My Boyfriend's Back - Good Bad Flicks

[@purika8324]

Even with just the few clips of the movie, you can immediately tell that this movie has a certain charm.

[@Jackie-McCann]

6:41 "Whoa, is this _Texas?_ Oh my God, it is!" I don't know why but that line leaves me giggling every time! 🤣

[@QuiteContrary]

No joke, I am in this movie. I am an extra in the birthday scene at the beginning. I didn't know anyone actually watched this movie.

[@24cptjohnson]

Haha awesome!

[@mizzmoniker8016]

I LOVE this movie! Always did, always will!

[@MamaMOB]

I loved this movie in my early teens. It's fun and entertaining. Good for you!!!

[@rashadpreston7389]

I love this movie

[@angrypotato8782]

This movie is awesome - diamond in the rough

[@cbas6917]

Who needs IMDB when you have GoodBadFlicks?

[@PictureProductStudio]

As a fan of both and an avid contributor to IMDb I should say that compliment each other greatly.

[@Dendarang]

I love this movie. It's such a quirky, charming and just downright fun movie.

[@Tehstroyer]

"Wow, is this Texas? Oh my God, it is!" Amazing.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

That was totally genuine. When I wrote the joke I was stunned to see it actually was filmed in TX. Gave me a good laugh.

[@jackleface2903]

that was my favorite scene of the whole video

[@claytoncondo3460]

GoodBadFlicks Can you do a review on Jupiters ascending in the future or not just curious.

[@ragnarokstravius2074]

When there is at least enough guns to arm the entire cast, two times over, it's Texas.

[@Bl4ckD0g]

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who remembers and likes this movie.

[@NotebookMovies]

I was SOOOO excited to see you did this flick! I too love this movie for years and have been telling people about it for years!

[@ButcherSevenActual]

I totally forgot about this one. Missy was freekin hot.

[@GiDD504]

Holy crap!!! My mom owned a video rental store and I would spend all my time looking through all the movies and this cover always stood out to me!! I never saw it since I wasn’t allowed at the time and I forgot about it until now. Man I miss the days of rewinding returns and staring at horror movie covers!

[@richmackin]

"I am the walking dude" cracked me up.

[@TheAutistWhisperer]

2:01 Holy crap is Phillip Seymour Hoffman! I bloody miss him and nice Dellamorte joke, I love that film. 3:39 Matthew Fox is in this!? Wow, its amazing when you look back at a film and you see actors before they made it big. 3:48 Matthew McConaughey....Is every actor I know in this film!?

[@DragonMaiden77]

Dude thank you!!!! I remember seeing this movie when I was a kid. I was really little and I only saw about thirty minutes of it before my parents turned it off. All my life I've been trying to find this movie again but I forgot the title, and every zombie movie I was hoping would be this one. Thank you so much!

[@iosoul]

The mom was flat out HILARIOUS! The tone of this movie is so underrated. Absolute classic!!

[@bbuchmeier]

My family bought this on VHS at the grocery store even though none of us had seen it and we all enjoyed it. The story/premise still sounds interesting today.

[@nadiaaugustine9798]

if I remember, this movie came and went really fast theatrically. I think I saw maybe one trailer on TV for it. I didn't catch this one until it hit cable a couple years later. It's one on my list of Cult Classics that's guaranteed not everyone in the room has seen.

[@Wendy90059]

One of my ALL TIME FAVE movies !🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@SeptienPatterson]

Phillip Seymour Hoffman???!!!

[@GG-ou7it]

and matthew mcconaughey love seeing young celebs in these obscure films, love the channel for it.

[@johnrife7134]

Cloris Leechman??!?

[@SeptienPatterson]

John Rife I screwed the pooch on her name I knew it...

[@johnjuiceshipper4963]

John Rife Psycho Mantis?

[@leetri]

+The Juice You're that ninja.

[@SimplyMasonZero]

I saw this movie once or twice as a kid, but never remembered the name for years. Haven't seen or heard about this movie for years. Thanks.

