Another Double Stinker for a Sunday evening

Another Double Stinker for a Sunday evening First: Bandit Queen (1950) https://youtu.be/xAmhaehaP0I?si=f6g9ghoQ8sizwdS7 A young woman comes home in time to witness her parents get murdered by a sheriff in cahoots with a local land grabber.... She takes the whip used to murder her father & learns to use it while living at the local Spanish Mission.... She later rallies some locals to help her steal back stolen gold, & extract vengeance on the men who killed her parents.... A wee bit more preachy than The Master Gunfighter(1975), but much more enjoyable.... Second: BLACK MOUNTAIN (2025) https://youtu.be/26rVcPJ71NE?si=FljhxGAkpExmEpEA So, a couple of researchers get turned down for some grant, which somehow has to to with something in a rural town that turns the locals into paranoid cannibals, while giving outsiders appendicitis..... The audio is abysmal, which only serves to exacerbate the extremely regional dialect & weakly delivered lines... Key scenes have been cut out for no reason, and I was enticed to watch by a grossly inaccurate summary in the description bar.... Ultimately, I had no idea what this movie was about!!!

Twin stinkers for Sunday afternoon

Two-fer for a Sunday afternoon..... The first being We Lived Alone: The Connie Converse Documentary https://youtu.be/Yx1hlEbvQxw?si=7FPlWlcwkgwB9cTA The story about a multitalented woman who failed as a '50s folk singer, disappeared in 1974, then rediscovered in 2003.... Leaves out some details that the viewer may need to read up on first..... The second was SPACE RANGER ORIGIN (2025) https://youtu.be/28oCp0l_ms8?si=E_uLkjE7SPuSq5Gk About a female war veteran who gets a mission to go back & time & destroy the program that created her.... Slow paced, even at less than an hour, spends most of it's time pontificating about futzing around with the space time continuum.... Lots of green screen & CGI that looks like an ad for a video game, and an incredibly confusing story.....

I don't think she's MAGA

Tonight's Stinker: LIGHT YEARS (1986)

Tonight's Stinker LIGHT YEARS (1986) https://youtu.be/koUpDfnq_zc?si=tLUPgOgbDicmWeKG http://www.badmovies.org/movies/lightyears/ Peaceful people living off nature are attacked by lasers that turn them into stone.... News of this reaches an alien capital, who send a young agent to investigate.... He first encounters a group of mutants, who were created at the capital a thousand years earlier, then discarded for being ugly... He learns that the attackers are an army of robots who worship a giant brain.... But the brain wants to help him, but the agent needs to sleep for a thousand years so that the brain will be older & weaker... From a really bad VHS rip... Slow & plodding at times, mostly confusing..... This is one of those movies that back in the days of VHS rental stores, I'd read the back cover & put it back, & walk past it on future visits..... Then I read about it on the internet...... The style kept reminding me of Fantastic Planet(1973), & I couldn't stop thinking about that....

Tonight's Stinker: The Vampire Bat (1933)

Tonight's Stinker The Vampire Bat (1933) https://youtu.be/IctQwO6YYpQ?si=PyZ58SAiSCz1-mw7 In a small German town, a serial killer is leaving victims with neck wounds, drained of blood during an infestation of bats..... Naturally, the locals speak of vampires, & citing historic examples of one... Fingers are quickly pointed at the wild eyed village idiot who keeps bats for pets... But after he's killed, we find out it's really the local doctor, who needs the blood for a breathing potato in a fish tank.... Not too bad.... Really cool scene in this print, about halfway through, where they computer colorized the flames of torches wielded by angry peasants....

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....

Simple enough mission; parachute in, drop off a transmitter & go home.... But things take a turn when she finds a dead body, & the enemy agents threaten to blackmail her.... They also find out there's another spy involved... Soon, all three parties are telling the same story about each other, and the booty changes from a bomb to a stolen piece of art... Deliberately goofy, with some intense action sequences, I give it a thumb up....

