I was tripping on acid the first time I ever watched this film. The way Don 'No Soul' Simmons delivers the line 'Jeremiah was a bullfrog...' has lived rent free in my head ever since.

Nothing costs rent to live in your head. It’s called a memory. Stop using that stupid fucking term.

This is one I used to watch tripping on DXM - along with Top Secret, Freddy Got Fingered, and other wacky comedies. My buddy and I have watched Chappelle Show and The Simpsons on shrooms. I saw Enemy at the Gates at the theater tripping on Hawaiian Woodrose seeds.

Not "Unsolved Mysteries." The "Bullshit or not" segment was a parody of a tv show from the 1970's called "In Search Of.." hosted by Leonard Nimoy.

[@stevengatkins]

"Bullshit Or Not" was a parody of Ripley's Believe It Or Not (hosted by Jack Palance) and little nod to In Search Of (hosted by Leonard Nimoy), as well. I like how they kep changing the year Amazon Women On The Moon was made each time they went back to it.

[@chrislaustin]

Damn, I haven't thought about this movie in ages, I forgot how great this was, thanks for the walk down memory lane.

[@ThisLoveIsSweet]

[@msmilder25]

YES!! Finally, someone is reacting to Amazon Women on the Moon! Been waiting for this for a few years. I think I was 13-14 years old when I first saw this on Showtime back in the late 80's

[@exile220ify]

Not So Fun Fact: Lana Clarkson, who plays Alpha Beta in this film, is the woman that Phil Spector murdered in 2003. He served the rest of his life in prison.

[@RussellCHall]

If Brian Cranston said that the one things he'd like removed from his resume is this movie that means he's cool with his episode of Babylon 5, this makes me happy 😊

[@dvsreed]

The lovely actress Lana Clarkson was in this movie. She played the Amazon Alpha Beta. Mostly known as an actress for her role in sword and sorcery movies like Deathstalker and Barbarian Queen. She was shot and killed by music producer Phil Spector.

[@jedigrandvelle8844]

OMG!!! Not since THE KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE, has there's been a funny slapstick comedy film that delivers.😂

[@Brazbit]

Thank you for solving a decades long mystery of mine. I saw this on cable as a kid. The Video Pirates skit has been stuck in my mind ever since. I have watched dozens of movies from this time period trying to figure out what it was from. For years I thought it was in Time Bandits, but I could never make it through enough of that one to confirm or deny. This movie was not even on my list as I couldn't think of any reason, I would have watched such a thing. But back when we first got cable sometimes, we would watch whatever caught our eye and the skits in this coming one after another would have definitely been a stop and watch without knowing what the movie was since the only way to know back then if you missed the intro would have been to dig though the T.V. Guide or the television listings in the paper assuming you had access to either.

[@j030977]

The fact that I was a (10-year old) child when this came out and remember it worries me. Did our parents just let us watch anything? LOL!

[@Gravydog316]

no, what is sad that 10-year-olds today grow up watching the Kardashians, Real Housewives & My 400-pound Ass Is Growing

[@cesarvidelac]

I thought I was the only living human left that remember this movie! I'm so happy 😸❤️

[@prestonkourian]

Holy cow, I didn't think I'd ever see a reaction for this one.

[@donbergeson6771]

You would love David Allen Grier in the 80s movie "Beer" with Loretta Swit and Rip Torn. My friends and I watched that constantly in one their basements while drinking back in high school in the 80s.

[@benjamingriffeth6694]

Every time they introduce the movie, the year changes.

[@dvsreed]

The Invisible Man sketch was always my favorite

[@ThisLoveIsSweet]

Ever see a shirt make a phone call? Oooooh... ooooohhhhhhh 😄 🤣 😂

[@chrisgrove7829]

Love that opening Arsenio Hall bit. It never fails to crack me up:)

[@GizmoJunk]

The very first time that I saw this movie it was 1:30 AM, and our (old style CRT) television was off. I had just woken up; still groggy. I turned on the TV and the picture slowly faded into the opening title of the "Son of the Invisible Man" segment. I sat there and watched the whole thing through to the end before I realized that it was not an actual sequel to the Invisible Man. This was my bewildering introduction to this film.

[@paulsander5433]

It was a little trippy to see Robert Picardo ("Total Recall") with hair. William H. Macy and B. B. King were so young! Joe "Guido the Killer Pimp" Pantoliano was great! Soooo many familiar faces! Looks like they either reused or re-created the costumes from "Forbidden Planet".

