Good news, everyone!
Maybe someday I’ll catch up with it, since it’s getting a conclusion. Then again, my catch-up list is pretty darn long already…

There’s some amazing movies in this season. Cry Wilderness is lots of fun, both Wizards of the Lost Kingdom movies – the second one is the worst sword & sorcery movie I’ve ever seen, easily – and oh yikes, Carnival Magic is terrible.

I had a few MST3K-loving friends who weren’t too impressed by the first episode of the season. I encouraged them to check out Cry Wilderness. Pretty much all of them agree that it’s up there with classic MST episodes. Worst bigfoot ever!! And raccoon strangling!

omfg…
just finished the second “Wizards of the Lost Kingdom”…
I WAS NOT PREPARED.
i thought the first one was bad, and i also thought that the bigfoot movie was the worst movie i had ever seen… i had NO IDEA. i think i will be scarred for life. how in the world did such a thing happen?? and david carradine? how did he fall so far? did he need beer money, or something? and also, is the old wizard in the second movie supposed to be the kid from the first movie? i swear patton oswalt said that during one of the breaks. anyway, there’s not enough booze in the world to make me forget this horror…

So here’s the crazy thing: the reason David Carradine and that random warrior woman are in it is so they could make the cheapest movie ever by re-using footage from old Roger Corman movies starring them. So whenever Carradine goes into battle, he’s suddenly got a beard & different clothes, because they’re just using parts of The Wizard & The Sorceress. Big chunks of the movie are just re-used footage from Sorceress, Barbarian Queen, and other Roger Corman B-movies. There’s zero connection with the first movie – the wizard isn’t the kid from part 1. It’s just awful, but that makes it perfect for MST3K.

i have not, but Samurai Cop would have to really try hard to be worse than this one. honest.
Imagine a movie where the script was written by AI.
And the direction was AI.
And the acting.
Everything you need to see is here. Not safe for work.

oof, wow – that’s bad, but it’s a freaking academy award winner compared to Wizards of the Lost Kingdom II. i’m not joking.

Anybody else actually watch this?
IN MY OPINION: It was bad. Painfully bad.
The general concept was fine, but the actual script? Not believable. Not clever. Plodding and awkward. The acting isn’t great either.

Decades has been running a Laugh In marathon, and I’ve been catching bits and pieces of it all day. It’s fascinating, as it’s very much a reflection of its time (which I don’t recall since I was only born in '72.) Plus the actors and actresses are talented, and funny, and it looks like they were having a blast filming it.

I’m watching GLOW, the netflix series about the cheeseball 80’s women’s wrestling tv show, and I’m pretty surprised at how good it is.
Oh, Laugh In was all kinds of awesome; I used to catch it in syndication as a teenager.
