I'll admit it: Coroner Penguin made me smile.

You know... if you cut out the creepy undertones, I can actually see a screwball comedy about a caveman learning modern social norms while living with a young couple working out all right.

Huh... between the tasteless rape riffs, the ugly-on-many-levels attitude of the short, and the unlikable characters... this was probably the hardest one for me to sit through so far. Yikes.

Fun fact: the original release of the movie was titled "Swamp Women", and had the tagline "Women with a lust for men!"

Welcome to the 50's.

WHY did they title the movie "Pod People"? Is it because the alien eggs are sort of like pods? Is it because the acting is just that wooden and unnatural? Or is it because they wanted to piggyback off a legitimately good movie remake that had come out a few years prior? (That's my guess.)

Well, that was fun. It was like watching your little brother in a school play: weird, and cheap, but sort of fun.

It feels like the movie got about 3/4 of the way through when someone said "Wait, maybe dramatic tension and a plot would come in handy."

Huh, third movie so far I actually liked even without the riffing. Those scorpions were pretty neat!

I have a feeling that this tribe is just a few generations removed from the "B.C." comic strip.

With the amount of time and effort he put into that cyborg, The Bat probably could have stolen an army tank and hired a disposable thug to grab the breastplate and bracelet before running away. When Popoca followed... *BOOM*.

...And apparently there's a whole series of these movies, which were released in response to "Conan the Barbarian" along with the "Ator" movies. I never thought I'd miss Ator.

Was anyone else expecting the movie to be a lot more Gor-y?

(Don't hit me...)
