This marvelous, mostly animated doc/drama hybrid couldn't have come along at a better time. I wouldn't have minded to learn a little bit more about the early years of Brinkley, but it's just a minor quibble. Truck driver Edgar and his five-year-old son, Alan, embark on a drive across the country. at: Sign up for Penny's mailing to become a person who receives occasional updates on things she is doing! Using animated reenactments, interviews, archival footage, and a hilariously unreliable narrator, Along the way, he transplants tens of thousands of goat testicles; amasses an enormous fortune; is (sort of) elected Governor of Kansas; builds the world’s most powerful radio station; invents junk mail, the infomercial, the sound-truck and Border Radio; hosts some epic parties; and annoys the heck out of the establishment, until finally his audacious actions force the federal government to create regulations to stop him.How he does it, and what happens when it all comes crashing down, is the story of I started dreaming up a film about John Brinkley in 2009, after coming across the book Well… no, of course it didn’t.

Narrated by Michael Fassbender, 1 (available on iTunes) is an in-depth look at the tumultuous era of Formula 1 racing in the 1960s and 1970s. Director Penny Lane (Our Nixon) showcases, with wit and suspense, the undoing of one of the 20th century's great flimflam artists, a huckster who seized then-new communication technologies - and the trappings of Christian divinity - to convince Americans of profitable nonsense.Don't let the synopsis fool you, there's much more here than a simple movie about a guy who likes to put goat balls in people...[Lane] explores the peculiar and undeniably fascinating story of Brinkley in what is easily an early contender doc of the year...The filmmakers and animators struck a pitch perfect tone for this odd little slice of Americana, and any curator of the weird stories that are hardwired into our country's history will throughly enjoy this film.
