TERMINAL ZONE: Cinematic Visions of the End


CITIZENS OF SLAVE SHIP EARTH: PREPARE TO ENTER TERMINAL ZONE AT WYRD WAR HEADQUARTERS. SATURDAY JUNE 5, 2021. 6:00PM - 10:00PM. NO APPOINTMENT NECESSARY. 

For as long as humans have huddled together around primal fires, we have grimly prophesied the end of our world. It is almost symptomatic of civilization itself to fixate on the anxiety of our impending collective demise. Every major religion around the world espouses its own harrowing mythos of the End Times, Armageddon, Final Hour, Ragnarök, Day of Judgement, Rapture. However, none of these epic belief systems can compare to the coked out, mafia money laundering cinematic visions of our dark dystopian future as depicted by the film industry during the 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s. Teeming with rank tanning-bed sweat, hilariously rigid gender stereotypes and yawning punk extras, the post-apocalyptic genre tends to compensate for its general lack of funding and plot with excessive fog machines, bondage gear, hairspray, plastic armor, fearless stunt men, animated lasers and, occasionally, guinea pigs painted black to resemble giant radioactive rats. The results are almost always awesomely, stupefyingly and sardonically entertaining! 

Wyrd War proudly invites YOU to experience an absolutely overwhelming exhibition of original dark future film posters and rare memorabilia from around the world: TERMINAL ZONE! On display June 5 through July 3, 2021 only at the Wyrd War gallery! Please join us for the opening reception this Saturday June 5 from 6pm until 10pm. 

If you dare.
