Superargo and the Faceless Giants(1968)
https://youtu.be/iG5PQASdDs4?si=4fy66-NXfQ7xtsEs
A group of heavyset mimes with helmets like the ones in Santa Claus Conquers The Martians are kidnapping wrestlers & other athletes, so the police call in a red suited luchador who's been taking psychic lessons from his Hindu sidekick....
He sets up a ruse to use a wrestler's sister as bait to capture one of them, but when that backfires, he announces that he's going back into the ring as a ruse to use himself as bait...
He later finds out that a Polish scientist who's now in an insane asylum is tied to it all....
Doesn't idle too much, with plenty of riffable moments, albeit, it looks to be a 4x3 print cut from 16x9, so there are plenty of times the person talking is just off screen, or even a big empty space where two characters are supposed to be having a dialogue..... But the action never happens off screen.....

Last post by FatFreddysCat - January 17, 2026, 09:22:19 PM"And Now For Somethimg Completely Different" (1971)
In the Monty Python troupe's movie debut, they re-create some of the "greatest hits" from the first two seasons of their BBC series for the big screen, like the Dead Parrot Sketch, the Lumberjack Song, and the Upper Class Twit of the Year.
Fun fact: the movie was financed by Playboy. Victor Lownes, an American in charge of Playboy's London casino and nightclub, fell in love with the Pythons' TV series while living in England and brought them to the attention of Hugh Hefner, who wanted to get into film production. The rest is history. The movie was America's introduction to Monty Python, as "Flying Circus" didn't start airing in the USA till 1974. So hey, thanks, Hef!
"The Mouse Trap" (2024)
A group of twenty somethings having an after hours party at an arcade/amusement center are trapped inside with a psycho killer who's picking them off while wearing a Mickey Mouse mask, for some reason.
This cheap sh*t Canadian slasher flick is poorly written and full of plot holes, and most of the kills take place off screen. The Mickey mask is a gimmick that's only in the movie because Mickey's debut "Steamboat Willie" is now in the Public Domain. The result is an utterly pointless exercise. AVOID.

Last post by M.10rda - January 17, 2026, 06:36:51 PMI admit: Few Bad Movies make me happier than GUY FROM HARLEM. 
Purchased on VHS in the mid-90s, watched many times raw before I watched the (great) Rifftrax version. From the director of SUPERSOUL BROTHER aka THE SIX THOUSAND DOLLAR [epithet] and co-starring that film's priceless star Wildman Steve Gallon.
An attempted assault is met with light resistance, and the attacker demurs: "That ain't cool... I'll see you later!"

Bad Movies / Re: After Last Season (2009)
Last post by M.10rda - January 17, 2026, 06:21:54 PMWHY BAD MOVIES?
In high school, I reviewed "bad" movies on VHS for Joe Bob Briggs' "We Are The Weird" zine... so Joe Bob didn't have to. Once he sent me a movie titled CAGED TERROR... originally titled GOLDEN APPLES OF THE SUN (1973). At the time and for a long time after, I thought it was the worst movie I'd ever seen, on account of it being most of the things we all associate with Badness on this site: it was laborious, boring, pretentious, ridiculous, poorly acted, poorly produced, and cheap. (Also sometimes amusing in its Badness.) I would later buy a used copy on VHS and subject friends to it, and on repeat viewings, I still think CAGED TERROR is about as "bad" as Bad Movies probably get... worse than MANOS... worse maybe than GHOSTS THAT STILL WALK... much worse than MONSTER-A-GO-GO or PLAN 9. CAGED TERROR might be worse even than AFTER LAST SEASON... it is, anyway, more poorly written than AFTER LAST SEASON! (Yes. Yes.)
But I rarely think of the "worst" Bad Movie I've ever seen anymore, even amidst all the time I spend on this website. I truly enjoy most of the movies we discuss on this site, even the most Bad ones, hence I rarely participate in "Worst" conversations. 'Cause those movies don't make me happy - they make me angry and/or sick at heart.
Those movies fall into two categories. One is movies I don't ever bring up by name and won't here. I'd call them "Children of SALO". There's a few I've seen in the past 30 years that I wish I could unsee and thus don't mention 'cause I don't want to inflict them on others. Clearly they were made to revel in human suffering... though just onscreen, at least. Those are Bad, and in no way fun for me - so I reject them from the Mind Palace.
The other category are films that may be better made than AFTER LAST SEASON, yet actually do harm to humanity. DW Griffith is still often cited as an early master filmmaker, but BIRTH OF A NATION is an infinitely worse film than AFTER LAST SEASON, as BIRTH OF A NATION actually did real harm to marginalized people and lent comfort to abusers in traditional positions of power. I recently called THE SOUND OF FREEDOM one of the worst films of this century, because it contributed to pervasive disinformation and public confusion. (I'd also argue it's not well made, though it's better than ALS.) In the same sentence, I grouped HILLBILLY ELEGY with TSOF... inescapably, Ron Howard's stoopid (also not terribly well-made) movie contributed real and lasting harm on the United States and its citizens. Those movies can't be banished from my mind palace, 'cause their impact is manifest in the physical world - not just on my psyche.
Sometimes I think about those films when I watch films like AFTER LAST SEASON, and it helps me keep things in perspective. Watching ALS also made me think of another tiny low-budget movie made and released (only) in Western New York in 2000. I won't name that movie, either - it's director later made a in-name-only horror sequel that was distributed on Netflix (on DVD, not streaming) and lots of people ended up seeing it and I think it's even been discussed on here. That director probably has a lot in common with Mark Region in terms of ambition. Anyway, he wrote, directed, and starred in a feature in 2000 that - as I recall my one viewing - is indeed probably worse than ALS and worse than CAGED TERROR in terms of filmmaking but also Bad on the deeper level of the categories I mentioned above, in that it derives entertainment and humor from mental illness, abuse, and disease. The guy that made it started a local film festival, took advantage of people, exploited and mistreated them, etc. He seems like not a good guy, and I hated his movie - hated it.
As Bad as AFTER LAST SEASON is to watch - it did provide me with hours of enjoyment researching it, reflecting on it, talking about it with y'all, and writing about it. Thus - ALS is net-positive in my book.
Also, CAGED TERROR is inescapably aware of the prevalence of toxic masculinity, knee-jerk religiosity, and the damage wrought by American involvement in Vietnam, particularly for a movie made in 1973. Also 50% of its cast is non-white, FWIW. (It does suck as a film, natch.)
So anyway. Viva la BADFILM!
