Like-O-Rama 31 - HR Giger by Dan and Aaron Like-O-Rama published on 2021-10-17T15:32:41Z This week we're talking about the Swiss artist HR Giger. Giger is most well-known for his artwork that became the basis for the xenomorphs in the "Alien" franchise. He also created album art for various bands, had significant success as an exhibiting artist, and published an art book, "Necronomicon", that made a big impact in the worlds of art and Hollywood. Giger is known for his mixtures of the body and technology. His work often blurs the line between humans and machines, as well as often incorporating designs inspired by insects, mollusks, genitals, and other less-than-wholesome items. NOTES / DON'T @ US: - We incorrectly said he was German, but corrected ourselves about halfway in, so it's a draw. - Debbie Harry was in the original version of "Hairspray", not the remake. - We found clips of Jello Biafra, Tipper Gore, and others debating obscenity from a couple of episodes of Oprah, but not the clip Aaron mentioned where the comparison is made between dirty words, depictions of violence, and the crucifix imagery in churches. We're sure it's out there, but don't care enough to track it down. It could also very well be Gwar, since they're into that topic too. Ice-T made good points as well. Genre Entertainment
