Because we’re apparently on a bad tech movie kick, this Wednesday, May 22, we’ll be mocking Expect No Mercy. We don’t expect we’ll be giving this film any. There will be Tae Bo jokes.
This movie is freely available on YouTube. Continue reading “Mock the Movie: Xtreme Xercise Edition”
A couple of weekends ago, I was at Omegacon for a bit of enforced relaxation. Yes, it really is an F&SF convention that people attend in their pajamas.
While we were there, a couple of my network mates and I got together with our friends from the Geeks Without God podcast to play Left Behind: The Movie, The Board Game Adventure. (I swear to you on all that is unholy that this is really the name of the game.) Being who we are, we also set up a microphone to capture the event.
I can’t tell you how much we were looking forward to this. It played no small part in the decision to leave my bedroom after an insane week that involved a business trip and traveling to the emergency room before dawn in a city I’d never been to before. Yes, everyone will be fine, but I was a bit of a wreck. But this! The Left Behind board game! The lulz!
How can you not play this game when offered the opportunity?!
Well, frankly, you can just listen to the podcast. We weren’t expecting anything good, but this game was bad in the very worst way that a game can be bad. All I can say is hooray for making up your own rules. And for moonshine-soaked cherries. Those helped even those of us who don’t like booze.
So go listen. Play the podcast drinking game if you feel so inclined. If you still feel you must play this when you’re done, leave a comment at Geeks Without God. I don’t know whether they’ve found a new home for the game, but I know no one there wanted to keep it, even as a novelty.
All right. For realz this time, we’re moving back to Wednesdays. This Wednesday, May 8, we’re exploring hacksploitation cinema. That’s a thing, right? Because something like .com for Murder is better–or at least fundable–if you put it in virtual reality. You can tell it must be great, because we can’t find a trailer. Have a terrible movie poster instead.
This one is available on Netflix. Do help us mock it, won’t you? Continue reading “Mock the Movie: Hacksploitation Edition”
This week on April 24, we’re moving back to Wednesday with Super Mario Brothers. Because sometimes good actors do very bad movies. [Update: Well, we were. Life continues to be life, so we’ve moved this to Thursday as well. April 25 for this one.]
This is currently available in full on YouTube, but watch this space if that changes. We will find a way. Continue reading “Mock the Movie: Video Game Edition”
Jason and I have people to meet at the airport this Wednesday, so we’re shifting the date on this week’s movie mocking.
This Friday, April 12, we turn to Edgar Allan Poe. Sort of. Well, we turn to Roger Corman and what he, and only he, could do with Poe as source material. That’s right. We’re watching Masque of the Red Death. And yes, we know. Sometimes, though, it’s nice to be able to mock the over-the-top elements of a movie that doesn’t bore us to tears.
If you would like to be utterly unprepared for the movie, you can read the short story before we start. Or you can just pull up the movie on YouTube and watch without the additional horror that is appreciating the source material. Continue reading “Mock the Movie: Friday Edition”
Really, this is how you do it:
We made a mistake. It’s important as a website that readers can trust that we are up front when this happens, and willing to admit to our failings, and promise to address them. And as recently as last week, Rock, Paper, Shotgun let a woman write an article. We would like to apologise to our readers for any offence caused.
Well, it’s how you do it when you don’t mean a word of it, anyway.
This Wednesday, March 27, we will watch DNA, because it isn’t enough to rip off a major science fiction film. Additionally, one must add the threat of weaponized dinosaurs. Or dinosaur-things. Or mega-soldiers powered by dinosaur DNA. You know, like you do.
This one isn’t free for everyone, but it is available on Netflix and Hulu. Continue reading “Mock the Movie: Dinosaur Soldier Edition”
Last time, Mock the Movie brought you The Hollywood Cover Girls as black-leotarded, moon-based schemers. If you prefer your viewing pleasure male and your aliens a bit more alien, this is your week. This Wednesday, we present Dolph Lundgren in Dark Angel.
How many cop movies explicitly credit actors as “good alien” and “bad alien”? As we try to do as often as possible, this movie is free on YouTube. Now with updated link. Continue reading “Mock the Movie: Good Alien, Bad Alien Edition”
Our last choice for Mock the Movie turned out to be an unusually sweet treatment of the sexual underground. Those of us watching mostly gave up on mocking and started enjoying. We’re pretty sure this won’t happen this time around. This Wednesday, we’re headed into space for Cat-Women of the Moon. It would be hard to improve on the IMDB description for this one.
Astronauts travel to the moon where they discover it is inhabited by attractive young women in black tights.
I understand there’s something of a plot as well.
The whole thing is on YouTube for your viewing pleasure. Continue reading “Mock the Movie: Black Leotard Edition”
This Wednesday, February 13, we do…er, watch Killer Condom. I am not writer enough to do this Troma-distributed film justice.
Like all Troma films, this one is available on YouTube for free viewing. Come (as it were) mock it with us, would you? Continue reading “Mock the Movie: Evil Prophylaxis Edition”
