[#47]
The 47th worst film of all time is The Sinister Urge. Another horribly acted, slow moving flick from the haunted mind of Ed Wood! This 1960 gem is also responsible for using footage from Wood's unfinished film, Rock and Roll Hell, or Hellborn as it's called today.
Our short is called Keeping Clean and Neat, where two kids learns how to make their bodies clean and how to dress properly. Course we know personal hygiene now so this short is just fluff.
I'll tell you right off the bat that I'm not an Ed Wood fanboy. Although I know why he has a cult following (goofy props and sets i.e.), it's just that Wood's films have ridiculous plots, and the dialogue sometimes makes no sense. As our third and final Wood film (I wish the Brains did Glen or Glenda and Plan 9 from Outer Space), this is the funniest one of them all. Lots of greats riffs, including the quips during the pizza shop fight and car crash scenes made me laugh so hard, and the cranky women jokes were funny too ("Let's watch Ghost Dad again!"). The short is also a winner as Mike and the 'Bots pokes fun at the narrator and the hygiene riffs take the cake. Sadly, the host segments with Frank's bomb scheme are week with some giggles here and there. But, the riffing on our features is fantastic, another winner for season 6. A+moreless

ALLUSIONS (4)
ADD ALLUSIONS-
Gil Evans: The scene at the malt shop had a jazz soundtrack. Crow said, 'It's the Gil Evans malt shop.' Gil Evans was a prominent jazz musician, particulary in the '50's and '60's, best known for his work with Miles Davis.
-
TARDIS: At the beginning of the movie, the girl runs toward a phone booth. Mike then says, 'Quickly, into the TARDIS.' This refers to the transport used by Doctor Who. In all the various incarnations of the series, the Doctor uses this device, which looks like a London phone booth, to transport himself to various locations.
-
Tor: When Dirk said, 'Names are important,' Mike said, 'Names good. Tor like names.' Tor Johnson was the big bald-headed character actor in The Unearthly and later in The Beast of Yucca Flats.
-
Jet Jaguar: The first time Johnny goes to Gloria's house, Mike mentions the robot Jet Jaguar, from Godzilla vs. Megalon.
