Now, I need to seek out Mondo Balordo. ;)Barry P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11251536316431708240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1463671176628323648.post-74759545857583732952023-03-11T12:40:23.870-08:002023-03-11T12:40:23.870-08:00Entertaining as always, Barry.

It is a trick of my brain that I always get Something Weird mixed up with the Karloff-hosted documentary Mondo Balordo, which is admittedly also something weird. Thus, I have never actually watched Something Weird. I saw John mentioned it is on Tubi. I'll have to check it out.MichaelWDenneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08385982366116957705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1463671176628323648.post-43400227754237289602023-02-27T18:20:19.136-08:002023-02-27T18:20:19.136-08:00Thanks so much, Brian!

It has about the same caliber acting as Blood Feast and 2000 Maniacs, but that's some of the charm (Sort of like a bad dinner theater play with only a slightly bigger budget).Barry P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11251536316431708240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1463671176628323648.post-6910576472178734892023-02-27T18:16:48.252-08:002023-02-27T18:16:48.252-08:00Thanks, John! :) It's not great cinema, but wh...Thanks, John! :) It's not great cinema, but when it's H.G. Lewis, it doesn't have to be. And yes, that commentary was a snoozefest (I almost nodded off a few times!).Barry P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11251536316431708240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1463671176628323648.post-4302918743044014582023-02-27T18:14:38.341-08:002023-02-27T18:14:38.341-08:00And thanks so much for hosting another cool blogat...And thanks so much for hosting another cool blogathon, Rebecca!

I was familiar with H.G. Lewis' "masterpieces" like Blood Feast and 2000 Maniacs, but somehow this one passed me by. It sounds like Lewis threw in elements (ESP, witches, ghosts, etc.) selected by throwing darts at a board, and the effect is a psychedelic trip without the LSD. Your wry comments about Lewis' filmmaking philosophy and the acting had me chuckling!Brian Schuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08463833554200343247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1463671176628323648.post-62600683369918591452023-02-27T08:08:16.708-08:002023-02-27T08:08:16.708-08:00Fun and funny review, Barry!

I have never seen something weird but I have noticed it on Tubi. Sounds like I need to check it out! John L.

Wow. I may have to look for this one just for curiosity's sake.
