Last post by Rev. Powell - Today at 11:16:32 AMRIFFTRAX: MANIAC: A vaudevillian impressionist apprentices under a mad scientist while hiding out from the cops, and ends up murdering the doctor and impersonating him, which leads to him accidentally shooting up a patient with superadreline, eating cat eyeballs, and forcing women to duel with syringes as he descends (further) into madness. The feature is short so they slapped a Comic Con panel on the DVD, in which the guys riff a short and take suggestions from the audience for future movies to mock. MANIAC is a classic bad movie that's plenty entertaining on its own, but I confess I laughed out loud multiple times, including at Mike's deadpan observation, "This movie helped a lot of people." 3.5/5, maybe even 4/5.

Last post by Rev. Powell - Today at 11:10:50 AMThanks. Moving to any other country has pitfalls, but Spain is officially welcoming, at least. Not sure I'll pull the trigger or not. The midterm elections may play a role, but of course I have ties here and don't really want to leave my elderly widower father. The UK is a popular destination for American expats because they don't have to learn a new language. I do know one American from Facebook who's moved there, but she's attending a university there, so I'm not sure that counts.

It was a one season show in the 90s starring Hulk Hogan, who traveled around the world and fought crime with his partner and their special high tech boat. The thing was pure cheese.It was the kind of show that made Baywatch look deep and subtle.

Last post by Alex - Today at 05:47:39 AMTigers in the Mud by Otto Carius: The Experiences of a German Tank Commander during the Second World War. Most of the book takes place on the Eastern Front, although after recovering from a serious injury, he does end up spending the last few weeks of the European war fighting against US forces. I've read a few books written by tankers from the war, and it is interesting to see their different opinions on the different enemies they faced. This one is one of Germany's top tank aces with over 150 kills credited to his name (although, as he refused to count any kills that were achieved when he was the tank commander rather than the gunner and quite often gave credit away for shared kills his actual total would have been much higher). I found his meeting with Himmler particularly interesting. He doesn't seem to be a nazi, but consider himself a German patriot and an anti-communist (at one point he muses that people in Eastern Europe would have been much happier and better off had the Soviets not won the war. I am not sure I agree with that as they'd have been mostly dead).

Last post by FatFreddysCat - Today at 05:43:55 AM"Fatal Beauty" (1987)
A wise cracking LAPD detective (Whoopi Goldberg) is on the trail of the dealer (Brad Dourif) who's pushing a particularly potent, deadly new drug nicknamed "Fatal Beauty."
A below average action comedy in the "Beverly Hills Cop" vein, Whoopi tries her best but she's not suited to this type of role. Watchable, but not necessary.

Last post by Alex - Today at 05:35:26 AMTales of the Golden Monkey. Set as pre-WW2 adventure show. While successful, it was doomed by its high production costs to a single season. It followed the adventures of an American pilot (he might have been called Jake, or that might be the name of his one-eyed dog) living on a Pacific island and getting up to all sorts of Indina Jones style adventures.
