COOL-NAMED (BUT NON-EXISTENT) SPORTS TEAM – THE ROBOT MONSTERS

 With the colleges and universities I cover all pretty much on summer break right now I figured I’d temporarily replace my Cool-Named Team feature with Cool-Named (but non-existent) Sports Teams based on bad movies. These could become the new mascots for teams that currently have one of the four most overused nicknames in college sports – namely Eagles, Tigers, Bulldogs and Wildcats. At least it would give us a laugh. 

Division: Black and White

Conference Affiliation: 1950’s Monster Movies

Comment: The 1953 flick Robot Monster is a Continue reading →

FRONTIERADO TRIPLE FEATURE OF THE BAD, THE WEIRD AND THE FREAKY

With the Frontierado holiday coming up the first Friday in August I’ll be devoting more and more coverage to it. To learn more about this holiday click here: https://glitternight.com/2010/07/28/just-9-more-shopping-days-until-frontierado/

THE MUMMY AND THE CURSE OF THE JACKALS (1969) – Category: A neglected bad movie classic that deserves a Plan 9-sized cult following     Depending on which film book you read this movie either did or did not have any theatrical release but thankfully it’s available on video.
