Always a pleasure to spend time with Joe & Whitney. Given all the things you think you know about these extraordinary personalities/artists, the doc is full of surprises and marrow-deep interludes, showing how the extremities of human existence can all be bound up in love. It's a spiritual text.

Works by American artist Karl Wirsum, 1960s-70s, a member of the Hairy Who group of Chicago artists known for their playful sense of humor and often maximalist, colorful styles.
Cartoon-like painting of an abstract alien figure made up of symmetrical green, blue, and yellow shapes, surrounded by strange, possibly robotic figures floating around them. The background is bright orange with yellow squiggle lines.Cartoon-like painting of an abstracted femme figure with blue skin seen from the front, with a yellow and blue pattern outfit and long purple gloves with squiggly fingers, and yellow and black hair that looks like fire or lightning. Behind them is a spiky black pattern over a purple background. Cartoon-like painting in a warm palette of a standing figure made up of various colorful, abstract symmetrical shapes. Above them is the text "Screamin J Hawkin" in red and yellow letters. The background is bright red with abstract squiggle shapes.Cartoon-like print of a large abstract orange and yellow head made up of various shapes and objects, with a blue hairdo. The background is bright yellow-green with dark green curving lines. Multicolor text at the bottom says "Whats the coinfusion I cant make heads or tails of it? Sum one flipped! Now that makes cents".
