THE SAVAGE GIRL / Commonwealth Pictures - 1932

It's Friday once again, and, time to check out this story about African explorer Jim Franklin, he's hired by perpetual drunkard and eccentric millionaire Amos P. Stitch on a whim, to capture animals to stock a private zoo on his estate. On the way to Africa they pick up a London cabbie and his cab to drive Stitch on the safari, and in Africa they hire Alex Bernouth, a German jungle guide, and Oscar, a Harlemite who wants to get back to New York. Their expedition is observed by a white jungle girl who warns the animals against being captured and releases any animal they capture.

The movie stars Rochelle (voice of Bosko's girlfriend 'Honey' in a ton of cartoons) Hudson as the Savage Girl, Walter (THE MUMMY'S TOMB) Byron as Jim Franklin, Harry (334 acting credits!!) Myers as Amos P. Stitch, Adolph (REVOLT OF THE ZOMBIES) Milar as Erich Vernuth and Floyd (THE VAMPIRES'S GHOST) Shackelford as Oscar.

Amos B. Stitch is drunk on his ass and comes up with the idea of an African safari for him and his pal, Jim Franklin. He has the telephone operator do all the work of booking the voyage, since he's so out of it!

Great shot of the action as they're getting ready to start the voyage! Amos also hires a British cabbie to drive him around in Africa!

Once in Africa, Amos hires Oscar, from Harlem, to be his personal servant. Oscar is amazed at how Amos can get anything done since he's always drinking!

Then, Savage Girl becomes aware of an expedition which has located in her jungle domain, where she helps protect her animal friends that roam the area.

She notices that the intruders have built a cage to capture large animals. She ends up releasing a lion after is was caught in the cage. Love the shot of her blending in with the tree branches!

Jim and Erich decide to build a trap for the Savage Girl, and, it works perfectly!

They bring her back to their shack, then get in a fight because Erich wants the girl for himself!! Jim fires Erich as a result of his obsession.

Thing is, Savage Girl has a crush on Jim for defending her against Erich...

But, Erich goes out and hires some natives to capture Jim with the idea of killing him, paving the way for Erich to make Savage Girl his own!! But, there's a problem, Oscar runs to Amos and tells him what's about to happen. Amos and Oscar arrive in the taxi with guns blazing, the natives run like scared children, and, Jim is saved!

In the meantime, Erich is making his intentions clear to Savage Girl. Jim goes to the hut and confronts Erich yet again, this time though, it's a battle to the death!!

At one point, a gorilla (for Eegah!!) arrives to help out, Erich grabs his revolver and is ready to shoot Jim, when, the ape grabs Erich and deep sixes him and brings our jungle tale to an end!

Tune in tomorrow when we'll have more cool junk, just for y'all...

DÔBUTSU SENTAI JÛÔJÂ - "The Most Dangerous Game" (2016)

It's time once again for WTF!? Wednesday, and I've got a good one for you tonight!

I don't venture off into this decade too often, but when it's dropped in your lap and it's this weird, what's a guy supposed to do? That's right, make lemonade!

This Japanese TV series called "Dôbutsu Sentai Jûôjâ" came out in 2016, and this was Season one, Episode number 10 titled "Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger" or "The Most Dangerous Game," and it should not be confused with the classic 1932 movie with the same name, or any of the many TV shows that have used the title over the years!

It's Super Hero Time! That's pretty much all you need to know!

This group of kids is pretty special! They can be normal people, or Power Ranger types, but they also each have special animal skills, you know, kind of like Spiderman, but different! One has shark powers, one has tiger powers, one has eagle powers, one has lion powers, and one has elephant powers!

This looks like a cool abstract painting!

This is Ginis, the leader of the Deathgalien! He's a real dick!
In fact, in grade school, the other kids called him Ginis the Penis! That's part of the reason he's so mad!

Ginis puts a deathray dome over the city! It's shrinking fast, and if it touches you, you're toast!

The kids look for the off switch for two months, and finally find it on a tower!

Yay! They find and destroy the switch, and the death barrier is removed!

And for doing that, Ginis rewards them with this robot thing called The Gift!

The Gift is so powerful it destroyed 10 planets the day it was created!

The Gift had been out of circulation because he was SO destructive that even Ginis didn't think it was fair, so he took him offline!

Their individual strengths were just not enough, so they cube into one giant ass-kicking robot!

Let's Rock!

Giant Vise-Grips vs The Gift's drill and circular saw, who will be the victor?

What!? ? ? ?

For some reason this was a two-part episode! Why it couldn't just be continued to the next episode is just as mysterious as to why it even exists!

LIGHTS OUT: And Adam Begot / NBC - 1951

Here's a wild 'n' weird tale starring Kent (CAT PEOPLE) Smith as Claude, Philip (JOAN OF ARC) Bourneuf as Geoffrey, Joan (TV only) Wetmore as Kay and Kurt (ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET THE MUMMY) Katch as The (Cave) Man...

The story's all about a car carrying cultured Geoffrey, brutish Claude and eligible Kay that swerves off a cliff and ends up in a mysterious valley. Surprised by the weird vegetation and climate, they come to the conclusion they've traveled back in time 50,000 years!! Then, an encounter with an unfriendly caveman results in all three being held captive in a cave.

Narrator Frank Gallop starts off the show with his big intrusive face giving you something weird to think about before the story starts...

Check out this sweet 1948 (I think) Studebaker our gang's cruising in! They have stopped because the car is having some engine problems.

In the meantime, Claude has found a skull and thinks it's from a prehistoric man!

Once the car is moving again, their trip takes a turn for the worse, literally! They swerve off the mountain road and into a very mysterious valley. I'm starting to think that this is a very strange set for a TV show!

And, guess who's watching the injured intruders?.. Hey, nice haar mow!

Claude and Geoffrey try and make sense of their situation, then...

The prehistoric dude shows himself! Geoffrey, the sophisticated one, decides to try and communicate with him, but he beats the crap out of the dummy!!

Claude gets a little too close and is also attacked by their nemesis!

Welp, Claude, Geoffrey and Kay all end up inside the caveman's lair and he's starting a fire!! Gulp!..

Geoffrey grabs his revolver and empties it into the hungry caveman, bringing the terror to a fin. They go over and make sure he's dead.

Then, a big old curve ball is served up for the ending. Claude concludes that the skull he found had a bullet hole in it, and, they were actually 50,000 years in the future!!!!!!!!!

Frank gets the last word!.. So, we suggest that you pop in again on Wednesday when who the Hell knows what we will have for you, but, you'll love it...
