Like one of its subjects, "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" is a high powered mutant of some kind, never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die. Terry Gilliam's adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson's drug-fueled gonzo odyssey takes Johnny Depp beyond the boundaries of reality (at least as far as psychotropics will allow) to create an experience that truly is far out. We're joined by podcaster Case Aiken (www.certainpov.com) to celebrate what a long strange trip this is.
