Reel Rap: William Greaves’ ‘Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Take One’

Greave’s under-seen and indescribable Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Take One gets the Reel Rap treatment this week

Reel Rap returns to address the protests going on around the globe and discuss William Greaves’ experimental documentary Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Take One. One time, during a job interview, Bennett said it was his favorite movie and had to try to explain the “plot.” He didn’t get the job! That’s just one of the wacky anecdotes shared on this week’s episode.

Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Take One is currently streaming for free as part of the Criterion Channel’s Black Lives series. Subscribers should also check out the documentary Discovering William Greaves for additional context on the filmmaker’s life and work. 

Shane and Bennett encourage any Reelheads who can to support organizations fighting against systemic racism. These include:

Bail Funds
Black Lives Matter
The Community Justice Action Fund
Communities United Against Police Brutality
Fair Fight
NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc.
Mutual Aid Groups

A comedy duo straight out of William Penn’s backyard, Bennett Glace, an adult Disney fan, and Shane Pfender, an ordained minister, have for years lent a critical eye to Hollywood’s most tedious auteurs. They are a comedy duo for film snobs and slobs alike. Exhausted by the current uninspired landscape of film criticism, the two work to find a new language with which to understand and interact with the films they cover on their inimitable podcast, Reel Rap.
