Tonight's Stinker: The Aftermath(1982)

Tonight's Stinker The Aftermath(1982) https://youtu.be/WMvEgm_DRqQ?si=FDD7mLhwgNJpuDML A group of astronauts on their way back home can't get in touch with mission control... Cut to a bombed out earth, where Sid Haig runs a gang that kills men & keeps all the women as slaves.... The astronauts decide to ditch their spaceship in the ocean off the coast of California for best visibility, but only two survive, & no one notices... Later that night, the pair gets attacked by mutants, & the next day, they find Los Angeles destroyed; WW3 happened while they were gone.... They find a mansion & settle in, & later one of them changes into some army fatigues & goes out to see if anyone's left... In a museum, he finds a dying curator who leaves him with a young boy... Meanwhile, one of Haig's slave girls escapes... Feels pretty long & meandering, driven by the one astronaut's superfluous narrative.... The first hour is mostly set up before getting in a feud with Haig's gang, leading to a painfully long showdown.... Sorta plays out like like the pilot for a Canadian TV show, even with the sex & violence, all of which is blurred out, & the film turns to black & white every time there's blood in the scene...
