This is Gwar

This is a documentary on the band known as Gwar. These are my people If you’re like me, then you might have heard of Gwar but never really paid close attention to who they are or what they are all about. Gwar is a blood spewing, monster ejaculating, punk/thrash metal band. This largely theatrical, costumed, gross out band was founded from a few students attending Virginia Commonwealth University, in Richmond, Virginia in 1984. These were art students who loved Dungeons & Dragons and comic books - geeks - who were told comic book art wasn't art. So, with a rebellious attitude of screw-you-art-department, went to make a science fiction film and got a local band Death Piggy to perform the soundtrack. Death Piggy and costumed theatre geeks merged and birthed out the monster now known as Gwar. This is a fun documentary, as fun as any rock band documentary; maybe the most fun ever! With over a hundred different band members, the documentary follows the main crew from inception to now. It's a hell of a fun ride. Catch "This is Gwar" streaming on Shudder.