Tonight's Stinker: The Cape Canaveral Monsters (1960)

Tonight's Stinker The Cape Canaveral Monsters (1960) https://youtu.be/2kfrFShQqbQ?si=r4FJlWnEIxm-M9UJ Uh, yeah, NO MONSTERS, just a pair of foo-fighters that possess a bickering middle age couple who happen to be wearing jumpsuits.... They get possessed while driving, so they get in a wreck & never bother to clean up.... Meanwhile, scientists at a nearby missile lab are frustrated by constant failures... A young scientist suggests space critters, which earns him the scorn of his elders... The lead scientist is also not fond of this guy dating his niece.... Later that night, the scientists are on a double date, when the protagonist hears static on the radio, which he identifies as an illegal transmitter, and concludes it must be the aliens.... Gets a bit exploitive for an early '60s TV movie, starts to muddle real bad about halfway through, and the low budget really shines through... Still makes for an interesting curio.....

Tonight's Stinker Cosmic Journey (1936) https://youtu.be/hDhJKzuOb2w?si=u8MWbTg56yTKXTkR Soviet era silent movie, with captions & creepy techno music & sound effects.... A scientist has built a moon rocket.... Meanwhile, a fellow scientist tries to stop him, not out of spite, but because all his lab animals keep coming back dead, & he's worried about losing someone so prominent.... The only solution is to steal the ship, along with his assistant & a schoolboy.... But once on the moon, a mechanical failure & navigational error could leave them stranded.... Fairly decent little fantasy for the first half, but then gets a bit plodding.... The sets, props, scale models & animated sequences are pretty cool...

Tonight's Stinker Ghost Planet (2024) https://youtu.be/4z_XODtkWqA?si=BkI0mhOeufxB6SYd Shot on video, the CGI sets & backgrounds, and the practical sets are pretty decent.... One of the characters narrates, starting with a back story about how mankind found technology from an extinct alien race, & learned to use it.... So anyway, these three siblings find a planet with more of this tech, but hafta split when the realize it orbits a ball of radiation, & lose the coordinates.... A year later, all three of them are in dire straits, & things go sideways one night... The next day, they get an offer from a corporate raider who makes them an offer they can't refuse.... They find the planet again, but in what they find out is a stolen ship... And the owners have tracked the ship & plan to beat them to the claim... The acting is pretty stiff at first, but gets better, & the pacing is pretty decent... For low budget shot on video, I found it to be a pretty fun little gem...

Tonight's Stinker: Battle Beyond The Sun (1959)

Tonight's Stinker Battle Beyond The Sun (1959) https://youtu.be/R7Zp0BNQ3IU?si=WSV-eA3fF19fxPc9 Narrated for the first ten minutes (I quit paying attention at one point), WW3 has come & gone, & now the Earth is split between the north & south hemispheres, but the cold way rages on.... The south is about to send the first rocket to Mars.... As they're getting ready to leave, a north spaceship request to dock at their space station for repairs.... After making the repairs, scientific idealism kicks in, & someone reveals they're going to Mars.... the northerners think they can beat the south, & take off without a plan.... Things go haywire.... Whoever wrote the script suggests that the sun is between earth & mars.... At some points, the dubbing is so bad, that words come out while nobody's lips are moving, & it's kinda obvious at times that a label has been placed over the red star on the ships....

Tonight's Stinker: A Dream Come True (1963)

Tonight's Stinker A Dream Come True (1963) https://youtu.be/DQyK62liJ-M?si=sUHwMjEAQjYSKqVE Soviet sci-fi.... A narrator introduces the cosmonauts that will be in the story.... Then one of them plays a song for his girlfriend, which somehow makes it across space to a group of aliens, who decide it's reason enough to fly to earth & check us out.... But, right around Mars, they crash.... The aliens manage to send a distress call to Earth, & they decide to step up production on a new space ship, & another song ensues..... The ending is pretty confusing.... Fans will recognize various elements recycled for Queen Of Blood (1966) Due to the short runtime, I was gonna try & make it a twofer, but this one was exhausting enough, Then again, an infected tooth makes everything pretty exhausting....

Tonight's Stinker: Late August at the Hotel Ozone (1967)

Tonight's Stinker Late August at the Hotel Ozone (1967) https://youtu.be/__t2ChNpfao?si=eMS1lLrjWAbGFSzu Made in Czechoslovakia during the cold war, fifty years after world war 3, an elderly woman leads a group of younger women around the country side looking for whatever they can use, & ways to try & break the monotony.... Then, about forty five minutes in, they find & kill a cow (pretty graphic scene).... The noise attracts the attention of an elderly man, who takes them back to a hotel, where he has everything they need, but no other men...

