Perhaps you've heard of a fellow by the name of K. Gordon Murray who brought you a little cinematic gem called Santa Claus (and also 'Robot vs. The Aztec Mummy' and the three shorts that make up 'Santa's Village of Madness')?
Well, Puss in Boots is another batsh*t insane childrens' movie he imported from Mexico, recut and redubbed by Murray with random musical numbers filmed at Pirate's World or wherever the Santa's Village stuff was shot tacked on to pad the runtime. This is easily the craziest thing he's imported next to Santa Claus vs. The Devil. Just take a look at the trailer, I'll wait...

Unfortunately, while the original uncut versions of these films Murray imported from Mexico and Germany are pretty easy to come by, the American dubbed versions are extremely rare because the IRS seized all his pictures due to tax evasion and he died of a heart attack before he and his family could sue to get them back. I don't actually know how that works in terms of copyright, but I believe since Santa Claus ended up in the public domain, his other films probably are too.

The original prints of Murray's films are effectively gone, and the company that held the 16mm versions that were used to release a few of his pictures on VHS during the mid 90's (round about the time MST3K picked up Santa Claus) went bankrupt in the early 2000's and liquidated their entire inventory to the public.

Very rarely, a transfer from one of these 16mm prints shows up and I actually happen to have a copies of two of them. The Golden Goose (1969) and Puss In Boots (1961). The Golden Goose has already been posted to archive.org (https://archive.org/details/the-golden-goose-1969), but my copy of Puss In Boots has some extremely bizarre audio issues that I want to attempt to clean up prior to posting.
If I do manage to get it fixed or if you find a better copy through other sources, it's well worth riffing.

A Disney embarrassment and Home Alone rip-off (one of many) that should've been left in the vault rather than shown to the public eye. Preston, a little boy, lives in a world where money is the only means to find happiness. The kids at school make fun of him for being poor, his dad gives him a measly allowance, and his brother's teasing is ruthless (his brother who's starting his own business, yet has no idea how to use a computer!). After a criminal runs over his bike and gives him a blank check to cover the costs, he cashes it for a million dollars and goes bananas. Oh, and did I mention there's a kiss shared between a child and a grown woman in her twenties? ...Oh yes. Disney went there. This deserves a riff.

House Shark is an insane horror comedy. I did not know that this goofy masterpiece existed. I was shocked in my research to see that the film won an award for best horror comedy at the nightmare film festival in Columbus,OH. My description of the awful acting, terrible jokes, bad effects and last but certainly not least, Darth Squanto wouldn't do it justice. It's simply a film you have to see to believe. Even if you don't end up riffing it I at least hope you give it a view. You can watch it on Prime and Tubi. Hope you guys see it.

Three good reasons? Oh, there are so many, but I'll try to narrow it down to three.

1. Hugh Grant and Malcolm McDowell starred in it. Hugh Grant has called it the worst movie he ever made. Malcolm McDowell doesn't talk about it at all.




2. The plot is so convoluted that I'm not even sure I'm summarizing this correctly, but as I recall, Hugh Grant gets on a train to get his book about neo-Nazis to a publisher. He falls in love with a woman on the train who made a deal with the devil to become an actress, but forgot to ask the devil for talent, so she has to make a second deal. The devil boards the train, along with his cadre of (you guessed it) neo-Nazis, to terrorize the passengers and maybe to try to stop Hugh Grant from publishing his book? Unclear. Either way, he uses his devil powers on Hugh to give him amnesia, but honestly it doesn't seem to affect him much.




3. Supporting characters include Nazis, a nameless old woman (played by an actress who starred in several Nazi Germany propaganda films), a famous singer who can only sing nonsense syllables, and did I mention Malcolm McDowell's devil?

(Bonus 4. The trailer uses O Fortuna throughout. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPa_caxM69k)

Ultraman II is the english dubbed version of Ultraman Joenius, AKA, The Ultraman. A movie was made of the first few episodes. As in most classic Ultraman shows, there is this special Earth Defense Squad, and Harris, the hot shot pilot bonds with the superhero Ultraman and they fight monsters. It's cheesy, it's fun, it's directed (and voiced) by Tom Wyner, who directed Attack of the Super Monsters, and voiced the narrator. It's like Attack of the Super Monsters, sans the cheesy dinosaur kaiju. It would be fantastic to riff, and this year, with COVID-19 running rampant, people are now getting a chance to see tokusatsu superhero shows now more than ever. And with Ultraman becoming popular with it's blu-rays, Marvel comic books, and Netflix anime, it would be a great addition to the Rifftrax library.
