Episode 2 of Joe Riley’s underground classic The Hypnotic Eye, beamed out of the pre-YouTube ether in 1996. In this gloriously unhinged tour through global pop detritus, Mr. Eye and his sidekick Donny take you on a mind-melting multicultural ride featuring Ted Lyons, The Ramones, Tiny Tim, Lancelot Link, and yes — William Shatner’s legendary spoken-word meltdown of “Rocket Man.”
This isn’t diversity training — this is culture shock therapy through a busted VHS lens. It’s weird, it’s wired, and it’s everything that made public access the last honest television.
Take the trip — your brain may never fully return.