[@joshuamorton88]

Edward Herman did play Herman Munster in a Munsters movie

[@MrUseless247]

I still haven't seen this movie but I still remember seeing the trailers on tv when I was a kid.

[@gehriggrosso3466]

I loved these movie as a kid!!!

[@thancrus]

i havent seen that movie since sometime in the late 90s... I had forgotten just how beautiful Traci Lind is

[@brandonpage7087]

I LOVE this movie!!! It reminds me of my childhood, cause this was always playing on HBO, Cinemax, etc., back when I was a kid, & I watched it constantly. I would fantasize that I was Johnny, & this girl that I was crushing on at the time, was Missy. Lol, anyways, it is so insane to learn that this was filmed in Texas, as I live in Texas, & I have an uncle that lives in Round Rock. I think the 50s style neighborhood in the film, was done on purpose, & gives the film this weird, but awesome surrealism. Oh, I own Class of 1999 & Parents, & think both films are awesome. Oh, I also appreciate the Clarrisa Explains it All reference you snuck in there, lol.

[@KageMaxwell]

That whole family is one big cluster Chuck! I'll show myself out.

[@sadpacman3290]

I love this movie too! I think it's got a weird mix of intentional camp, straight-faced delivery, and satire that makes most people just not get it. Especially because there weren't any really good horror comedies that had become hits like Shaun of the Dead yet, so people had trouble with it. Or they saw the title and the poster thought it just looked dumb.

[@Ramjambler]

I'm really glad you covered this movie, I watched this all the time growing up.

[@Lezeppobishopslog]

DUDE!!! This movie ripped me in half as a kid!! I had the dirtiest friggin' crush on Missy Mcloud...soooo happy your doing this review...& shoutouts to the late Phillip Seymour Hoffman

[@JennaLeigh]

4:22 --- well done, sir. Bravo!!

[@chaoskitten57]

I will always love how much care and research you put into every video

[@GoodBadFlicks]

I appreciate that it is appreciated. :)

[@chaoskitten57]

of course :D

[@Mast3rMind]

This was one of my most favorite movies as a kid.

[@blackhatfreak]

Blu-ray version is out Oct 8 2019

[@Moonbeam143]

I remember back when this movie came out, they had the trailers playing on TV, they did have the "My Boyfriend's Back" song playing. So, at least it's in the trailer. Also, I feel old now.

[@shethatisnau]

I LOVE this movie, it's one of my top 5 and the humor in it definitely influenced who i am today. watching this i realized how many themes from this movie made it into the graphic novel i'm working on. watching this flick as a kid definitely did something to my brain chemistry

[@cactoidpinata]

I just rewatched this last October. Great info as always!

[@johnjamesleahy4065]

i used to get johnny dingle mixed up with the actor from that thing you do and werewolf in paris

[@johnjamesleahy4065]

there were sooo many people in this movie that went on to be pretty famous

[@jamespfp]

3:45 -- Funny stuff, and the thing I had entirely forgotten about this film is that the director is Bob Balaban. This crosses it over into true Weirdsville in the Meta, since one of Balaban's best early roles is Orr, in "Catch-22". Looks like he really did know how to survive...

[@jamespfp]

Ie. Cue Alan Arkin... "He made it?!??! HE MADE IT!!!"

[@nicolascuenca254]

man, i remember this movie from when I used to live in Puerto Rico as a kid. Our Vhs rental place was in a supermarket and I think I rented this movie like 5 times. I'm glad it doesn't look unwatchable and, holy crap, Phillip Seymour Hoffman!

[@anthoney1598]

Now that's a solid Anthrax reference if I've ever seen one

[@alexthelizardking]

Watched this a long time ago but never got the title. Thanks for the memories.

[@c-secofficer123]

Omg I remember watching this at my buddies house on VHS when I was in grade 8...

[@slabella9413]

"Im the walking dude" how many people actually get those references :)

[@wayoftheredpanda2898]

I love The Stand, favorite novel of all time. Never saw the miniseries, though

[@zeusdarkgod7727]

Mayhap i do and mayhap i don't.

