The Ice Pirates

With three-and-a-half wipes from you and four wipes from me, sorry Rob H, but that comes out to 3.75 wipes for Kiss the Girls.

So with 3.75 wipes, that now ties us in the 409 spot with Labyrinth, Ladyhawke, Ice Pirates, Tango & Cash, Hawk the Slayer, and Vampire Hunter D.

A lot of...

Oh, well, both Vampire Hunter movies, that's great, but also a lot of fantasy in this slot, 409 slot.

I got a copy of this from Chris because he was selling this.

Ice Pirates.

I watched this so many dumb times.

All the time.

If it was like, oh, they didn't have this, well, let's see if Ice Pirates is in.

And I would rent it.

And I watched this, and again, I was like, I put off watching this.

You know, I'm just, it was another one of those movies.

In a sense.

But it's like they took the look of ice pirates and threw the actress that is...

Supergirl but they took all the fun parts of Ice Pirates out so it's just this dirty movie you have whatever her name is playing Supergirl but she's just in a trench coat and she's drunk and she's saving another girl from space rapists and Lobo shows up for two minutes and it's just Jason Momoa with like Ultimate Warrior face paint on and you're like what the fuck am I watching like you've wasted all this stuff And you can clearly tell that they're just trying to cash in quick.

Whatever, fuck them, I'm done.

So I've got, I don't want to take us too far off topic here, but I've got something very special for Show & Tell today.

We talked about Flash Gordon, which just ran out of money.

We talked about Ice Pirates, which got most of its money cut.

We talked about low-budget films.

We've talked about...

But this one is Tim and it is Muppet, which are two things that are very dear to my heart as well.

Yeah, so my favorite version of Treasure Island is Ice Pirates.

Ice

Pirates, Jesus.

Uh, okay.

Uh, Gamer Gramps for five, "Nothing like the theater with your buddies and your mom's ma- homemade moonshine to watch Ice Pirates."

Oh, that was the best.

Going at-

I mean, I like, uh, who's this, who's this director? Let's see.

Has he done anything I care about? Ma- oh, the guy made Mac and Me? Ice Pirates?

Great.

Great.

Alan writes to chastise us.

"I told myself I would stop asking about the Ice Pirates, but [laughs] I was listening to the Weird House Cinema Rewind episode about the movie Invitation to Hell." That was the made-for-TV movie about the country club that is actually hell.

Mm-hmm.

Where you go to hell.

Anyway, uh, Alan goes on to say, uh, uh, "Watched the movie Invitation to Hell.

I sat there stunned at first, then a little brokenhearted.

You discussed leading man Robert Urich at some length and didn't once mention the other great weird movie he starred in and that was released the same year, The Ice Pirates

PiratesAt this point, I may have already talked it up too much, but I would still love to hear an episode about it.

... or death, um, and de-

So he's a big Ice Pirates fan, you think?

Ice Pi- yes.

My dad loved, um, all of slashers, but where he draws a little bit of a line, because being Latino, is possession films.
