Tonight's Stinker: Monster Force Zero(2019)

Tonight's Stinker Monster Force Zero(2019) https://youtu.be/fbgzBKuAK8U?si=YpFmcfvvrv-rDrPh Shot on video... At a comicon, a group of cosplayers are trying unsuccessfully hock a new comic book... At first, they run into a group of bully cosplayers who look like they're in their thirties, who challenge them to a fight at an after-party..... It turns out, the fight is organized by aliens, who give both teams super powers & test each team to see who's best..... And, that's pretty much the first half, followed by a real mission, with a cameo by Garrett Wang of Star Trek: Voyager fame.... The first half is slow, & even as the pace picks up, the acting remains stiff, and most of the jokes fall flat....

Tonight's Stinker: Stomp! Shout! Scream!(2005)

Tonight's Stinker Stomp! Shout! Scream!(2005) https://youtu.be/silNzOPHEBo?si=Va5kE2wBuAeQbRDc A sendup of '60s beach monster films, the sheriff of a small beach town is trying to solve a series of murders near a stinky pile of brush... One of his deputies calls in a biologist to find out where the brush came from... At the same time, an all girl rock group's car breaks down, & a local mechanic takes a shine to the lead singer, who's recovering from more than just a broken heart.... The monster turns out to be a Florida skunk ape, who walks like he's really gotta go to the bathroom.... At times, the movie starts to take it's self seriously, whereas most of the attempts at humor are a little too goofy for their own good.... Mostly watchable, it has it's moments, and a soundtrack college radio fans might enjoy....

Tonight's Stinker: Doctor of Doom(1963) AKA Rock N Roll Wrestling Women vs The Aztec Ape

Tonight's Stinker Doctor of Doom(1963) AKA Rock N Roll Wrestling Women vs The Aztec Ape https://youtu.be/a_2VWw4ZJr8?si=iudzUrlclqvW5NBi Starts out with a bad VHS rip, but smooths out after two or three minutes.... So, it starts out with these two sisters, one a scientist, and the other a wrestler.... Cut to an evil mad scientist who keeps trying & failing at transplanting the brains of women..... His one success is a man with the brain of an ape that he keeps in the basement.... He thinks a smarter brain will work, so he kidnaps the scientist sister, but that fails, so his assistant suggests the brain of a female athlete.... Meanwhile, the wrestling sister takes a new girl under her wing, aaand female empowerment ensues..... So, there's that issue with the tracking at the beginning, but no problems after that.... From Rhino home video, they changed the name because they added in a few new surf rockabilly songs the the action sequences, which turns out to be a small improvement to a film of this genre...

Tonight's Stinker: Eyes Of The Serpent (1994)

Tonight's Stinker Eyes Of The Serpent (1994) https://youtu.be/EVJIb8AU7TM?si=i7ixqjDwg5iF6RuG Schlock from Troma, slightly cleaned up for YouTube.... Opens with a narration about a pair of swords & pair of feuding queen sisters.... So, the evil queen's forces raid a camp & find the good queen's daughter & the other sword... While the bad queen has a scholar translate some scrolls, her own daughter tries to torture the first one, but things go sideways & she escapes.... The next day, the good princess is rescued from the bad queen's soldiers by a guy with an eyepatch & a heavily gelled up mullet.... That's when the good queen shows up, who looks the same age as the princess.... Looks like it was shot on VHS, converted to film, & back to VHS again.... Some sleaze tossed in to increase the runtime, with set that look like they were borrowed from a haunted house ride.....

Tonight's Stinker: PsyBorgs (2016)

Tonight's Stinker PsyBorgs (2016) https://youtu.be/ZrXjqneR_qk?si=HjCHjIyiftMUjkSP It looks like a local improv troupe got with a college film maker, & the result is this beautiful mess... So, the Psyborgs are pretty much a bunch of slackers with super powers, who are out to stop General Blight from releasing a new drug that will destroy their powers while turning normal people into country music zombies... After Blight's plans are thwarted, he decides to kidnap the Canadian president in order to steal some nukes.... Non-stop goofiness for the first forty five minutes or so, then starts to slow down & lose it's giggles....
