Omar Rodr\u00edguez-L\u00f3pez and Cedric Bixler-Zavala are the lanky, bubble-permed twosome who formed the backbone of the post-hardcore band At the Drive-In who, at the height of their popularity, dissolved and became percussive prog band The Mars\u00a0Volta.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nicolas Jack Davies\u2019s compelling and surprising documentary splices together home footage captured by Rodr\u00edguez-L\u00f3pez and lots of behind-the-scenes titbits while the two pass the baton back and forth when it comes to narrating the tumultuous story of their lives. This includes emotional reflections on beloved bandmates dropping like flies; dealing with the regressive political attitudes of certain sections of rock fandom; fame and its attendant traumas; a\u00a0jack-knifing journey into and then out of the world of Scientology; and just the ebb and flow of a\u00a0friendship whose bonds have not always been able to carry the strain of tragic events. Even to a\u00a0viewer who\u2019s not particularly taken by their idiosyncratic and knowingly difficult sound, it\u2019s a\u00a0pleasure to be in the company of two people who are so proficient at articulating their inner feelings.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-10 bg-[var(--color-background-accent)] font-primary text-[16px] font-bold rounded-[16px] p-8\">\n<h3 class=\"!mb-4 text-[24px]\">Get more Little White\u00a0Lies<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '844332942710770');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/lwlies.com\/reviews\/omar-and-cedric-if-this-ever-gets-weird\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Rather than the usual commemorative victory lap that these toadying music doc profiles tend towards, Omar and Cedric: If This Ever Gets Weird opts<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":348928,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[166],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/348927"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=348927"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/348927\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/348928"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=348927"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=348927"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=348927"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
