FEATURE: No End In Sight: The Return of Milwaukee's "Randomized Musical Experiment", All Messed Up

FEATURE: It Ain't the Holy Grail: Erik the Viking

Though director and former Monty Python member Terry Jones eventually re-cut the film (and even let his son take a crack at doing the same), the problems plaguing 1989's Erik the Viking can't be solved by editing alone.

I talk to Terry Haller, founder of the Milwaukee Chapter of the Drink & Draw Social Club, to find out why art and alcohol go so damn well together.
