Late Night Public Domain Double Feature Picture Show: 9/18/13

If you are looking for these movies, go to archive.org

1. Teenagers From Outer Space (1959)

How do you hide really crappy acting?  Make them aliens!  This movie is incredibly cheap.  Even by 1959 standards.  So why watch it?  Three words: Giant Space Lobsters.  It's one thing I can always say about these old school sci-fi movies; they are complete crap, but they are so imaginative that they demand to be watched... and mocked... and oddly enjoyed. 

It's not recommended unless you really like crappy sci-fi movies.

2. Flash Gordon (1980)

This movie has everything I enjoy.  Campy action, over the top acting, a silly story, awesome visuals, colorful costumes, and Queen doing the music.  If this had some kick ass martial arts scenes in it, it would be the perfect movie.  The story is simple enough: Flash Gordon must fight Emperor Ming, rescue his girlfriend, and save the world.  All before next football season. 

Flash! The savior of the universe!  He'll save every one of us!
