LOST IN SPACE Season 1 Episode 25 "The Space Croppers" - 1966

We start this episode with a teaser where Dr. Smith, Will and Penny meet up with a freakin' Werewolf.. Uhhh, like, Heeeelp, Mr. Wizard!

This story's about what happens when the Robinsons run into a group of Space Hillbillies that Dr. Smith believes might take him back to good old mother Earth... Yeah, right!

Besides our crew, other actors include Mercedes McCambridge as Sybilla, Sherry Jackson as Effra and Dawson Palmer as Keel/the Werewolf.

Dr. Smith takes Will with him to look for the Werewolf that scared them earlier, but, meet up with big country hayseed, Keel.

Keel takes our boys to his country style spaceship where his hot sister Effra joins them.

Oh, and don't forget their momma, Sybilla. She likes to grow all kinds of crazy plants!

Effra goes to say howdy to her new neighbors and borrow (steal) a few things. Then, she sees Don, and wants him for her new beau! Problem is, well, Judy just don't dig it, which almost leads to a cat fight! Check out Don's expression!

So, mom and daughter get all gussied up for Dr. Smith and Don. Mom needs a new husband for a reason we'll get to in a moment...

Will shows up at the ranch to check up on the Hillbillies' deadly plants, and...

That damn Werewolf pops into the scene! Will tries to get away but falls back into a flesh eating monster plant. He doesn't look real happy about the situation! Don't worry, Effra shows up and saves the day.

Okay, here's the deal... Dr. Smith wants to marry Sybilla to get a ride back to Earth, but, she wants to marry Dr. Smith so that Keel/the Werewolf will have a father!

Sybilla's plants are out of control, so, the gang use spray to kill them!

Just after they kill the plants, Dr. Smith comes a runnin'. They watch as the Hillbillies take off and head back to Earth, sans Dr. Smith.

We get a glimpse of next week's episode, don't miss it! Anyway, it's supposed to rain tomorrow, so, I wonder how all those negative ions will effect what Eegah!! has in store for us... Til then!

GLOW - Kate Nash (2018)

Okay, here we go again! Welcome back to Whacked-Out Wednesday in The Dungeon! I admit it, I've been screwing off a lot lately, and watching stupid stuff like "GLOW" on Netflix, and even though I didn't think the show was that good, (Actually I was hoping it would be truer to the real behind the scenes story) it was interesting to a degree! My daughter was seven when "The Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling" came on in 1986, and since I loved to watch wrasslin', we used to watch it together all the time on Saturday mornings. Somehow she turned out to be a fantastic Mother, so I guess they were decent role models!

 Out of all the characters, some likeable, and some not, I found the character of Rhonda Richardson as Britannica to be the most interesting of the group. Rhonda is played by a unique young woman who is not only talented, funny, beautiful, and intelligent, but she also plays the bass!

Her name is Kate Nash, and although not exactly a household name in America yet, I think she will be some day soon, just not because of this show. Kate was voted "Best British Female Solo Artist" in 2008, and has quite a few hit songs. Barely in her 30's, I believe Kate's star is just starting to shine or glow! I was just looking at her tour dates, and I have no idea how she had time for this show!
 Here's the link to her website!

 Britannica is the smart one of the girls, and her character was inspired by the original "GLOW" wrestlers Zelda the Brain, and Godiva. Here she is having a confrontation with the gorgeous Sydelle Noel as Cherry Bang or "Black Magic."

While watching the show, you'll notice that Rhonda has a strong British accent, but she's not acting, because that's Kate's real accent, and unlike guys named John and Paul, she doesn't try and change it when she's performing, and I say Cheers to her independent soul!

A champion of underdogs everywhere, Kate actively supports women's and LGBT rights!

Kate only has nine acting credits, but her music has been used in 21 movies and TV shows! So, if you want to see how talented this gal really is, here are a couple of videos that show how many different styles she is capable of! You're welcome!

"Ow-Ow!!"

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

THE MASK OF FU MANCHU / The Frankenstein Of The Orient! - 1932

Here's a good one for our last post of 2018, in this story, some Englishmen race to find the tomb of Genghis Khan, and, they have to get there fast as the evil genius, Dr. Fu Manchu, is also searching for the tomb, If Fu Manchu gets the mysteriously powerful relics, he and his diabolical daughter will enslave the entire world!

The movie stars Boris Karloff as Dr. Fu Manchu, Lewis Stone as Nayland Smith, Karen Morley as Sheila Barton, Charles Starrett as Terrence Granville, Myrna Loy as Fah Lo See, Jean Hersholt as Von Berg, Lawrence Grant as Sir Lionel Barton and David Torrence as McLeod.

