Tonight's Stinker: War of the Satellites (1958)

Tonight's Stinker War of the Satellites (1958) https://youtu.be/WK6HUh7FBUk?si=fb-s8l3RfGuvG_ZD After losing ten spaceships & their crews, aliens get around to sending earth a message saying humans aren't good enough for space.... For insurance, the aliens kill the lead scientist & replace him with a clone who can make clones of himself, who tries to put an end to the space program, but his subordinates go against him & continue with the project.... So the alien decides to stick with it so he can sabotage the project later.... There's a really goofy scene about 35 minutes in, where they send up three rockets that release these three lemon wedges that unite to form a spherical spaceship... Seriously, it looks like this scene was a high school film project!!!!

Tonight's Stinker: Port Sinister (1953)

Tonight's Stinker Port Sinister (1953) https://youtu.be/h6xdaa704IM?si=JRZRx7fako0R5z9k From a pretty bad print, it's too dark to see most of the time, & according to the IMDB, about ten minutes is missing.... Anyway... A scientist pitches this notion to some institute about an island that sank 200yrs earlier, but rises when there's heavy volcanic activity... And there's a treasure on it... Later on, the first mate of the ship he charters breaks into the scientist's hotel room, to steal a map.... The scientist walks in & gets clocked & wakes up in a hospital two states away.... He charters a plane to catch up, while the crew takes the boat, finds the island & the treasure, but it's guarded by a giant crab... Uh, so anyway.....

Tonight's Stinker: J-Men Forever (1979)

Tonight's Stinker J-Men Forever (1979) https://youtu.be/8FvK4z9zjl4?si=XUHvWKovRvyNAwji Uh, okay so, somebody took a bunch of old B&W serials re-edited them into this mess, redubbed all the audio and shot a few scenes of their own to tie everything together (kinda like The Projectionist, or Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid).... The evil Lightning Bug intends to take over the world with rock n' roll, & when the agents of J-Men thwart his plans, he attacks the earth with Hashish.... Amusingly goofy, & got a few giggles outa me.....

Tonight's Stinker: ESCAPE FROM AREA 51 (2025)

Tonight's Stinker ESCAPE FROM AREA 51 (2025) https://youtu.be/0TumBb6PU9E?si=hVpsIeEf4rB1SB3N Shot on video, lots of low brow college humor, college actors & low brow social commentary... Former Baywatch babe Donna D'Errico plays a leotard clad alien who escapes area 51 after a vlogger takes a whiz on an electric fence.... She manages to call for rescue, but enemy aliens show up & send their leader to hunt her down on Earth... Some predictable, but amusing teenagers attending an Area 51 festival get involved... Corny, but still gave me a few laughs.... Several situations where they make y' think it's about to turn into a porno, but is really just a set-up for another joke...

Tonight's Stinker: Destination Inner Space (1966)

Tonight's Stinker Destination Inner Space (1966) https://youtu.be/pHTmzOHr5FY?si=Y6rADXnfojYN1zNd A navy submarine commander is called to an undersea laboratory that's shaped like a cross... Turns out, they've been getting buzzed by a flying saucer, only underwater.... They go to investigate, & find a giant Tylenol in the ship, & predictably, take it back to the sea lab... The pill starts getting bigger, & a guy in a rubber fish suit pops up outa nowhere.... There's also a subplot about the navy commander having an unpleasant history with one of the divers.... Pretty quick paced & engaging... The music gets kinda grating in the middle... I give it a thumb up....