Tonight's Stinker: Hearts And Armour (1983)

Tonight's Stinker Hearts And Armour (1983) https://youtu.be/6rEYz-vJX-0?si=7pPEewIGdtuVesKH Italian knights this time... As Christians & moors prepare for war, a young woman gets a prophecy that she will fall for a moor prince, but a Christian knight will kill him... She's then, rescued from a gang by a knight who gives her a magic set of armor... Later on she rescues a moor princess, but doesn't reveal her identity until after she meets the Christian knight, whom it turns out, is already in love with the princess... Meanwhile, the moor prince sets out to rescue his sister, where we find out he & another woman are already in love... As love & war, this movie gets very convoluted, with lots of long drawn out fight scenes that could've used some of that '80s synth music that dominates the soundtrack....

Tonight's Stinker: The Sword of the Barbarians (1982) 🏹 🏹 🏹

Tonight's Stinker The Sword of the Barbarians (1982) https://youtu.be/BDPSjiKuSnw?si=JkG8JCTPFErGhQpN Italian Sword & sandal flick, with some goofy gore & gratuitous nudity.... Opens with a long narrative, which (for me) distracted from what was happening on screen.... I got the gist that a warlord wiped out the hero, but while he was a baby, then he grows up to lead a group of people around the country side looking for a place to settle down... He finds a place, but it's already occupied by peaceful villagers who take them in, and a warlord who's goddess demands revenge after the hero kills some of his goons... Confused yet? There's also some tension between the hero's girlfriend & the daughter of the chief that takes them in.... The warlord comes back & destroys the village & kills the girlfriend, but the chief's daughter escapes, they meet an Asian archer & a quest begins.... I have a headache, and I blame this movie...

Tonight's Stinker: Horror Rises from the Tomb (1973)

Tonight's Stinker Horror Rises from the Tomb (1973) https://youtu.be/fvAOzMCvLpE?si=qAO9lFbFaurMeomZ The naughty bits have been edited for television, but not the gory bits... So, in 1400s France, a warlock & his wife are executed, but not before they can place a curse on their captures... Cut to present day Paris, a painter is having visions, while his manager takes their girlfriends to a séance, where they try to find out where the warlock is buried.... The spirit reveals the graveyard, which the manager conveniently happens to own, which is a secluded place up in the mountains..... On the way there, they get carjacked, leaving them stranded... The rest, I'm not even going to try to explain, as the plot wonders all over the place, even crossing different genres.....

Tonight's Stinker The Breach (2013-I Think)

Tonight's Stinker The Breach (2013-I Think) https://youtu.be/Rh1bvFfdccg?si=bKv1_1jOQeRwzFoz And what a stinker... It looks like somebody got an autofocus night vision camera for Christmas, and got with some neighborhood teens & decided to make a zombie movie.... So, these two teenage girls go up the country, get lost & their car breaks down... One of them goes looking for help, & runs afoul of zombies in shrink-wrap.... Then she runs into someone who can barely remember his lines explains (for a really long time) how a group of scientists tore a hole in the universe & opened the gate to hell.... (At this point, I quit paying attention...) Then, they keep adding more characters who can barely remember their lines, none of which are delivered with any real sincerity.... Really goofy stop motion monster shows up in the second half.... I'd say, maybe, 0.00001% better than any given Polonia Bros flick....

Tonight's Stinker: Shoot the Living and Pray for the Dead (1971)

Tonight's Stinker Shoot the Living and Pray for the Dead (1971) https://youtu.be/1j6fCW5jL1E?si=nDFQkeEUyW1VNqSJ Okay, so, I've always enjoyed a good Spaghetti Western, and I've always admired Klaus Kinski's prolific film career, being known just as much for his bmovies as he is for his art house movies, and with the advent of the internet, I learned Kinski made a few of these westerns... So, something I had to get outa my system... This turned out to be a mystery/suspense... The first half follows the formula of a group of people holed up in a bar, with a group of bad guys, the leader being especially sadistic, & tensions rise... It turn out, the gang robbed a bank, which is all over the telegraph lines, their guide for the desert has been murdered, & their bagman is way late... At the bar, a stranger offers to show them the way to Mexico in exchange for half their loot... The loot shows up, & the second half of the movie is pretty much the formula of people lost in the desert, not sure if they can trust their guide...

