What's in store for you in Vol. XIV? Read on...
Mad Monster
A 1942 wannabe werewolf film shot in very badly fading black and white. The Plot? Well, a mad scientist, whose work was laughed out of his former university, uses a serum developed from wolves to turn his gardener into a mad monster and get back at those who wronged him. Lots of fog, lots of bad makeup effects, and a lot of terrifically bad acting. This is a Season One episode before TV's Frank entered the picture, and includes a Commando Cody short. Joel Hosts.
Manhunt in Space
Made from three episodes of a TV show from the 1950s called "Rocky Jones, Space Ranger," this is a generic tale of space pirates...IN SPACE! And a cloaking device. And a lot of people in capes, for some reason. I dunno. Rocky's geeky sidekick bears the full brunt of Joel and the gang's heckling. Some pure genius here, and there's also a General Hospital short to start it all off.
Soul Taker
This episode from the final season finds Mike and crew dealing with a terrible life-after-death flick starring Joe Estevez as...the Soultaker. It's so 80s, its hard to watch as the displaced souls of our heroes run around a town trying to outwit the Soultaker, who never seems to move faster than a brisk walk. And it's written by one of the stars!
Final Justice
One of the my personal favorites, Joe Don Baker stars as a Texas sheriff who, by happenstance, finds himself chasing down a kingpin of crime in exotic . . . Malta? Another episode from the final season, Mike and the gang have a field day not only with Joe Don's corpulent character, but also with the dismal portrayal of the island of Malta itself.
