Episode Synopsis
#shoutfactory #vinegarsyndrome #moviereviews
Space Truckers (1996) Set in 2196, Stuart Gordon’s Space Truckers is a sci-fi comedy and nothing more. It presents us with our Hero, John Canyon (Dennis Hopper) losing his big cargo shipment contract with the Pig company owned by the guy from Cheers. So he decides to become an independent space trucker. He meets up with newbie Mike Pucci (Stephen Dorff), and stowaway Cindy (Debi Mazar). Dr. Nabel (Charles Dance) has developed a cyborg warrior to achieve his goal of complete domination of Earth. In fact he has about 5 thousand of these cyborgs. The power of the cyborg is on full display in the beginning of the film when it takes out a military unit and leaves only Nabel and his assistant behind. Blu-ray available via Shout Factory
The Cornshukker (1997) Somewhere in the cornfields of Indiana lives The Cornshukker. What in the world is The Cornshukker? Comparisons to David Lynch’s Eraserhead are out there. The comparison holds water as far as the surreal, midwest vibe, however, there are no scares in The Cornshukker. Instead of suspense, we are treated to dancing and dark comedy. The Cornshukker is it’s own thing. An accurate comparison would be the Cornshukker to Groot from Guardian’s of the Galaxy. They both have one line they use to communicate. “I know” is The Cornshukker’s “I am Groot.” The story gets going when The Cornshukker’s food supply, corn, is in danger. The Cornshukker leaves his habitat. Word gets around town that The Cornshukker exists. The fate of The Cornshukker is in the hands of the town. At a run time of 63 minutes the movie does not provide much as far as character development.
Waxwork (1988) 6 College students decide to visit a free wax museum called WaxWork. Inside Waxwork are wax models of mummies, vampires, werewolves and zombies. The only thing missing are the victims. The college kids are soon used as victims for the wax models. There are some awesome set pieces and an exciting ending full of blood and fire.
Waxwork II: Lost in Time (1992) Takes place immediately after Waxwork. A right hand has escaped the waxwork and is out for revenge and murder’s Sarah’s stepfather. Only Sarah ends up taking blame for the murder. Mark and sarah find a museum of artifacts that lead them to a portal. They enter the portal and are separated. Mark encounters Frankenstein and Frankenstein’s monster. 2001 a space odyssey sequence where Lord Scarabus is revealed. Who looks like a xynomorph dinosaur. Alien/Aliens parody. Borderline scary movie stuff going on. Bruce Campbell and David Carradine have cameos. Waxwork 2 turns into a parody and leans heavy into the comedy . Skip it.
