Jabootu's Bad Movie Dimension

So Friday's Watch Party, which was typically delightful, featured The Slime People. It's a slog, written, directed and starring Robert Hutton, for the first hour, livened only when they hide out in a real butcher shop and we get to see what meat cost back in the day. Less than now, in case your…

After Samson vs the Vampire Women we watched Voyage of the Rock Aliens with Pia Zadora. It's one of those goofy, free from everything and the kitchen sink sort of affairs, and I don't remember anything about it. Think of a 90 minutes '80s music video and you're basically there.

So..Chad and Chad (the Rev) attended real B-Fest. The rest of us had decided to do another "Basement Fest" the following weekend.

Of course, the economical Corman later remade the film as Creature of the Haunted Sea, made briefly famous when it's monster appeared in the opening for…

Here Godzilla fought the Fire Bird. Sounds fun, I wouldn't mind seeing more of this in the future. I mean, a…

After Return to Oz the '80s streak continued with Skatetown USA, which the Chads rather liked, I believe. Then came the film Chad R sponsored (although he gave me credit, grafting my head on a cartoon admiral; take that, Cap'n Crunch). He went super old school and showed The Giant Claw, because, hey, it's…

Return of Dr X (in no way a sequel to Dr. X) led to Showdown in Little Tokyo. I remember not liking it much way back in the day--maybe because of the constant jokes about how big Dolph Lundgren's dick was--but the Chads gave it very high marks, so you might want to give…
