I was re-reading this thread because I am in constant awe and delight that someone made a thread about Freaked out of nowhere and it wasn't me and since the thread is hella tangenty anyway and I'm currently on a head full of  , I do want to bring back up Lister posted:The Dark Backward also comes to mind. EDIT: Goddamn, this is the first page snipe I wasn't embarrassed by. It's usually bullshit, but I stand by this. caligulamprey fucked around with this message at 23:15 on Jan 5, 2019 |

O.C. and Stiggs (despite coming out in 87) always gave me a similar "weird 90's vibe" and "how did this get greenlit?" that Freaked did. The whole thing is on youtube as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNMtbF-IHV4

"So many milkmen on one route. ... No wonder they fight." The deadpan delivery of this line as, (if I remember rightly), Randy Quaid is in his robe drinking his morning coffee, is magnificent.

There was a strange quality to mid-80s/mid-90s weird comedy movies and I'm not sure WHY that era produced so many. I think I noticed on Amazon Prime "Meet the Hollowheads" is available. It's a movie that I recall hearing chatter about over the years (along with an unrelated "Meet the Applegates") The descriptions of both feel like they'd be in the same camp as Freaked.

I'd actually re-up right now if it were available in HD, but it wasn't meant to be.

A lot of these things sound/feel like a live-action version of absurd fantasy cartoons, but made with an older teen/adult audience in mind. We could probably compiles a huge list of movies like this where even stuff like a bunch of Full Moon Pictures, Return of the Living Dead, The Mask and Buckaroo Banzai could fall into the mix. Then as the 90s wore on, that sort of things seems like it became more live-action cartoons for kids as Disney and full-on live-action cartoon remakes became a thing. I'm trying to imagine what the last few big movies of this style were. Maybe Idle Hands and Monkeybone? I'm not even sure I'd want to include something like the Scary Movie franchise in that mix, though. Despite their cartoonish nature, their status as parodies of specific, already R-rated movies, feels like they're something else entirely.

I've never heard of them so I don't know if they're generally good or bad, but YouTube helpfully told me that a channel call Cinemassacre just did a review of this and they seem to have loved it. Only one of the dudes had ever heard of it before. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLaciRj5yQE Hooray for a mini Freaked renaissance.

Got as far as Bill Paxton, you needn't have sold it any further, I'm going to make this a double feature with Never Too Young to Die that someone else recommended.

Wow, Film Threat, that's a thing I haven't thought about in years. Looking forward to reading that when I'm not on my phone.

That ‘First Look at The Fantastic Four!’ tag on the cover feels like it should belong on a fake magazine, looking back. My wife had Dr Pimple Popper on the tv the other day, and there was a guy who was a good 40% Ricky Coogan on it. Sequel possibilities warming up!

I just learned that Alex Winter based Ricky Coogan on Luke Perry (RIP):

Excellent post, was this something that you had stored away to scan or did you find it online?

Wicker Man posted:Excellent post, was this something that you had stored away to scan or did you find it online? Nope, those are mine. The article would probably be easier to read if I scanned it as a pdf. Perhaps I'll do that if remember to bring it with me to work one of these days.

Watched this a few weeks ago with a bud at this thread's suggestion. It was incredible. Thank you OP.