Tonight's Stinker: The Pumaman (1980)

Tonight's Stinker The Pumaman (1980) https://youtu.be/e59kuXC_bzA?si=7ifvL64j3OVj3HWy So, a million years ago, aliens gave the Aztecs a gold mask, promising Pumaman would protect it.... Present day London, Donald Pleasance leads a group of villains in black leather jumpsuits, who have stolen the mask & intend to use it to control the minds of world leaders... But first, an archeologist warns him about the Pumaman, whom he resolves to find & kill.... Cut to a professor out for a jog, reading about a rash of murders... He goes back to work, where he senses danger, & a Latino with super human strength attacks him & tosses him out a window, but he survives... Later on, the Latino shows up at his house, tells the professor he's the Pumaman, & tries to get him to try on a belt... The audio is pretty grating most of the time, but the disco & midi-synth soundtrack is amusingly goofy... Campy fun that manages to stay engaging most of the time...

Tonight's Stinker: Colossus and the Amazon Queen (1960)

Tonight's Stinker Colossus and the Amazon Queen (1960) https://youtu.be/9sYoYgL4rGo?si=37UnmucRabitywFk So, it opens with an organized brawl, Glauco wins is the last man standing, & everybody walks away happy... Later that night, Pirro, his untrustable friend is approached by a pair of shady sailors who talk him into getting him on the next boat in exchange for drinking money.... Next morning, they're on the boat, & well. one thing leads to another.... Eventually, they make it to an island where they find promised gold & a table with free food & wine that's been drugged... The sailors abandon them to be enslaved by the Amazons.... Of course, the Amazons have their own set of problems, with the two alphas at each others throats, & a queen who's bored & likes to stay drunk.... Meanwhile, an escaped Egyptian inventor plots everyone's escape..... There's also a dated joke about an effeminate group of men.... Mostly comedy, with really poorly placed big band swing music during fight scenes....

Tonight's Stinker: Hercules and the Masked Rider (1963)

Tonight's Stinker Hercules and the Masked Rider (1963) https://youtu.be/64zVVd29-hI?si=TTZNu7xVj8pEDdJ1 So, uh, instead of ancient Greece, it's 16th century Spain, & Hercules is not the main character.... And so I'm having trouble remembering the first third of the movie, because I was too busy trying to wrap my head around that... Okay, so, in 16th century Spain, a Duke chases some escaping serfs onto a Don's property... The Duke threatens war unless he marries the Don's daughter... Old & committed to peace, the Don capitulates... However, a soldier betrothed to the Dona returns the next day, quickly learns the truth, gets exiled, & falls in with some gypsies, & becomes the masked rider.... A bad film print, ripped from a bad VHS, & the dubbing gets grating at times....

Tonight's Stinker: MST3K 517: Beginning of the End (1957)

Tonight's Stinker MST3K 517: Beginning of the End (1957) http://www.badmovies.org/movies/beginend/ https://youtu.be/E8kc3Z7Dxok?si=qBfkZ7g1IEJ5c35L A small Illinois town is destroyed, & all the residents disappear... A well known reporterette smells a story & decides to investigate.... After getting some pictures, both she & the national guard are stumped, until someone mentions a grain silo that collapsed a few months earlier... Instead of going strait to the silo, the reporterette stops at an agricultural scientists laboratory to ask for directions... He takes her to the wrecked silos, where they discover giant man-eating locusts... Must admit, I've seen the first half of this stinker several times, but for one reason or another, wasn't able to watch the end... Mike & the Bots jabs tend to produce some amusing one liners...

Tonight's Stinker Demon of Paradise (1987) https://youtu.be/sZ_saM3D2fs?si=o2NcSjmywhrQYn1N Must mention that it's part of somebody else's weekend movie podcast... So, Anyway... Takes place in Hawaii, Opens with some potty-mouthed dynamite fishermen & their equally potty-mouthed dynamite suppliers who become one of the subplots... After the salesmen take off, a guy in a fish suit shows up, the boats rocks & they drop the dynamite & everybody gets killed.... The local natives are complaining about a shortage of fish, & an elder talks about a demon... They do a hula dance to get rid of the monster, but a local fisherman ticks it off.... There's also a female scientist who believes the beast is real, and a local sheriff whom, no thanks to a sleezy reporter, we learn he lost his last job because he couldn't catch a serial killer... Meanwhile, the owner of a hotel that's about to go under teams up with the down on his luck reporter to turn the monster into an advertising gimmick, which works, but with predictable consequence.... Lot's of that cheesy '80s midi-synth muzak, and a situation towards the end involving a helicopter that made me laugh out loud....

