Watching public-access TV feels sometimes like you're in another country watching religious rituals, but these independent faves are true Austin. Our homespun conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and the creator of the Austin Movie Show Jegar Erickson are both at home with this low-budget format. The realistic lighting and audio complement both Jones' one-on-one-style rants about 9/11, as well as AMS's delightfully down-to-earth movie parodies, industry updates, and live-music performances. They're a fun break from the glossy production style of mainstream TV.
