In 2019, however, his film BLISS actually got a lot of praise from critics, receiving even better reviews than VFW. Outlets such as Variety, RogerEbert.com, Los Angeles Times, and the AV Club all reviewed it. And the movie holds a 90% on RottenTomatoes.\n\n\n\nDezzy (Dora Madison Burge) is a semi-successful artist who\u2019s had album covers and large showings of her work. She\u2019s sold paintings for large amounts, but recently she\u2019s had an artistic roadblock. Her agent is hounding her, and many clients are concerned that their investments won\u2019t be produced. One night she gets involved with old friends and rejoins the drug culture that she had been trying to avoid. Soon she discovers a horrible secret that may change her life forever.\n\n\n\nWith its psychedelic mood, and the apt amounts of blood and nudity, the film has become an acquired taste for some even if many feel it is well made. It most certainly a throw back to the crazy films of the 1970\u2019s midnight theaters. Dark Discussions takes a look at this well received \u201cgrindhouse\u201d film and gives their thoughts.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/25ae1cc6-b914-40f3-a90a-2515695f164d/dark-discussions-episode-426-bliss-mp3-image.jpg"}
