There’s a Fungus Among Us

Batten down the hatches and stow the sails, because Matango: Attack of the Mushroom People is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the Japanese movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring M.O.M. and many mushrooms.

Review in a Nutshell: Although M.O.M. disagrees, I feel that Matango is a cinematic rarity in that it is both bleak, nihilistic, and psychedelic. The special effects by Eiji Tsuburaya and company as well as the set dressing are especially good. Who is the real monstrous mushroom? Who, indeed?

Absolutely No References to Avenged Sevenfold.

We can’t stop here, because Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is the Greatest Movie EVER!

featuring Sean “Hollywood” Hunting and Dan “Diggity” Derasmo.

Review in a Nutshell: A faithful, visually imaginative adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson’s scathing condemnation of the hypocrisies of the American dream and the failure of Sixties counter-culture, Fear and Loathing thumbs its nose at the traditional three act structure. Also look for amazing performances by both Johnny Depp and Benicio del Toro.

Stomp Romp / Zilla Thrilla: Kenny’s Misspent Youth

Godzilla’s not dead but merely resting, and we’re continuing the Godzilla theme coverage with a review of the much-reviled Godzilla’s Revenge, aka All Monsters Attack. Please note: this film contains neither Godzilla nor revenge, but it does have some harrowing things to say about the plight of latch-key children in post-industrial Tokyo.

Break out the glitter body-paint, because The Apple is the Greatest Movie EVER?

Click on the movie title or the picture above to download our review of the film, featuring special guest host, Celebrity Translator Neil Nadelman.

Review in a Nutshell: Either a ham-fisted musical allegory or a piece of Illuminated propaganda, The Apple is a strange, disjointed film held together by the gooey goodness of Golan / Globus and Vladek Sheybal’s charming turn as Mr. Boogalow.

This movie contains:

Shaggy Hippies.

God?

SATAN.

An actual, actual, actual vampire?