Tonight's Stinker: Swamp of the Lost Monsters

Tonight's Stinker Swamp of the Lost Monsters https://youtu.be/dmFZbu8OxNI?si=uzzpHN18wXk6ZuhS Had a hard time finding out more about this movie, (other than an assumption on my part that this was cobbled from some TV series) but the opening credits mention K Gordon Murray, a "producer" who imported some of the worst matinees that Mexico had to offer.... Also, this was a gosh awful VHS rip from TV of some guys weekend movie show, who cuts in with corny jokes... So, a Mexican rancher dies, then disappears from his coffin... His brother sends for an American detective, but is murdered along the way... Add on some guy in a cheesy sea monster costume who can't swim very well & wears an air tank... Mostly a corny kid friendly detective story.... One scene, the hero gets in a gun fight, only to end it with nobody getting hurt (So I guess they were just shooting to scare each other)...

One of them finds a rock that turns out to be a tool.... They climb a mountain & find a tablet glued to the ground real tight... They pull it out & find a hole with smoke coming out of it.... Naturally, they go inside, where they find a clay mummy & take it home... Later that night, an unconvincing ape man with a face like a drunk werewolf busts out... At only 0:59 minutes, It's really slow & plodding even at the last ten minutes, with an ending so abrupt, it feels anticlimactic!

Rocky & his copilot Winky find out a professor friend of theirs has defected to an enemy race, but they smell a rat, they go to outer space to the enemy planet to see what's really up.... Meanwhile, there's a spy at Space Ranger Headquarters, and the aliens have used some kind of hypno-ray on the professor & his son... There's also the addition of a female navigator & translator, who gets her share of the predictable misogynistic quips from Rocky....

Most of them are against it, as it sounds like communism... Another man in the cattle business laments the regulations on the price of feed, beef & high taxes.... The we come to a man with a foreign accent who gives a little speech about how people always want somebody else to do stuff... Later that night, Russia invades Alaska, & the bar patrons hurry back to their hometowns to help with the war effort.... What follows is a lot of stock WW2 newsreels, with a recurring theme that the military doesn't have enough weapons.... Pretty exciting, even though it becomes pretty obvious halfway through, that it will have a surprise ending & what that surprise will be.....

Tonight's Stinker: The Throne of Fire (1983)

Tonight's Stinker The Throne of Fire (1983) https://youtu.be/312YnpBcUZs?si=ltgLm6ClXmNbSz_p One of those Italian sword & sorcery flicks... A witch spawns the son of the Devil's messenger... The same night, a wizard predicts that his infant son will fight him some day... Twenty years later, the witch commands her son to kill a king & marry his daughter, but warns him of a curse on his throne.... He dispatches a group of warriors with no pants to raid some villages... Meanwhile, the wizard's son is now a bodybuilder who sets out to save the princess... Lots of that corny midi-synth music you'd expect from an Italian film, accompanied by the most annoying use of a kettle drum I've ever experienced, albeit, halfway through the open credits, the music changed in a way that gave me a good chuckle....

Tonight's Stinker: GIANT FROM THE UNKNOWN (1958)

Tonight's Stinker GIANT FROM THE UNKNOWN (1958) https://youtu.be/6rCs2VKOb08?si=vxiT32RE99QWqJaq The film opens with townspeople chattering about a murder that follows recent cattle mutilations... After the local sheriff breaks up the crowd, paleontologist comes into town after three days in the hills.... The paleontologist had a disagreement with the victim a week earlier, so the bullheaded sheriff thinks he's the prime suspect.... Then an archeologist & his daughter pull into town... The paleontologist invites them to dinner, where the archeologist reveals he's looking for the grave a soldier who deserted from a Spanish conquistador.... Pretty talky at the beginning, then get suspenseful, the sorta drags out the last fifteen minutes....

