An unusual new documentary will appeal to horror film fans, Texas history buffs and Hollywood legend obsessives. With a unique narrative style reminiscent of a journalist cranking out quirky stories, Rondo and Bob chronicles the life of Robert A. Burns, the eccentric horror film art director from Austin.

{Burns} had packed up all his stuff and put it in boxes. One of them was a Rondo (Hatton) box with lots of photos and lots of articles and the letters from Mae. That box became the backbone of Rondo and Bob.

Rondo and Bob includes interviews and recreations of key moments from both men's personal lives and in the industry as they sought self-acceptance. Sadly, neither would find it. Hatton died of a heart attack brought on by his condition at 51. Burns took his own life at 60 while suffering from kidney cancer.

In the late 1960s, a stuntman wanders into Spahn Ranch and thoroughly convinces one of its long-haired residents to fix a vehicle for him. No, dear reader, I’m not describing a scene from Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood. I’m describing a scene from the real life of Gary Kent, the subject of a new and wonderfully titled documentary, Danger God, directed by Joe O’ Connell. Now that’s something you have embroidered on the back of a leather jacket

Gary Kent is a Badass. Yeah, that's with a capital "B," buster.

Gary Kent has heard sentences no person wants to hear.

Here’s an example: “All your ribs are broken.”
