Ludicrous, ridiculous, and yet somehow, 29 years later, more pertinent than ever, tonight's Saturday Night Special is a 1990 flick called "Terminal City Ricochet."
Some things just don't change. Government has been a scary joke for quite a while now!
Just like this blog, "Free Cheap Bargains" are plentiful!
What's your favorite flavour of Pie in the Sky?
Apple, peach, lemon, grape?

The concept of a "Mass Murder Magazine" is really sick, but the headline of "Rock Star Kills Audience" is pretty funny!
What can I tell you about a movie like this?
Well, it was made in Canada, and "The Terminal City Richochets" were a real hockey team, and I think that about wraps it up!
Remember, "The Firesign Theatre" said it best!
"The Future is Now!"
From beginning to end, the movie is obsessed with space junk falling from the sky!
Peter Breck is mesmerizing as Mayor Ross Gilmore, a man of dreams, and other people's nightmares.
I could be wrong, but it looked like Peter was having fun with this role.
Peter was in everything from "The Crawling Hand," to 112 episodes of "The Big Valley."
Some of the sight gags are pretty funny!
"Terminal City Ricochet" also has a terrific soundtrack with real bands like D.O.A., The Beatnigs, Jello Biafra, Nomeansno, The Grooveaholics, etc. performing or just providing the music. This guy reminds me too much of "The Cat In The Hat."
Eric Reed Boucher aka Jello Biafra himself has the role of wormdog Bruce Coddle.
So just let it out! Let it all out!
What a campaign!
It goes on way too long, but it has to, so you can try and take in everything that's going on here!
What a charismatic guy! C'Mon, you know you'd vote for him too!
And that's just the way it is!
Here's D.O.A. with the song from the ending credits called "Behind The Smile."
Peter Breck is very entertaining in the "J.D." movie THE BEATNIKS (which most people know as an MST3K episode). He overacts all through it, but in a way that makes you GLAD that he does.
ReplyDeleteBreck as Mooney was a krazy sumbitch! Guess I should have also mentioned that. Here was my take on "The Batniks" from a few years back.

The soundtrack to this film is awesome , great music to drive by.
ReplyDeleteFirst heard it as the JJJ album of the week back in 89 or 90.
Took me till ~2007 to find a copy of the film & see what it was about....
