/ Jalopy Hour
Jalopy Hour was conceived as a TV series shot in different American cities, exploring their cultural histories by the use of an absurdist lexicon borrowed from Ernie Kovacs, Lord Buckley and Buster Keaton. They describe New Orleans as ›the only city where Jalopy Hour could be filmed, the only (place) possessing the sense of stepping into another time, of preserved antiquity and colonial decay, of conflict resolution reached through the mouth of a bottle.‹ - Caspar Stracke