[@ynz3713]

It’s a shame that these types of slapstick/sketch movies are not made anymore.

[@PuppetDungeon]

Literally one of the best movies to put on for friends who've no idea what it is. Definitely great double feature with Kentucky Fried Movie, and in fact... was broadcasted together on cable more often than not. Right before Heavy Metal. Good times...

[@haruruben]

18:41 Forbidden Planet!

[@darrenrunning5415]

I just realized that Pete Jones is actually a clip of Bela Legosi as The Sayer of the Law from Island of Lost Souls based on H.G. Wells The Island of Dr. Moreau.

[@RoSaWa386-33]

I think you're almost ready to watch THE LOST SKELETON OF CADAVRA. Be forewarned - this film begs for a 'silly attitude' but it is soooo hilarious.

[@uncommon_niagara1581]

I love Arsenio's apartment of doom.

[@Gravydog316]

The Groove Tube is right up there with this and Kentucky Fried Movie.

[@PIXPromosMore]

So, a few points you might've missed (that others MAY have already mentioned): 1. The man with Michelle Pfeiffer in the Baby scene was her (then) real-life husband Peter Horton (best known for "thirtysomething") 2. The lady with Steve "gubenab" (Guttenberg) is Roseanna Arquette 3. The "Siskel & Ebert-esque" critics in the Harvey Pitnik sketch were (AL) Lohman & (Roger) Barkley, a long-running radio duo from LA 4. The Head Pirate in "Video Pirates" was William Marshall; best known for "Blackula" and also the 2nd actor to play "The King of Cartoons" on Pee Wee's Playhouse 5. The Man propositioning the "1st Lady of the Evening" was Terry McGovern; AKA "Launchpad McQuack" on the Original DuckTales (...woo-hoo!) 6. Kinda surprised you missed Ralph Bellamy (AKA Randolph Duke from "Trading Places"/"Coming to America") in the condom sketch...also, the late Kelly Preston as the girlfriend And I'm sure there's a bunch of other "Wait! I know that Guy's" that you missed, but I still enjoy your enthusiasm watching these movies.

[@dvsreed]

Lana Clarkson played Amazon Alpha Beta. She was later murdered by Phil Spector

[@michaelbuhl4250]

The video store clerk was Russ Meyer, who was a director of movies known for beautiful, well endowed women. I like his movies for their bizarre sense of humor. I would love it if you reacted to his movies *Beyond the Valley of the Dolls* and *Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!*

[@JC-wr7mu]

I thought Jack Palance and Ripley's Believe It Or Not was the main inspiration for Bullshit or Not. Loved this movie when I was a kid. Where the hell were my parents when I watched this?

[@0okamino]

Right. Unless they added that part much later, it would have to be more of a cross between that (quite funny, since Palance is in this movie) and _In Search Of._ The pilot for _Unsolved Mysteries_ aired in January 1987, but AWOTM was already finished before 1987.

[@TimothySmiths]

Its 100% a take off of Ripley's Believe It Or Not with Palance.

[@johnniekight1879]

Me, my girlfriend and a friend were tripping watching this on HBO when a friend of mine named Selma stopped by. Oddly enough she was tripping too. She only stayed for a few minutes but was there when Lou Jacobi said "Selma!! Get me outta here". The look on her face was priceless.

I love this movie so much. Shaped my sense of humor as a kid

[@ScreamingScallop]

Pointless trivia: "Nessie" is a leftover prop from Larry "Buck" Buchanan's 1981 ultra-cheapie _The Loch Ness Horror._ Whomever kept it must have rebuilt it, because it's a lot more expressive than the original. Somehow, the clothing and the prop's leering eyes make me think of Lee Van Cleef in _The Good, The Bad and the Ugly._ President Lava Lamp was Forrest J. Ackerman, editor of _Famous Monsters of Filmland_ magazine. He did a lot of cameos, usually in tish like _Dracula vs Frankenstein_ and _Future War._ I love _Amazon Women on the Moon_ and it's so good to see you two enjoying it, perhaps even more than I do! It casts its net a _little_ too wide, I think, but the segments that didn't land for me when I was younger are killing me now.

[@LEGENDCITYest1963]

I love the dating scene between Newton Crosby and David Arquette's brother.