Tonight's Stinker: The Day the Sky Exploded (1958)

Tonight's Stinker The Day the Sky Exploded (1958) https://youtu.be/E5-ddFsICpQ?si=dTwNf0vQzjq-hd-V So, Americans & Russians assemble in Australia to send a manned rocket into space, but first it's ten minutes of excitable newsmen & procedural jibber jabber..... Then, another ten minutes of jibber jabber, then the lab pops the Champaign, then the pilot loses control of the rocket & safely ejects back to earth... Lots and lots of procedural & scientific jibber jabber throughout the movie, a subplot about the pilots strained relationship with his wife & another about a scientist trying to make the moves on a mathematician.... We eventually learn that the rocket kept going, blew up in an asteroid belt & there's a giant meteor headed towards earth, and it takes about an hour for somebody to realize the most obvious solution.... The movie does start to get pretty intense in the second half.....

Tonight's Stinker The Strange World of Planet X (1958) (AKA Cosmic Monsters)

Tonight's Stinker The Strange World of Planet X (1958) (AKA Cosmic Monsters) https://youtu.be/lwFPvvJzQQQ?si=RUo9LD7DL5hl-eSP A British scientist & his American assistant are working with high powered magnetic waves in hopes of creating a ray gun that will destroy enemy aircraft, but so far, just knocks out televisions.... A recent failure & a high budget brings the prying eyes of the top brass.... A demonstration reveals that the ray doesn't stay in a containment box, & reeks havoc in the town, the local homeless guy starts killing people, & a stranger shows up.... 50s sci-fi, British style, so it's mostly talk & innuendo, with mostly darkened out action sequence toward the end with the army duking it out with footage of bugs under a microscope....

Tonight's Stinker: Space Probe Taurus (1965)

Tonight's Stinker Space Probe Taurus (1965) https://youtu.be/U_R7LoJCR2E?si=9jR8jSGYbe8V-zoT Plays out like a garbage pile of other sci-fi b-movies.... It begins with a failed mission to see if another planet can support life... A year later, a newer ship is sent on the same mission... First order of business is for the commander to express his feelings about having a woman on board, then acknowledge passing a space station, then encounter an alien ship & have to kill the alien on board & blow up his ship... That's, like, the first half hour or so... From there it's pontificating & dealing with an annoying copilot, then a meteor shower & a malfunction that sends them off course..... The film has plenty of it's moments, but is more innuendo than action...

Tonight's Stinker: The Flame Barrier (1958)

Tonight's Stinker The Flame Barrier (1958) https://youtu.be/RdCrIlMQOvM?si=uNSo5cZZjXv3ue4l Dreadfully slow & painful to watch.... It begins with a narrative about a satellite believed to have burned up on re-entry, but a scientist thinks it it landed somewhere in Mexico.... Next, the scientists wife shows up & talks a crabby safari guide & his drunk brother into taking her to find him... Setting the pace for the rest of the movie this bickering trio wonders through the jungle occasionally running into local natives talking about angry gods, & something killing the animals, while some of them die from inexplicable burns... Science fiction stuff towards the end that left me scratching my head....

Tonight's Stinker Space Master X 7 (1958)

Tonight's Stinker Space Master X 7 (1958) https://youtu.be/Ed-X_2iyolM?si=ZAb4-p2CExEcb6rf It's a pretty bad rip, all pixelated & blurry, but not enough that you can't get the gist of what's going on... So, NASA brings back a sample of some kind of fungus from outer space & gives it to a scientist who takes it home to his private laboratory.... Unfortunately, he arrives home to find his Ex waiting for him... She's remarried & wants custody of their son... She pesters him for days while he's trying to work with a growing & dangerous fungus... He finally relents, & she leaves, but later that night, the fungus kills him..... The army destroys his lab, & takes a tape recording of his research... While listening to the tape, they discover the Ex was there... It's up to two agents to find out who she is & where she went.... The next day, she sees a newspaper headline saying the scientist is dead, & she's wanted for questioning... Assuming she's wanted for murder, she goes underground.... All science-fictiony in the beginning, then gets kinda plodding in the middle, the gets surprisingly riveting...

Then the movie changes pace, & there's a shootout with lasers that make things disappear... Pretty slow & dreadful...
