with the rise and fall of the dinosaurs. Then continuing with the violation of creation and with the recreation and rebirth of a more perfect humanity. (Joe Badon)
