164: Rough Cut - 0503 - Swamp Diamonds - What To Do On A Date

Dec 12, 2005

Today's experiment includes the stilted educational short, What to Do on a Date, which inspires Tom Servo to ask out Gypsy. The feature film is the Roger Corman adventure flick, Swamp Women, starring Mike Connors back when he called himself Touch.

Meanwhile, the Mads invent a new feature for TV sets. Joel invents the Andrew Lloyd Weber grill. Crow and Tom Servo make fun of "Star Trek." Written by J. Spurlin

166: Rough Cut - 1012 - Squirm

Jul 11, 2006

Start with the The Deadly Bees, but set it in the deep, deep, deep south, replace the female pop singer with a male lead who's also blonde and only slightly less feminine, replace bees with worms, and that's about it. There are lots of worms in this movie, and possibly the best stinger line in series history ("You gonna be da worm face!") Unlike The Deadly Bees this movie has lots and lots of location shots. However they don't make the movie any better--only that much more sad and distressing. Like Roger Corman's films, the plot is revealed during extremely long stretches of exposition between disconnected bursts of action, making the film more of a slideshow than anything else. The hero isn't, the special effects aren't, and the plot revolves around the idea that a bunch of inbred hillbillies are too stupid to leave a dangerous situation (so at least the plot is somewhat plausible).
