Viewing Notes

This was one of the films programmed by Mike White at last week’s Projection Booth watch party on KAST. I thought I owned a grey market DVD of this so I hopped out of the watch party after the first two films, happy that that this was the third movie in the triple feature line-up. However, I can’t find my DVD and started to wonder if I really did buy it at a convention (I’d see it all the time mixed in with other titles that hadn’t gotten a proper home video release). Perhaps I just thought I bought it b/c it was so familiar to me.

So I looked it up online and found it was streaming on YouTube. This is basically a clip show of old B-movies with intros by John Candy, Gilda Radner, Dan Aykroyd, and Cheech & Chong. Those sketch bits are hit and miss but nice to have to set up each segment about monsters or whatever. They cover *A LOT* of films, many I have seen and several I have not. There are some humorous voice overs (esp. by Gilda) during some of the clips.

Guessing this hasn’t been made available since it originally was released is b/c of all those clips and wrangling the rights for those. Either that or the estate for John Candy or Gilda won’t permit it. Too bad b/c this is a time capsule and has a great collection of B-movies. I’d love to make a list of all the films featured in this!
