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...

Tonight's Stinker Nazis at the Center of the Earth (2012) https://youtu.be/BTmCyhZxs3Y?si=bvTb1-STC7qNNjno Researchers at the south pole discover Josef Mengele is still up to his old tricks... Mostly torture & gore-sploitation for the first hour, then we find out they saved Hitler's brain, turned him into a transformer, & built a flying saucer... Then the movie changes pace, & there's a shootout with lasers that make things disappear... Pretty slow & dreadful...
