I’m not sure what to do for this week’s Showcase, so I’m using Mystery Science Theater 3000 to have something to post. You can’t go wrong with Mike and the Bots.
Village Of The Giants is a 1965 movie that will have you wondering if Ron Howard and Beau Bridges really needed the work that badly. Howard plays a child genius that only gets called “Genius”, so I’m assuming that’s what his parents named him. His parents are out of town, so his big sister brings her boyfriend over to fool around. Meanwhile, Genius is fooling around with chemicals as Howard pretends he knows what he’s talking about (mostly because the writers don’t know what they’re talking about). While doing so he somehow creates a “goo” that looks like someone overdid it making their milkshake, but causes anything that eats to grow. This could solve food shortages…if it wasn’t for the teenage delinquents (because 1960s) who use it to go on a rampage in the city. With questionable effects, you’ll be more invested in the MST3K subplot as Dr. Forrester fires TV’s Frank. Either way, enjoy…won’t you?