[@Hewylewis]

Funny enough, Edward Herman WOULD play Herman Munster in the 1995 TV movie, Here Come the Munsters!

[@StruggaBugga]

Classic movie, always remembered watching this on sunday afternoons on comedy central.

[@steveramey5639]

I absolutely love this movie. It's so cheesy but in a good way.

[@faychel8383]

I grew up loving this one thanks for the reminder 👍

[@franciscoventura9639]

I try to find all these old movies you explore and summarize. You make them sound so good. I just gotta give them a chance like how you suggested.

[@6thsavage]

Love the vids!. Particularly because you do a lot of reviews for flicks i don't think I know from the 80's/90's. Then throughout I realize I watched most of these as a kid. Fun nostalgia!

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Thanks!

[@JoeDredd2012]

1:52 ROFL! Wonderful job Cecil I've herd of the film maybe a few clips of it over the years on tv but never got to see the whole film from what it sounds like a episode of ''Amazing Stories'' or ''Tales from the Darkside''or''Monsters'' that got turned into a actual film so I'll give it a shot?

[@josephsawyer3982]

The movie parents you mentioned really tripped me out as a kid. And I'm a big fan of this movie

[@josedaniloAvSv]

Bob Balaban directed this ...as in (a mighty wind/best in show. ) this movie is full of surprises . really enjoy your work (here and on the podcast)thank you.

[@thepoliticalstartrek]

This movie and Bury the Ex are two of my favorites.

[@tylerskiss]

Bob Balaban? He lives very close to me (I'm sure it is one of many houses). Very nice guy. I knew he was an actor- I mean, he's been in several Spielberg films, so how could you not know that? But I did not know he had done any feature film directing.

[@89Animeknight2nd]

I heard that the theme of the movie is that of being standard teen film tropes. Such as Johnny's craving to eat his date is a metaphor for teenage sexual activity, and his fear of decomposition is teenage anxiety over acne. As a zombie, Dingle is discriminated against and ostracized, which is meant to show zombies as outsiders

[@231mac]

So deeeeeeep....

[@Bloxgator]

Glad to see this here. Man, Traci Lind was so hot.

[@ateup8201]

Ok but the Clarissa Explains It All window chime! 👏👏👏

[@ultimomoviechannel7950]

Have always loved this movie too! Your channel rocks..hope you never run out of good bad flicks to do videos on!

[@GuruJudge21]

I looked up that song 'My Boyfriend's Back', I unintentionally started playing it when Johnny started to explain that he ate Chuck for her and I thought you did it ... you should redo this video like that.

[@TaKevinT]

Man, I love your vids, it's like watching the movie without watching the movies

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Thanks!

[@ctmdarkonestm]

YES! I remember seeing this in the theater way back when

[@mikecrown600]

Any video that has an Anthrax reference is great in my book!!

[@80sHorrorCentral]

Haha nice job with that "Hardcore" clip! And that sling blade joke was spot on! Good video

[@Jonashall1]

Holy shit! The cast is amazing!!!

[@BackToBasics90s]

Matthew McConaghey, Phillip Seymour Hoffman AND Matthew Fox? Zombies? How have I never heard of this movie before? Great video man.

[@Jellyforge]

Ha I had no idea this was filmed in my hometown

[@johnst3296]

Aww you reminded me of Parents!!! We need an exploring on that classic...

[@nicholascirilo8221]

Cool review you made this film is one of my favorite zombie comedy film next to Zombieland.

[@bigbadballernr1]

Stellar work, Cecil!

[@princeofcupspoc9073]

I love it when the parents try to help out their monster kid, like in Ginger Snaps.

[@hibuddywazsup5008]

How about exploring Remo Williams? That movie deserved sequels and was really cool. Especially the fight on the Statue of Liberty.

[@OutlawsBebop]

omfg I saw this movie SO MANY times when I was a kid. Thank you! I never knew the name of this movie.

