Cinderella (1977)
From The Baby to The Pink Angels, Graduation Day, Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins, Love at First Bite, Michael Pataki is in so many great movies. He’s even the Klingon Korax who starts a fight in the Tribbles episode of Star Trek. He’s everywhere — The Sidehackers, The Return of Count Yorga, Airport ’77, Grave of the Vampire, Dracula’s Dog, Dead and Buried, The Glove, Sweet Sixteen, Rocky IV, Halloween […]
Goldilocks and the Three Bares (1963)
Before treating the world to the delights of Blood Feast, the team of Herschell Gordon Lewis and David F. Friedman would introduce us all to the world’s first nudist musical. Before Something Weird Video found this movie, it had been lost for 36 years. In the book Taste of Blood: The Films of Herschell Gordon Lewis, […]
Doomstar Requiem: A Klok Opera (2013)
Thanks again to Paul Andolina for sharing a second musical with us. If you like his stuff, check out his site Wrestling with Film. Metalocalypse was a cartoon about the fictional band Dethklok that aired on Adult Swim. It premiered in 2006 and saw its incomplete conclusion in 2013 with an hr long rock opera […]
White Pop Jesus (1980)
Six years after starring in Enter the Devil (also known as The Eerie Midnight Horror Show), Stella Carnacina would double down on the blasphemy of a movie where a statue gets down off the cross and makes love to her by starring in this disco story of the Second Coming of the Son of God. Here, she […]
Space Is the Place (1972)
For years, very little was known about Sun Ra’s early life, and he contributed to that with evasive, contradictory or even nonsensical answers to questions of his origin. Sure, he may have been born Herman Poole Blount in Alabama, named for the popular vaudeville stage magician Black Herman, who had deeply impressed his mother, but […]
Head (1968)
Despite breaking up in 1971, The Monkees remained in syndication throughout the decade, and that’s when I discovered them. Despite being a band created for a TV show—a burst of comedy, silliness and catchy songs—The Monkees instantly appealed to me. Initially formed in Los Angeles in 1965 by Bob Rafelson and Bert Schneider, the band […]
Sci-Fi High: The Movie Musical (2010)
Paul Andolina is back to share a musical with us. He’s always a welcome guest on our site. If you like his stuff, check out his site Wrestling with Film. Sci-Fi High: The Movie Musical is a science fiction themed musical set in 1957. It is directed by Dan Bellusci and Steve Dispensa who also wrote […]
Voyage of the Rock Aliens (1984)
I adore Pia Zadora. Nothing you say to me will ever change my mind. Pia could go on a murder binge and it’d only make me love her more. She could start a sweatshop, perpetuate the opioid crisis and make fun of Lucio Fulci movies and I’d still cut her a break. She’s everything wonderful […]
Gonks Go Beat (1964)
What is it with British musicals with aliens coming to Earth to learn about music this week? Well, here’s another — 1964’s Gonks Go Beat — based on the fad for toys called gonks, which were created by British inventor Robert Benson. At their peak, gonks were collected by Ringo Starr and Peter Sellers. They were […]
