Wild, Wild Women

Our slow-motion Film Crew fest continues with Film Crew: Wild Women of Wongo. For those of you tuning in late, the Film Crew is Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett from Mystery Science Theater 3000. They are no longer stuck in a satellite, and Kevin and Bill are no longer robots, but they still have to watch and comment on bad movies.

And Wild Women of Wongo more than qualifies. Set in the primitive tropical world of Coral Castle, FL, it posits a village, Wongo, where the men are beasts and the women beautiful. Goona, the neighboring village, has beautiful men and beasty women. Hilarity ensues. Or not. this should have been a fun caveman romp, with cute guys and girls in skimpy outfits. But the girls weren't that cute (all the salt air ruined a lot of perms), the go-go dancing and girl fights are perfunctory at best, and the comic relief is missing. Even the ugly women of Goona didn't have anything to do.

But the movie certainly provides rich material for commentary, and the boys do a great job. Good work, fellows!