Here are the Englishmen planning their expedition to search for the tomb of Genghis Khan. Word is though, Fu Manchu is also looking for the tomb, but, for nefarious reasons!

Fu Manchu drinks down a beaker of his special power brew! He's the only one that knows what the secret ingredients are...

The evil genius treats his first victim to an endless bell gong torture... Hey, how's it goin'?

In the meantime, Terrence and his pals have discovered Khan's tomb, they take a mask and a huge sword that are proposed to have magical powers.

Love the strange places in this one, super sets and the like. Here, dude who got a knife in the back is still able to take out one of Fu Manchu's henchmen with his pistol!

At this point, Terrence has been captured by Fu Manchu and has to turn over the sword and mask to the last person in the world he wanted the treasures to end up with.

But, for some reason, the sword is a goddamn fake! Fu Manchu is freakin' livid, and, we all know what the Hell that means!!..

Right!.. Time for some more sadistic torture!!

Anywho, after Terrence is beaten and whipped, he ends up in the daughter of Fu Mancho's special love chamber, where she joins him. She has a crush on Terrence, and, she smokes opium endlessly throughout the movie!

Since we like to show signs in our posts, I thought.. Hmm, why not show an Asian sign!

Fu Manchu (don't forget, he's a doctor) uses poisonous critters to extract venom from, he uses them to concoct a serum he uses to make people his slaves! And, he uses it on Terrence!!

I'm telling you, this movie is really creepy and horrific at times, like this scene!

Finally, our evil nemesis has the magic sword in his possession! Fah Lo See is stoned out and Terrence has no idea what the Hell's going on..

Nayland Smith's in a predicament, but somehow manages to get out of the pit of alligators!

And, Von Berg's not too happy about the situation he's in!!

Not to worry, Nayland and Von both escape and run up above where Fu Manchu is ready to show all his followers his new powers. Our guys turn on the maniac's destruction ray and point it at the crowd below.

Terrence snaps out of it just in time to save Sheila from her sacrifice by using the sword on Fu Manchu himself!!.. Great stills!

The ray sizzles all the fanatics, putting out the flame of Fu Manchu!..

In the end, there's only one thing to do with a sword with such a power... You solve the riddle! Hey, join us next year when we'll return with a whole new pile of weird junk, just for U - Oh yeah, an' Happy New year Ever'bloody!!

PUPPETMASTER - "Evil Comes In All Sizes" (1989)

 As if the puppets in "The Spirit Of Christmas," and "Diver Dan" weren't enough, my year end Saturday Night Special is the 1989 film "Puppetmaster," because let's face it, we're just all puppets in the game more than ever these days with all the strings being pulled by politicians on all sides, greedy corporations, and social media, so why not just come out and admit it?

 The "Puppetmaster" series of films is now legendary!

 And Charles Band is still pumping them out some almost 30 years later,

  The latest offering is "Puppet Master: Blitzkrieg Massacre," that was released just a couple of months ago! Some things just refuse to die!

 There are thousands of places that look like this along the California coastline, but I swear I've been here before!

 Beautiful place! Too bad it's not real!

 I used to live about 25 minutes from Bodega Bay, and I can guarantee you that there is not a building this majestic within 100 miles or more. In fact, this is actually the Castle Green Apartments in Pasadena, California which hasn't seen a coastline lately!

Yes indeed, the same Bodega Bay that was featured in Hitchcock's "The Birds"

 The same Bodega Bay that today hosts the radio station with the coolest call letters in the whole damn world, KWTF! Oh, Yeah!

 And besides having the coolest call letters in the world, KWTF also has a weekly show by Lord Litter that is always worth listening to! Trust me, if you like timeless music, give it a try!

 So I had to use this cool shot, because if I showed you pictures of the actors like the amazing Paul Le Mat, I'd have to go on and on how I couldn't get over the fact that I thought I was looking at Wayne Newton, and how did Wayne Newton, with all his money, get involved in a mess like this!

This is not Las Vegas Wayne!

Gone the way of the phone booth, this was a 1989 ATM machine.

 Because after that, we got this guy!

"Puppetmaster" is a comedy no doubt, and this pinhead dude is the comic relief!

The Drill Head doll makes me want to remind you once again that those call letters were:

K......WTF?!

I really don't want to know the significance of this female doll and her retching lethal leeches. 

Rated R for 'Raw!

This was the best shot of this little shit!

Pinhead's disproportionate body is so over the top, and then he gets continually thrown around like some rag doll little bitch, and even after he has his head removed, he still takes a lickin', keeps on tickin', and is a real pain in the ass! What a mini-stud!

So never count out the dolls, or the puppets, or the marionettes in your life, human or otherwise, because someday, they will all come back to haunt you! 

18 out, bring on 19! I had some fun, I hope you did too!
