Vidioten Ratings & Reviews
- Baloo Uriza23 mars 2025Weird Al decided he pretty much nailed it the first time with this inspiration for Intergalactic Cable.
- Richard20 oktober 2025Rented this one on video, back when cover art promised chaos and Weird Al delivered. Al plays George Newman, an unemployed dreamer who stumbles into managing a failing UHF station. What follows is a glorious descent into parody, low budget brilliance and channel surfing madness. The station becomes a hit thanks to offbeat programming: “Wheel of Fish,” “Raul’s Wild Kingdom,” and Stanley Spadowski’s mop fueled rise to stardom. Michael Richards is unhinged and hilarious and Kevin McCarthy chews scenery as the corporate villain. The film is packed with movie spoofs, surreal gags and the kind of humor that feels like it was written by someone raised on Twinkies and late-night TV. I liked the DIY spirit, the absurdity and the way it made rented nights feel like a cult comedy treasure hunt, with mop speeches, Rambo riffs and a finale that’s pure underdog joy.
- Adam Aragon22 september 2025The single greatest film of all time
- Richard Thornton20 augusti 2025Minus half a star because that guy said the n word.
- Jesse Newton18 augusti 2025Extremely campy with pretty bad acting but still hilarious. And old guilty pleasure that I enjoy every time I see it.
- Miakoda1 februari 2025I <3 Weird Al!
