Nude on the Moon (1961) "Man discovers a nature camp on the moon!" Odds are you’ve never of the 1961 movie “Nude on the Moon,” but if its name sounds familiar that’s because in 2002 the name was borrowed by the B-52’s for their double-disc CD anthology. Where this movie starts to go off the rails is when the scientists are ready to do their cosmic …

Cowboys vs. Dinosaurs (2015) "Let the Best Species Win" The movie is set in present-day Montana, so unfortunately, the titular Cowboys are the modern-day rodeo type and not the Wild West type. This is disappointing, but not as disappointing as if it were the starting lineup of this year's Dallas Cowboys. The movie opens with a mining company blowin…

I Was a Teenage Wereskunk (2016) “It will scare the smell out of you.” Who’d have thunk he’d be a teenage wereskunk? This is the question the theme song asks, and the answer is absolutely nobody. Absolutely no one in this movie passes for a teenager either, like … not even close. The film is set in the 1950s, and I think some of these actors were a…

Breakin' 2 : Electric Boogaloo - 1984 "If you can't beat the system...break it!" In the first "Breakin’" movie, they rocked down to Electric Avenue.

Monster Brawl (2011) "It's the fight of the living dead!" As a rule, a movie’s quality drops by 20% for every professional wrestler in the cast.

But with this rule in mind, this movie has a 100% drop in qu…

Chatterbox (1977) "She talks with her what?" Tonight's Film Flop is the 1977 film “Chatterbox.” To summarize the plot of this movie in a manner that's podcast-friendly...

Spooks Run Wild (1941) For tonight's shitty cinema, I originally chose Spooks Run Wild. When I began to watch this movie and realized it was in black and white, I remembered there's the Cowardly Lion's useage of the word "spooks," and there's the War of Northern Aggression. To be honest, I wasn't brave enough to find out which one it is. Welcome to…

Ninja Cheerleaders (2008) "This Summer's Destination For Fun" Tonight’s Sh*tty Cinema is “Ninja Cheerleaders.” They’re high school cheerleaders by day, go-go dancers by night, and ninjas … by dusk, I guess.
