Hey! Why not leave us a nice review on iTunes if you like the show?
Up next episode? 1958′s The Fly.
Your pick for episode 14 sent me on an Edward D. Wood, Jr. bender this week. I watched Plan 9, Glen or Glenda, Bride of the Monster (okay, I skipped to the part where Bela Lugosi wrestles a motionless octopus) and Tim Burton’s genius biopic, Ed Wood. I can’t wait to hear the episode!
My favorite part about Plan 9 From Outer Space is the actor that plays the leader of the aliens, Bunny Breckinridge. First, that is the greatest name ever second only to Saxby Chambliss and second he makes Clay Aiken look like Ving Rhames. There simply was not enough Bunny Breckinridge in this flick. That is where this movie stumbled, in my opinion.
One of my favorites. I mean, if you’re going to watch a bad movie, why no go all out?
What amazes me about Ed Wood is that someone who was so driven to make movies seems to care so little about the finished product. Or at least, making the finished product cohesive at all.
Suggestions for future episodes: since you’re on this early 80′s kick, I’d love to see you review an alleged “comedy” from this era like THE TOY or D.C. CAB. There’s so much mediocrity during that time period it would be interesting to see your take on a film that was TRYING to be funny (and failing)
Loved the episode guys, but you missed the worst line ever in a movie:
“Inspector Clay’s been killed, murdered, and one thing’s for sure, somebody’s responsible!”
If it’s ever available on Netflix streaming, you should also do Robot Monster, I honestly can”t decide which is the worse movie between the two of them.
I tried, and I tried… I only made it through 45 minutes of this movie. I just couldn’t take it any more! Now I can see why this was considered the worst movie ever made!
Ah, this is the epitome of a bad alien movie.
Recommended watching for any sci-fi enthusiast.
At 2 minutes and 10 seconds in, I knew i had to watch the whole movie just for who was in charge of Wardrobe. It was the infamous “Dick Chaney”! Anyone else catch this?
Hi,
Thank you for making a podcast about movies. Very origional and funny.
I’ve got a problem with downloading with iTunes, the link keeps on ending, this started about 2 weeks ago, do others have the same problems?
Let me know.
I’m writing a good review on iTunes for your show and at the end of the month I’ll give a contribution.
Love ya all and keep on going,
Koen Baart from Holland
Great episode guys! Definitely getting better every episode! Though I must say I would definitely like to see an episode based on a “B” movie from say the 90′s or 00′s. Something I could pick up on Bluray for like $10 there are a lot of newish bad movies Ive seen on say Amazon that I would love to see but don’t want to risk the $ and cant find them on the net to watch so that would be great. Either way keep up the great work and looking forward to the next episode(which I just downloaded).
Years ago in Los Angeles I was a mail clerk at this small Law Office… maybe about 50 lawyers. One of the head partners there was Bela Lugosi’s son. He looked a lot like him, but was rather tall an thin. Also his hair was quite peppered. All I can say is the guy seemed to be very weird and not very happy of the fame and notoriety. I have had the movie in my To Watch pile… but now that I know there is a Science 3000 version of it I will watch that instead. That way I know I will watch it. Sometimes I go to watch the movies you reviewed, but if the review is too horrible I can’t bring myself to watch the movie. But I definitely wish to watch this one.
