Where to Watch Season 2000
25 Episodes
- Spaceballs (1987)E1
Spaceballs (1987)Joe Bob Briggs here, and what could be more appropriate on Martin Luther King's birthday than a Mel Brooks movie. The man who put the black sheriff in Blazing Saddles. Yes, we're continuing our "We love Mel Brooks, no matter how many toilet jokes he does" Festival, with this month's Mel Brooks flick, Spaceballs. And I admit it. I'm one of those guys who DOES laugh at doodie jokes. - Future Hunters (1986)E2
Future Hunters (1986)I'm Joe Bob Briggs, and tonight on "MonsterVision" we've got one of the finest futuristic post-holocaust kung-fu road movies with sledgehammer-carrying midgets ever filmed in the Philippines. Of course, who else could I be talking about than the legendary Cirio Santiago, director of some 500 Filipino movies, and the total combined budget of those films has STILL not topped the hundred-dollar mark. One of the wonders of modern civilization. - Planet of the Apes (1968)E3
Planet of the Apes (1968)Joe Bob Briggs brings you only the best, and tonight we have the film that spawned four sequels, two TV shows, a comic book, and an X-rated sadomasochistic CD-ROM starring Ron Jeremy and Marilyn Chambers. I'm speaking, of course, of "Planet of the Apes," which -- what? Ooooh, that was "Janet of the Apes," not to be confused with "Playmate Of The Apes." - Critters (1986)E5
Critters (1986)Joe Bob Briggs here, and tonight, the movie that answers the question "What's eating the American farmer?" Man-eating porcupine tumbleweeds with enormous teeth are about to escape from their outer-space prison and head to Grovers Bend, Kansas, to munch on the population. I'm talking about, of course, Critters, with the best inter-galactic monsters since Zsa Zsa Gabor starred in "Queen of Outer Space" -- and they wear a lot less make-up. - Breeders (1997)E6
Breeders (1997)Remember a while ago when we showed Grim? A buncha yuppies go underground and get chased by a pizza-faced monster? Well, from the people who brought you Grim -- yes, they lived to make another movie -- Breeders. A buncha people go underground -- this time under a girl's college -- and get chased by ANOTHER monster. - Project: Metalbeast (1995)E7
Project: Metalbeast (1995)Kim is in the middle of her experiments with synthetic tin-foil skin when Barry Bostwick gives her a cadaver to experiment on -- a cadaver with werewolf blood in it, brought in specially from Hungary by the CIA for the use of creating superior combat agents. - Voodoo (1995)E12
Voodoo (1995)We've always suspected that college fraternities were devil-worshipping cults but this film proves it. Corey Feldman wants to be frat boy in the worst way but first he has to go through the initiation process and it involves a live human sacrifice, namely his girlfriend. - The Stepfather (1987)E13
The Stepfather (1987)Psycho Daddy Night: I remember when this movie came out, 1987, there was a poster that had very little on it except the words "The Stepfather," and somehow that was scary -- you know why? Because daddies, in the eighties were TERRIFYING. So stepdaddies were all the MORE terrifying. Bad decade for fathers. - Beetlejuice (1988)E17
Beetlejuice (1988)If you think about it, Beetlejuice could have been made just for MonsterVision. A pleasantly warped story told with an inspired sense of the bizarre and packed with enough jokes-a-minute that it's just as funny the twelfth time you see it as the first; what more could you want? Toss in a cast that's rarely been better -- Michael Keaton running amok, Winona Ryder's breakthrough role -- and we're sure you'll cancel any other Saturday night plans. - Within the Rock (1996)E22
Within the Rock (1996)Yes, it's time for yet ANOTHER Alien rip-off here on "MonsterVision." How many of these have we had? Sixty-seven? I'm Joe Bob Briggs, and tonight, an outer space mining crew accidentally releases a man-eating beast in "Within the Rock." Giving new meaning to the word "Whoops!" - Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice (1992)E25
Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice (1992)Tonight's MonsterVision flick, Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice, answers the age-old question, "What happens when a Goth Nebraska teenager with an attitude wills a bloody nose on a pesky priest?"
