Overview

Blank-faced bug killer Bill Lee and his dead-eyed wife, Joan, like to get high on Bill’s pest poisons while lounging with Beat poet pals. After meeting the devilish Dr. Benway, Bill gets a drug made from a centipede. Upon indulging, he accidentally kills Joan, takes orders from his typewriter-turned-cockroach, ends up in a constantly mutating Mediterranean city and learns that his hip friends have published his work—which he doesn’t remember writing.

Viewing Notes

My second movie at the Sci-Fi Spectacular: Naked Lunch (1991). I’ve attempted to watch this in the past but never finished. This was a pretty scratched up print but great to watch despite the fucking moron girls talking the entire time. Definitely one to revisit.
