The Short Ends: Austin in Acidland
2 tim•12 augusti 2026
I know it's labeled a Short End, but it's actually not that short. But the spirit of the Short End is still with us. For this entry in our bonus episode series, we are joined by Austin Miller, film archivist and technical coordinator for the Mid-Atlantic Regional Moving Image Archive (MARMIA), to discuss a short film he provided to the Vinegar Syndrome Archive for use on the recent, very sold out, Reviver 3 home video release (we will be saying the word "short" and "archive" a lot). That film, titled The Psychedelics, has been long-sought after by fans of buxom Sunset Strip dancer turned "actress" (in the heaviest quotes), Pat Barrington.
Patty B and an unknown blonde are the stars of the short, which was produced by the same company (Dyle IV) that made another film featuring trippy light effects, Ed De Priest's "mondo Hollywood underground," Hedonistic Pleasures. What's the connection between the two, if any? Who is Bob Beck, the man behind the visual effects? And what can we say about Paul Hunt, the man often cited as the director of this acid dreamy short?
Listen to find out all that and more, including a new segment of Weirdo on the Street from our Gap Grindhouse correspondent, Jeffery "The Sponsor" Petrone, plus a story about how Casey almost got beat up by Tura Satana. So drop a tab, take a puff from your wackiest cigarette, and get psyched with us as we peer through the kaledoscopic lens at the end of hippiedom and the new era of film preservation. Bring your own sitar.