[@ShyTentacle]

About 3 Chucks. My grandfather's name was Grigoriy. He had 5 kids - 3 daughters and 2 sons. Guess how he named his boys? That's right. Grigorys. BOTH of them. So, yeah, that kinda happens, haha :D

[@angelocarr3698]

I remember this flick. Great Film, Lots of Fun...

[@drwinlied]

oh my glob, I LOVE the movie, Parents. Some absolutely great stuff in there that isn't comical in the least. what a great little tidbit that was.

[@RobHeathers]

I admit I forgot about this movie, but I remember it being much better than most teen movies. It was like the movie version of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but good.

[@eff-dupstuff2949]

that comic book artwork in the beginning is definitely from the late great Neal Adams , who changed how comics looked and ere written with his lifelike portrayals and differently styled layouts....Neal was awesome

[@Crowvamp1979]

I saw this in the theater! I remember being a little disappointed that it wasn't the movie that the trailers sold me, but that I had a good time anyway. It was just weird enough that I liked it.

[@guyvizard549]

The guy who plays Murray (Bob Dishy) also plays another character named Murray in "Stay Tuned."

[@animeknight8958]

when i saw this as a kid, the scene where Johnny started to die again and told Missy he loves her made me cry..... Also a bit of fun fact: When Johnny encountered St. Peter who yelled at him for coming back to life and died a second time, the actor who played him also voiced "The Invisible Man" from the pilot episode of "Monsters in my Pocket"

[@Cybolic]

This is one VHS tape I miss; I never did find it again on DVD.

[@nerminkarabegovic1888]

First time watching the movie and I gotta say I loved every minute of movie. Thanks

[@kalaherty]

It really did have a "Parents" feel... it was a really fun movie. But I only heard of this film because of this channel... I paused pretty early in because I just wanted to go enjoy the film. I returned to watch the rest of what you had to say and though I'm thankful that you sort-of recommended a film, that I really enjoyed, I think that you give away too much of the plot without dissecting what makes it worth while. I highly recommend rethinking your format. Thanks for the movie recommendation though :D

[@Johny40Se7en]

This looks alright, I'll give it a watch. I love these videos you do, it's not just about big well known films =P

[@csandreas]

This is one of my favorite movies ever!

[@georgelopez180]

well researched as always! love your videos.

[@SabrinaRina]

I love this movie! Probably my first black comedy and I've been a fan since. Campy a little more straight played, I laugh at the darkness of life.

[@danshull1331]

2:35 What?! the gravestone dosent' show the dates when he was born and died?

[@bartrazin]

Bob¨Close Encounters¨Balaban? Nice video Cecil!!!

[@ittdust]

Rented this on VHS back in the 90's as it was released. Always loved this movie, but no one has heard of it.

[@justinbeck2899]

I remember when this movie came out in the theaters, I skipped it to see Jurassic Park. Watched it on TV years later and really dug it.

[@marcosrecio4062]

Great work as always, keep it up!

[@roachqueen1973]

That was a very young thin Phillip Seymour Hoffman as Chuck Jr.

[@SeaTac411]

4:21 Dear God that made me feel old.

[@robinr6744]

This film looks brilliant, definitely one to check out 👍

[@jonathanschulz4823]

Love this film!

[@snoo333]

good movie. also enjoy watching movies with your narration. thank you for all you vids

[@markstevens9249]

Interesting how you mention Edward Hermann was Herman Munster out of makeup because eventually HE WAS! About ten years after this he starred in an unsold pilot movie for a Munster's revival as Herman, and the actor who played Murray the groundskeeper played Grandpa! At one point in the movie there is a sort of reunion, when Hermann's Herman has a job as a waiter at a restaurant and the 4 surviving original Munsters at the time, are in character but out of makeup as his customers.

[@steelgunsuit]

my mom loved this movie, my family watched it all the time

[@DougUnfunny]

this used come on cinemax a lot back in the day. totally forgot this.
