The film, released for digital download on September 4th and set to air on PBS in October, can be utilized as a retrospective of “how we got to now” or at the very least, a cautionary tale about art, internet communities, and digital linguistics. Perhaps it’s the only way to tell a story as strange as the Pepe the Frog narrative and the artist that conceived him. Jones’s approach is holistic, and the film contains interviews from meme scholars, psychologists, occultists, forum posters, and Matt Furie’s friends and loved ones.
