Admiral (It’s a trap!) Ackbar, a team mascot? Before any final decisions are made, the Misfits have some suggestions of their own to make about which movie characters would make a good mascot.
6 ‘n 90! Da Man reviews six movies in ninety seconds.
Robert Culp and Corey Haim remembered.
We’re late, we’re late, for a very important date. So put on your breastplate, helmet, and shield, because we’re going to…Wonderland?
Frankenstein Meets the Spacemonster. A lost episode of Steve Allen’s Meeting of Minds? Allen: What’s your take on the current economic situation, Mr. Frankenstein? Frankenstein: …. Allen: And your point of view on this, Spacemonster? Spacemonster: GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! (rips off Allen’s head) Or is it a low budget, sci-fi film packed with stock footage and babes in bikinis? Maybe, it’s just an early, blatant example of product placement, shilling for Vespas.

Cinema Misfits Podcast, Episode 8: Interview with James Karen, Reviews of Up, Percy Jackson and The Olympians, and The Wolfman
Up. Maybe we’re just a bunch of Johnny-come-latelies who missed the bandwagon, but even so, nothing is going to stop us from putting in our two cents about Up. It’s great! So there.
The Islander is where guests are interviewed by Nancy and asked to pick the ten films they would take with them to a desert island. Nancy’s guest this week is character actor James Karen. Among his many TV appearances are roles on Seinfeld and The Larry Sanders Show, and on the big screen he has appeared in Poltergeist, The Return of the Living Dead, Frankenstein Meets the Spacemonster, and many other films.
