By wa of incredible coincidence, this was also the title track of an album cut by Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, released in 1970.

1. Didja Get Any Onya? 
2. Directly From My Heart To You   
3. Prelude To The Afternoon Of A Sexually Aroused Gas Mask   
4. Toads Of The Short Forest   
5. Get A Little 
6. The Eric Dolphy Memorial Barbecue 
7. Dwarf Nebula Processional March & Dwart Nebula 
8. My Guitar Wants To Kill Your Mama 
9. Oh No 
10. The Orange County Lumber Truck 
11. Weasels Ripped My Flesh 

Whooda thunk it?
Ah, good. Not the only one caught the Zappa connection.
Yeesh. This does indeed look painfull.
This is a movie that should be riffed into oblivion. If the hatered it engenders dosen't zap you first.

I must admit to also buying this movie based only on its title. Early warning signs that this film was going to be tough to watch was the opening five minute panning shot of some trees in a park, with some pointless narration over the top of it. If you listen to the commentary track, the director even admits that this scene is padding to bring the film up to feature length.
There is some very mild amusement to be had from this film's badness, but mainly this film just feels like watching another person's home videos.
The director, Nathan Schiff, has put together several other films that also look to have no budgets, although as WRMF was his first film, maybe they get better. Why they were considered worthy of being remastered and given DVD releases, I'll never know, although strangely, the film that he claims was his best, Vermilion Eyes, was dropped by the DVD distributors for being too violent.

God help me, I'm tempted to buy this despite all warnings.  I found that a store that  has new copies of this for $5.98.  Please tell me to resist!

I don't think there's enough alcohol in all of Scotland to make this film watchable.  Thank you, Andrew, for so bravely throwing yourself upon this bomb of a film that the rest of us might escape its horrors.

It's nice to know where the MST3K joke come from.
After seeing that clip, I have to buy this.
