Product Review: Retro-A-Go-Go!

The Atomic Age (1945-1965) saw a big surge in horror films as the public enjoyed having their fears played with on the big screen or on the little screens that were now appearing in their homes.

Movie Review: Aliens, Clowns & Geeks (2019)

Movie Review: Aliens, Clowns & Geeks (2019)

Frenzied filmmaker/musician Richard Elfman’s (The Forbidden Zone) Aliens, Clowns & Geeks concerns the adventures of Eddy Pine (played by Bodhi Elfman… wonder how he got the job), an out of work actor (ain’t they all folks, aint they all… ) that finds himself in possession of the key to the universe which gets shoved up his ass after a religious-level ménage-a-trois blows his brain (and the rest of him as well) across time and space. This makes him the prime target of a group of extra-terrestrial clowns led by Emperor Beezel-Chugg (played by the Austin Powers series’ Verne Troyer no less), and puts him in close contact with all manner of mayhem including some little green men from beyond the stars, a mad scientist (played by French Stewart, who never gets the credit he deserves as an actor… the dude always seems like he’s having the time of his life), and fuckin’ Norm from Cheers, who here plays a priest

Movie Review: The Brain From Planet Arous (1957)

Movie Review: The Brain From Planet Arous (1957)

After some patented ’50s era wise-assin’ and a trek through the desert, Steve March (John Agar) becomes possessed by an evil brain from outer space with bedroom eyes named Gor (voiced by Dale Tate and supplemented by non-stop War of the Worlds noises). At first Steve/Gor is just an animal abusing handsy creep, but before long he sets his sights higher and begins threatening the entire world with his evil machinations, all realized through the glory of that sweet, sweet stock footage. Thankfully a friendly-ass brain creature named Vol (also voiced by Tate) comes to earth and possesses Steve’s fiancé Sally’s (Joyce Meadows) dog, as one naturally would… and he’s determined to put an end to Gor’s bullshit, pronto! You read that deliriously daffy sinister synopsis up top, so you already know that The Brain From Planet Arous has a hell of a yarn to spin, and boy-fucking-howdy does it ever! Add in some groovy creature designs for our creepy
