"The phone is ringing. It should be answered!"
Jesse Walker came across Telezonia (1974), a manic, deranged, phantasmagoric AT&T instructional film. It shows children how to workship use the mad god-thing telephone.
Of course parts are disturbing. The gleeful seduction of children out of daily life reminds me of Big Bunny (Amy Winfrey, sheer genius). "Hey, let's just jump down this Freudian eruption into our living room!" The awesome might, magical powers, and sinister capabilities of The Phone Company are right out of the climax of The President's Analyst (1967) (speaking of sheer genius). And ah, the voice of control seeping out of the phone, the dizzying moment as the children find themselves turning towards the thing, looking around for the source of the compulsion, and being instructed in obedience by frantic, costumed, slippery djinns.
This requires mashup.
