It’s go time, people. If you are planning on attended this years Nerdtacular event, head over here and get your tickets reserved while they last! They are going quick and we only have a limited number.

All details about the event, and years past, can be found on the Nerdtacular site as usual. Lots of Film Sackers expected this year. Gonna be fun! – Scott

Taking one off for the new years holiday! But fear not, we will be back and in full force the following week. Next up for us? A blacksploitation western called, “Take a hard ride“. Followed up the next with, “Runaway“.

Check out some of the other FrogPants Studios shows in the meantime, and look for a new show the first week of the new year! HAPPY 2010, EVERYONE!

Time to polish up on your Greek mythology, and join us in tasting again of this 1981 classic. If stop motion puppetry and metallic robot owls are your thing, yer freaking set! Watch it on Netflix. (More info on IMDB)

Tomorrow is our 4th episode, the one about Red Sonja, and you still have time to watch this gem from the past if you move fast! We had a BALL watching this again, and we know you will too. Check back tomorrow for the episode, but for now, go consume this Reddest of Sonjas.

Found this list on Wikipedia and thought the Film Sack audience might get a kick out of it. Check out a sample:

Robot Monster (1953)

A science fiction film, originally shot and exhibited in 3D, featuring an actor dressed in a gorilla suit and what looks almost like a diving helmet. The film, produced and directed by Phil Tucker, is listed in Michael Sauter’s book The Worst Movies of All Time among “The Baddest of the B’s.” It is also featured in The Book of Lists 10 worst movie list, in The Fifty Worst Films of All Time, and in the 2004 DVD documentary The 50 Worst Movies Ever Made. The Golden Turkey Awards confers its main character the title of “Most Ridiculous Monster in Screen History” and, listing its director Phil Tucker among the runners-up to “Worst Director of All Time” (the winner being Ed Wood), states that “What made Robot Monster ineffably worse than any other low-budget sci-fi epic was its bizarre artistic pretension”. Noted film composer Elmer Bernstein wrote the score for this film. It was featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000 and was fondly remembered by author Stephen King who quotes, and agrees with, a review in Castle of Frankenstein magazine (“certainly among the finest terrible movies ever made”, “one of the most laughable poverty row quickies”).

Sounds like one I’d like to see! See the whole list here.

A reminder to all that our next film will be “2010: The Year We Make Contact”. Netflix streaming has it, and so should you! The new episode will air this Friday, November 6th, 2009.

Welcome to FilmSack! Let me quote the about page.

Each week, the FilmSack crew picks a strange movie from the bowels of Netflix streaming and splatters it all over your inner ear. Sometimes it’s a long forgotten horror movie from the 70′. Sometimes it’s a under the radar gem of brilliance from last year. One way or the other, this is not your typical movie show.
