Manos: The Hands of Fate with Audio Commentary

***The full commentary is available here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrUmgV1Pdho ***

I recorded this semi-comic audio commentary on Manos: The Hands of Fate a few months back in preparation for a future Special Edition DVD of the film. In the commentary, I develop ideas I first presented in an essay on my website (Lair of the Boyg) that Manos is a masterpiece of Marxist cinema. Along with this nonsense, I also drop a fact or two. This is only the first 28 minutes of the commentary, of course.

Imagine my surprise at finding this on your homepage. It's one of my favorite (bad) movies. :D

[Roubiere]

@BrianSmithNow Cheers! Yeah, it's a good (bad) one. It really is good in its own way. Now Monster a Go Go, on the other hand, is all bad.

[BrianSmithNow]

@Roubiere I don't think I've ever seen Monster A Go-Go. LOL. Ever see "The Incredibly Strange Creatures..." Torgo is matched by Ortega for weirdest character.

@BrianSmithNow See it? Heck yeah! I have the special edition DVD with Joe Bob Briggs's audio commentary AND the rarer Teenage Psycho Meets Bloody Mary cut on a VHS from the director's own Las Vegas video store. lol Ortega's fun, but he doesn't have the whimsical charm and overpowering sexuality Torgo has.

@Roubiere LOL. Who can forget Torgo's suave seduction of Maggie?
