Fans still smarting from the critical and box office drubbing received by the Jem And The Holograms movie can take some solace in knowing that the franchise’s creator, Christy Marx, is an awesome woman who had nothing to do with that abomination. Marx is the subject of the premiere episode of a new video series at The Front called Off Hollywood, billed as “a documentary series that covers influential and under-recognized filmmakers and gives them a chance to tell their story.” Off Hollywood is the brainchild of analog video artist JJ Stratford and has a strong vintage feel, perfect for discussing the extremely 1980s Jem series with the woman who helped bring it into existence.
