      After I read To Kill a Mockingbird in high school, my English teacher put on the movie
      When we got to the climax, the video began to lag.
      Well lag makes it sound like it stopped and played normally
      It would stop, then go super fast.
      I think the audio was playing normally so the visuals had to play catch up?
      I can’t remember what the audio was doing during this.
      Either way, it was freaking hilarious.
      I think the fact the playback broke during the most instead scene is what made it funny.
      All the effort that was put into the scene was ruined.
      And now whenever I think of To Kill a Mockingbird I think of that moment and giggle

      The album was a very cool discovery as well; it's not 100% book accurate, but as a whole, it's a very cool experience. It's driven a lot more by the book's short snippets of narration and various spanning leitmotifs, but man, the songs are just incredibly groovable ... in an eerie, apocalyptic, late 70's synth way.
