I had forgotten much of that, aside from the "fart act as jet!" moment which is where I lost it.
Thank you for your service.

I think there are only a couple left, maybe we can get a new round early if people are down.

Popatopolis (2009)
You can rent this documentary, featuring Stormy Daniels, on Amazon for $5.99 or own it for $7.99. I hate when they do shit like that. They really wanna trick people into buying this shit. Oh, well. Whatever. Might as well use that Trump money to “stimulate the economy.” What better stimulation than Stormy Daniels. Am I right?
Well, color me surprised. This documentary is a riot. It follows the chaotic 3-day shoot of the softcore porno the Witches of Breastwick (2005). The director Jim Wynorski started his career in the 1980’s making B-movie classics such as Chopping Mall and Deathstalker II. In the the 90’s he discovered Jennifer Love Hewitt, although she’ll never admit to it. By the 2000’s he found himself directing a healthy rotation of softcore porn, Syfy schlock and direct-to-video children’s movies. So diverse.
As mentioned earlier, the documentary follows the 3-day shoot of Breastwick and its production would have made Ed Wood proud. I was howling at the stupidity, incompetence, awkwardness and ingenuity that it took to get this garbage made. It’s inspiring! Worth spending Trump’s money on.

Jay Bauman has name dropped Witches of Breastwick on Best of the Worst, possibly on the Chopping Mall episode. And yeah Doomsday, I'd be down to start early.

Admittedly my experience with awful, terrible, mind-numbing, eye-gouging, testicle-smashing and bottom of the barrel films doesn't come close to Godzilla's but I thought Popatopolis was one you might enjoy and was happy to see that you picked it. Glad you dug it. So I think the only one we're waiting on is skink and he already watched his so...who's in for next round?

Crimewave (1985)
First, my unedited drunken/stoned notes:
------------------------------------------------------- -I already hate the lead
-Bruce is stealing the show
-The wipes!
-How long of an execution walk is this?
-Smiling guy wiping the electric chair is my hero
-What a terrible city model
-This storm rules, canopy falling down and lightning
-What the hell is this budget ? -The murder by rats/men Ghostbusters rat thing?
-The binoculars shot is kinda cool
-His small talk is funny, cherish
-Wait. Is the skinny exterminator ron jeremy?
-Why does the fat exterminator talk like Kermit/barney gumbel ? -The score for this is like a tex avery cartoon.
-$36? Man the world has gone through inflation!
-The dance scene followed by thr Kitchens is pretty funny
-Helene no!
-Dishthrowing shot wonderfully
-This is kinda like a three stooges movie
-More movies should have kids flung across the frame
-The voice imitation gag is good!
-The door gag is good!
-The car chase is impressive on the low budget!
-Several people involved could be considered the worst actor.
-FACE JUSTICE ! -The physics of this guardrail vs bumper fight on top of a teetering car dont really make sense. The hood gag makes up for it
-Oh not the ear!!! Climbijg over hik is funny
-Oh COME ON EXECHTIONER ------------------------------------------------------
If you told me a movie written by the Coen brothers and directed by Sam Raimi would have ended up this much of a mess, I wouldn't have believed you. Off the runaway success of Evil Dead, Embassy Pictures initially decided to give Raimi full creative control of Crimewave; however, as would be repeated later in his career, clashes with the studio would rear their ugly head in production.
Reading up on the production, Raimi didn't really know how to direct a Hollywood movie at this point in his career. Raimi didn't account for unions in his budget, and his inability to shoot under a fake movie name caused the hotel where he shot to jack up the costs. Several actors look coked out of their mind; this is amusing in Brion James' case, less so in Sheree J Wilson. The studio tried to control costs to strange effects. It's clear that Bruce Campbell should be the lead of this movie, but the studio insisted on foisting Reed Birney slipshod Jerry Lewis impression upon audiences. Raimi retaliated by giving Bruce an expanded role not originally in the script.
But once you embrace the Three Stooge/Tex Avery mashup that is here, there's a lot to enjoy. There are inspired moments in this movie, as well as flourishes you'd see him repeat later - POV shots from thrown objects, cameras racing to gaping maws, cameras racing away from running people, dutch angles all appear here, as does a nice little sequence where the heavy runs through repleated closing doors to murder a woman, only to have her topple those doorways like bookcases in return. Bruce steals every scene he is in, and the exterminators grow on you.
Would I watch this again? Yes, but I'd have to be in the right mood.
6/10.

-This is kinda like a three stooges movie RIGHT? I've always gotten the feeling that's what this movie was going for. Like Raimi wanted his own take on Airplane!, so he tried to make a parody film stylized after Three Stooges shorts. This movie is something else.
