Jabootu's Bad Movie Dimension

That Love and Monsters cross over with The Neverending Story was weird.

More Love and Monsters. It's a bit too long (and hour 49 minutes; please, folks, 90 minutes!) but I have to say the monsters are winning me over. I might have to give this a look. Again, it's on Hulu.

I noticed Hulu has a movie called Love and Monsters, and apparently it has a lot of giant monsters. So that's cool.

Well, if you've got to go.....

The Japanese poster departments of the time seemed to think, "If the movie's for kids, make the poster look like it was designed by eight-year olds. Composition, bah!" I guess Space Gyaos was being reserved as a surprise, though? Not a bad idea, really. If the above didn't get you to buy a ticket,…

Even his range weapon, boomerang shuriken,…

So we watched Gamera vs Guiron for the Watch Party, which was clearly a slam dunk. It was the Japanese language version, which isn't any issue for me, but also in widescreen and with a beautiful print. Anyway, even if you prefer the English tracks for kajiu movies, what you want is the ones…

Looking for a quick, super cheapie '50s monster flick on Amazon Prime? Well, there's Man Beast. And hey, it's only 67 minutes. On the other hand, it's 67 Jerry Warren minutes. Amazon Watch Party tonight! Hope you can make it.
