GNAW Food Of The Gods II / Canadian Entertainment Investors Number One and Company Limited Partnership - 1989

Today we gots this kinda follow up to Bert Gordon's FOOD OF THE GODS from 1976, it's a Canadian production with a $3,500,000 budget. This time, a growth hormone experiment goes awry when giant man-eating rats escape from the lab, wreaking havoc on an unsuspecting school campus.

I've got a little sound clip for your approval, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button over by our big old mouse hole, NOW, Rufus The Gnat!.. Here's a sample of... GNAW!

Two shots of evil sadist Professor Delhurst first being confronted by PETA members and then working away torturing animals in his lab with the help of his willing assistant. Even the idea of abusing animals makes our blood boil here at The Dungeon, maybe that's why we're not real keen on eff'ed up eighties flicks.

Well, it isn't long before the oversized rats escape from the lab and go on a killing spree.

It's believed that the rats escaped into the sewer system and their worries prove correct!

I put in a purchase order for one of these very cool little motorized rides for The Dungeon but Eegah!! said.. 'NO!'

Dumb ass Professor Delhurst is excited to get his hands on this new growth hormone but he gets some in a cut on his thumb! One of my favorite Benny Hill jokes goes like this... Q - What's the difference between a vitamin and a hormone?.. A - You can't make a vitamin!

Then, he glances into a mirror only to see his inner evilness starting to show through!

Things much worse than his hair piece just falling off start occurring to the jerk face.

Nice colorful close up of the professor melting away!

The good guys enter the lab and have to walk around the big gooey mess on the floor.

The cops show up with their rifles to slaughter the blood thirsty beasts on the campus.

You'll have to watch the movie to figure out this WTF?!! ending... We're back tomorrow when Eegah!! has another little treat for y'all.

CAR OF TOMORROW - Tex Avery (1951)

Welcome to the future.....1951 style!

There's a big automobile show going on to showcase all the new styles of cars, and it's all brought to you by Mr. Tex Avery!

If you don't know if this car is coming or going, it's because it is actually heading towards you!

Here's a bright idea how to seat a lot more passengers!

These seats might just be a little too plush!

THIS is just down right weird!

This is the posterior of the same vehicle!

Need a little shade?

This seal beam headlight gag was so lame they nixed it themselves!

This car is so modern, it doesn't even use gas!

Here's one of the first cars with the engine in the rear!

This design wins my award for the strangest of them all!

A car with a hole cut in the roof just in case you own a giraffe!

Let's just hope that's her index finger!

Here's how they deal with pesky pedestrians in the future!

This car has a lot of horse power!

This one was called the hill climber!

Cars were pretty reasonably priced back in 1951!

Well, as least as long as you didn't have too many add-on accessories!
I'll be back on Saturday with more cartoon tales of the future! Until then, drive safe!!

THE DISEMBODIED / Allied Artists Pictures - 1957

We did this flick way back in 2008 but I recently got this nice print off TCM last year so it's time for a Dungeon Redo of this jungle voodoo tale starring one of our favorite gals, Allison Hayes, who we can also see in these vintage classics... ZOMBIES OF MORA TAU, THE UNDEAD, THE UNEARTHLY, ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN, MEN INTO SPACE, THE HYPNOTIC EYE and THE CRAWLING HAND.

I have a sound clip from this wild flick for your approval, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button located there by our voodoo paraphernalia, NOW, Ralphie The Tarantula!.. Here's... THE DISEMBODIED!

The tag line sez.. FEMALE WITCH DOCTOR...FIENDISH TIGRESS OF THE JUNGLE! Allison plays Tonda, crazy wife of Dr. Carl Metz. Here, she toys with him using her voodoo ware. All you guys out there.. Do you know what your wife is up to while you're at work?!

Beautiful Tonda feels at home in the jungle Hell, wonder what her secret is?..

Some of the natives are chosen to partake in deadly voodoo rituals to satisfy the bloodlust of the crazed female witch doctor.. Good luck, sucker!!

Piloting a Jeep through the jungle is like driving a Ferrari on the 405 at rush hour!

Our heroes, part a photography team, are befriended by a local native girl who knows all the dirty little secrets of Tonda and her ways.

But, Tonda seduces and hypnotizes the intruders into carrying out her evil plans.

The doc thinks funny things are going on behind his back so loads his rifle and confronts Tonda and her new pals about it.

Tonda continues with her voodoo rituals and looks great in her witch doctor attire. You can hear some of the ceremony in the sound clip.

Here's A.E. Ukonu as the lead voodoo drummer, Mr. Ukonu can also be seen in these 1950s flicks.. WHITE WITCH DOCTOR, UNTAMED, PANAMA SAL and TEACHER'S PET.

Anywho, Tonda bites the dust at the end, you can see her laying in the dirt there. Eegah!! is up again on Wednesday with more laffs just for you!

ROSIE THE RIVETER - Cappy Barra Boys and The Smoothies Trio (1943)

Happy Independence Day 2015!
We can do this!

If you don't know the story of "Rosie The Riveter" then your history school teacher did a pretty shitty job! When all the men went off in World War II, the only workforce America had to turn to was it's women, and they proved way back then that they were perfectly capable of doing anything a man could do, and maybe even better! "Rosie The Riveter" was the classic example!

This is just a three minute short that is probably viewable on YouTube, I didn't even bother checking! The copy I have was downloaded from the Internet Archive! This is a great little swingin' tune, and  an early precursor to MTV music videos that features The Smoothies, who were known individually as Babs, Charlie, and Little, doing the vocals with backup by the fantastic Cappy Barra Harmonica Boys! They just don't make music like this anymore!
Hit It Boys!!!

I love these two shots, the guys look like they're eating weird cobs of corn! Munch, munch, crunch, crunch!

Here's The Smoothies!

For some reason the character of Rosie remains unidentified unless one of you knowledgeable readers know who she was!

When I started this blog back in 2007, I thought it would be cool to listen to music from films never released as an audio recordings, so that's why we like to present you with an mp3, so you can listen to the music on a music player of some sort without having to watch a video! The Buggles said "Video Killed The Radio Star," but to my knowledge, nobody ever made the followup that would have been titled "Video Killed The Video Star!" Sometimes you just don't need, or have time for a video!

Ring around the Rosie! She probably should have been President a long time ago!

"Rosie The Riveter" was an American icon based on real workers like Rosie Bonavita and Rosalind P. Walter! A full blown movie was released in 1944 starring Jane Frazee!

So, there you go, Happy Fourth Of July to all! 

For the next couple of weeks I'm going on a literal vacation, and will be gone a lot, so instead of just hanging up the 'Gone Fishin' sign, I'm going to stick to my cartoon format; something I might have time for, so tune in, or tune out, it's your choice! Thanks to Rosie and all the gals like her, it's actually still a free country!
