Matt Parker and Trey Stone, the creators of South Park and Team America: World Police, take great delight in shocking their audiences. But a few years ago, they took on a project that was shocking in a very different way. Alan Watts Theater was a series of six short films in which Parker and Stone animated the lectures of British philosopher Alan Watts. While the films are often humorous, the humor is in the service of presenting Watts' ideas, not mocking them. Not exactly what you'd expect from the creators of Mr. Hanky the Christmas Poo.

"Science fiction plucks from within us our deepest fears and hopes, then shows them to us in rough disguise: the monster and the rocket." - W.H. Auden

Who is he, this one who is called "Greg Stacy"?

Greg Stacy began the MONSTERS AND ROCKETS blog in April of 2009. Prior to that, he was editor of the popular sci-fi/horror news website DARKWOLDS.COM. He has also written for LA WEEKLY, OC WEEKLY, UTNE READER and LOS ANGELES CITYBEAT. He always feels weird writing about himself in the third person.
