Sorry I haven’t been posting schedules on the blog for a while. I will endeavour to be a bit more organised and make sure to do this in future. This Friday’s broadcast will feature a festive edition of the music show. After the usual TV comedy block, I will be showing two Sylvester Stallone films:
Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot (1992)
In what might well be the worst thing ever shown on CaB TV, Sly teams up with Estelle Getty to deliver an absolute steaming turd of a film. How this sub-AIDS-tier howler ever found itself distributed to cinemas is one of life’s most compelling mysteries. I’ll show you a film you won’t believe! “It is moronic beyond comprehension, an exercise in desperation… Utterly lacking in even the smallest morsel of redeeming value.” – Roger Ebert
First Blood (1982)
Stallone stars as John Rambo in the first film of the bloated franchise. A decorated Vietnam veteran goes on a trip to find an old comrade, only to be hassled by the pigs in some stinking redneck backwater. The situation soon escalates into an epiphenominal imbroglio which pushes our PTSD-addled hero to the limit.
