[@FreejackVesa]

Hey Cecil, this has nothing to do with this post but I'd like to recommend perhaps doing a series on Cold War era nuclear/biological disaster movies. I've recently been rewatching some classics and I think it would be an interesting theme. "Countdown to looking glass" - nuclear war 80s prop film "Warning Sign" - biological outbreak movie with Yaphet Kotto "The Day After" - another Cold War 80s nuclear war prop film from 83 "Threads" - UK film from 80s, actually quite disturbing. About the outbreak of nuclear war "Special Bulletin" - a terrorist group brings a homemade atomic bomb aboard a tugboat in the harbor of Charleston, South Carolina in order to blackmail the U.S. government into disabling its nuclear weapons, and the incident is caught live on television. It's a mock drama styled as a news bulletin "By Dawns Early Light" - another 80s prop film about the outbreak of nuclear war "Without Warning" - tv news style mock drama about…a disaster. Don’t want to ruin the plot. I mistakenly remembered it being about nuclear war but I misremembered. Doesn’t really belong on this list but I’m going to leave it here anyway because it fits the vibe. There are many more but those are particularly notable imo. Also, another interesting movie that would be quite controversial to review would be "White Dog". It's about a white fluffy dog that has been trained to be racist, and the efforts of some dog trainers to try and make it not racist. It's a very strange movie that would never be made today, worth checking out imo.

[@fisheyenomiko]

"Without Warning" - It's not about nuclear war, actually. I won't say what it is (it's good enough I don't want to spoil it), but it's not nukes. If you're doing it as part of a theme, I think this movie would work better with found footage/mockumentary movies.

[@FreejackVesa]

@@fisheyenomiko you are absolutely right! My mistake, thank you. I have updated the list, while leaving it in with a disclaimer.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

I was working on a video about the history of The Day After but then a full blown documentary was just released and so I put it on hold. They kinda beat me to the punch.

"Your buddy is now this giant jellyfish." Really no way to sugar-coat that happening. 😳 Thanks for another great episode based on a Roger Corman film, Cecil. I did see this film decades ago on VHS rental, so I think it's time for a rewatch. For a minute, I thought the corporation's name wasn't Martel, but Mattel. Talk about branching out from selling toys to experimental underwater habitation.

God, this video really went all in with the humour and nostalgia references. Especially the C64 Aliens. I haven't played that since I was a kid. I love movies like this. Cheap budgets use to really get the most creativity and ingenuity out of a special effects team and it shows. It's a shame directors don't get that a lot of us audience members appreciate that and instead try to for the latest CGI to make everything "perfect." Give me rubber suits and stop motion any day.

[@MndScream]

I actually played that drop ship sequence several times. That was always one of my favorite games on the C64. So there...4 people got the reference! Great video Mr. GBF!

The ALIENS connections go deeper. LORDS OF THE DEEP's VFX supervisor was Robert Skotak, whose film immediately prior to this was...you guessed it, ALIENS (and he won an Oscar too!). And, he also worked on THE ABYSS. Not to mention Cameron got his start working with Corman.

Another funny ass episode Cecil👍👍 BTW will you ever get around in featuring ''One Man Force'' from 1989 on a episode of ''Good Bad Flicks'' or ever get to do a ''Exploring'' episode of ''Savage Streets?'' especially since that revenge exploitation classic will be turning 40 sometime this June.

[@barbllm]

I actually watch this unriffed on the Tubi app, where I think it still is, and then later, I watched the mystery science theater version of it. I maintain that it's actually a decent movie. it appears to be a very , very low-budget rip off of the abyss, but I genuinely liked it.

[@wstine79]

This was the third best of the Jonah Heston episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000.

[@wimvanderstraeten6521]

It makes you wonder why so many underwater horror movies were released around the same time. Underwater (2020) is the most recent example of this subgenre that comes to mind.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Its the same reason why disaster films were big back in the 90s. Essentially, some studio greenlights a "big" movie and then others try to make their own version, many times they try to rush it out the door to be the first. The undersea thing started when Cameron announced The Abyss. However, unlike the disaster film craze (Twister, Volcano, etc) the undersea movies all pretty much underperformed so it didn't last long.

[@ianpitkin6324]

Great Cecil!

[@paultapner2769]

I get the commodore 64 reference. Back in the 80's I had a Sinclair Spectrum. It's main rival. I don't know if that was the same internationally. There was a lot of rivalry/snobbery as the Spectrum was the cheaper but slightly more popular model, and Commodore owners would look down on Spectrum owners. I played Aliens. On the Spectrum. Can't remember what the opening was like though.

[@1kylecurry]

This "undersea adventure" is all over the place. It's as if they had several scripts & Roger Corman instructed them to take the best parts of each they're on a budget / time limited schedule. Anyway it's still slightly watchable, but only once.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

The Aliens game is broken into a series of smaller games. Its pretty interesting. Some of them are brutally difficult though. It was a really good licensed game, they made the most with the property and its stuck with me all these years.

[@velzekt]

​@@GoodBadFlicksYou inspired me to look it up and I should have known that the soundtrack was going to be incredible too for that era given how C64 musicians were so talented. Then landing on the LV-426 is practically a scene demo. So instead of one of just three getting the reference, now I'm the fourth.
