  • ThatGuyWithTheAccent89  - Exelente Review

    I could be the first to comment, but no, I Rather See The Video First!! anyway, gracias Dudette, y por cierto tus ediciones son simplemente geniales. :cheer:

  • Richard Wesker

    You know, I'm probably going to get slammed for saying this, but that Troll 2 clip at 4:29 got me thinking that there really are worse films than Troll 2 in existence. Xanadu is one of them. At least Troll 2, in all its flamboyant badness, is campy fun.

    Anywho, good video as always!

  • BadEnglishGuy  - Worse movies

    If you fought troll 2 was the worst until now, you've never visited thecinemasnob,com ;)

    hey,does anyone here miss that dude in the suede

    Um...your new friend....

  • PizzaBox

    This is simply amazing. I had to register just to comment. I have very fond memories of this movie's horribleness. I saw it as a midnight movie with my friend about two years ago, and it was a gateway to tons of future midnight movies (including Rocky Horror Picture Show). I dont think Ive ever laughed that hard since.

    Two. Thumbs. Up.

  • TheDramaticMonarch

    Hey now, Lindsay, "Rocky Horror Picture Show" was a musical that had aliens (from the planet Transexual Transylvania no less ;)).

    With that little nitpick out of the way, your Zeus voice is hilarious. I'm definitely curious to see what that next review entails. Probably to do with aliens and robots...and destruction. ;) :P

  • Demon

    Ah, but it was a 70's musical with aliens.

  • Exorph

    Actually, it's the planet Transexual in the galaxy of Transylvania. ;)

  • TheDramaticMonarch

    Now that sounds a little more accurate! Thanks for the correction!

    Late nights can do strange things to the brain's judgement. :P

  • orwellianson

    :X Another fabulous funny jab at all things nostalgic... thanks Nostalgia Chick (Lindsay) This was hilarious as always. :)

  • videogamesizzle

    aother very nice review!

  • DanManX

    I was gonna point out the Rocky Horror thing, but Monarch beat me to it (darn you!) and with the line at the end "Next...rebellion! And robots and aliens!" I have to wonder if maybe you've found an example anyway, Rocky Horror or otherwise. What have you got up your slee-

  • xmrgrim13x

    look i own the soundtrack and i am proud to say that...........well i like it we will leave it at that

  • Manic Monkey

    Magic is a pretty good song. :)

  • TheBlackMage

    I actually did my own version of the script. It was a lot funnier, contained a lot more filthy language, had no musical numbers and made a LOT more sense... but it probably would have ended up being 30 minutes in length. In my version of the script Sonny realizes he's not actually in love with one of the daughters of the greek God Zeus, he's actually just on drugs.

  • mc3s

    Awesome video as always. However, ELO has and always will suck. Soft pansy rock devoid of anything that makes music great. Gene Kelly kicks ass though.

    Now that I have that out of my system, I watched this movie as a kid. I wish I could say I hated it but........ It was one of those things where I thought all the cool older kids liked it so I should like it too.

  • Deimos1984rd  - What a trippy movie

    Since when did Olympus look like TRON?

  • BlueGoldBizarros

    I would hate to see want Asgard would have looked like in this movie! :X

  • Hisui

    Woahmahgawd.
    I'm SO glad that this movie has never been aired in Germany (or I at least never noticed it airing), because it's just so ... so ... so XANADU!
    Thank you for warning me, Nostalgia Chick. Thank you so much.

  • JimmyLick  - Musical With Aliens

    Little Shop of Horrors was a musical with aliens. (Yes, Audrey II was an alien.)

  • Floweramon

    Awesome review Miss Lindsay! Odd looking movie, though the stage show seems interesting. Sad about the lack of aliens though, even the title sounds like there should be aliens or something sci-fi related.

    You certainly weren't a gentleman on the chat Dan... :P jk

    Creepy fanboy behavior aside, can't wait for your next review NChick!

  • Chosen Zelos

    I know Xanadu's a Rush song and .... that's it. And from the look of this movie, I can say I wasn't missing much.

    Nice review.

  • Coldguy

    80s...and robots....and aliens....!

    THE LAST STARFIGHTER!

  • A Knothole Resident

    What were you alluding to at the end of the video there? Looking all coy ;)

  • masterem243  - Great new Review!

    I'm really liking the occasional NYC Live shots you do!

  • Erinaceus  - This Thing WAS A Last-Ditch Attempt Alright...

    This wasn't just a last ditch attempt to save roller skates, discos and Olivia Newton-John's career... I think it was just the last gasp of the 1970s in general. Every decade has this awkward transition period from the previous decade that ends when some benchmark event occurs. The '90s were killed by the 2000 election, the '80s were killed by "Smells like Teen Spirit"... etc.

    But the 1970s? This stilted play spelled its end. Good review N.C.

    Next... rebellion, and robots and aliens!

    What could it be? I have a pretty good guess, but with bated breath, I shall be waiting anyway.

  • m121akuma

    "Next...rebellion! With robots and aliens"

    Rebellion? Robots? Aliens? The 80's? Is this adding up to what I think it's adding up to? Or are you totally tossing us a red herring here?

  • Lew the Sweater Guy

    Wow. I've heard this movie was one big fustercluck, but wow!

    Oh well...ELO still flippin' rawks! :D

  • leviathan-ley

    Wonderful job and of things I was expecting from this movie Greek gods was not one of them.
