Synopsis:
Desmond remembers, and when his old chum Seth is delayed between connecting flights while passing through, he siezes the opportunity to exact a revenge. Coaxing the squeeky clean, platinum card carrying Seth into his rusty 65 GMC pick-up is no easy task, but once in the truck, the pair is off on a hell ride through New York City. As they careen across rotting bridges Seth describes his bright clean new life in Miami. Sucking down 40 oz. beers and gristly 75 cent burgers, Desmond shoves Seth's face into the brute energy and filth of his retro blue-collar New York City existence. Then the truck breaks down. Seth is trapped in the city. Desmond drags his friend from one disasterous episode of his life to the next and his plan to humiliate Seth starts to work, but before the screws can be really tightened, Seth's perfect life begins to crumble before Desmond's astonished eyes. The six-figure salary, the beach-front condo, and the dream fiance all evaporate and Seth collapses unconscious to the pavement. Desmond's vendetta is left empty-handed. He relents, carries Seth to a comfortable place, and in the morning returns the bedraggled but relatively intact Seth to the airport. In the final moments of the film Desmond, with a Herculean heave, tears himself from the grips of his oldest fear; being buried alive.

Quotes:
"The part in (Two Boneheads) where he's dragging his passed out friend up the stairs to his apartment really got to me. it was very melancholy -- i thought about how there are so many moments like that in a person's life, how we all like to have our perfect day and be busy and get things done, and pretend that that small little person inside who holds onto those memories, has been ax-murdered by the uber bitch-babe-stud that we've become -- and what a load of shit it is -- all that stuff is still there, i thought you got that in a really subtle great way." Sylvia Sichel

"The best Beat film since PULL MY DAISY. Harrison is the new Beat film director". Jonas Mekas

For a semi-avant-garde B&W 16mm nightcap, try Matthew Harrison's TWO BONEHEADS, a funny 27-minute ode to fucking up as a form of male bonding. Desmond (Christopher Grimm) is a the kind of guy who shows up for work at noon with a six-pack. His pal Seth (Evan Brenner) comes through town on his way to patching things up with his fiancˇe; he looks like a yuppie, but that's just his way of impressing her parents. The movie's about how these two can't get anything but drunk: it's the kind of smartass film-boy riff that falls flat unless you get the inflections right, and TWO BONEHEADS gets them right. Bonus points for Danny Brenner's music and the woman playing Bonnie Sushi, who cures Brenner's hangover by beating up on his foot.
