I don’t want to remember Jerry Orbach this way.

LOL, trying to explain Tivo to June is worth the price of admission alone.

To me by far the worst part of this movie is that Gnorm was voiced by Rob Paulsen aka Yakko Warner aka Raphael aka Donatello in the newer cartoon aka Pinky aka a million voices of my childhood! I did not need to hear him talking about about nice asses.

I'm sorry, I could not get into this movie at all. I found it simultaneously boring and repulsive. I usually can find something to enjoy in anything, but this just wasn't much fun at all.

Don't forget the meat hook to the perineum! Is the coup de grace on Jerry Orbach's junk a bite or a punch? Considering the speed and force Gnorm can tunnel through concrete with those rock gloves, it's either the former or he was showing remarkable restraint — Gnorm could have straight-up Bone-Tomahawked him if he wanted.

Paul, June, and Jason discuss the 1990 fantasy buddy comedy A Gnome Named Gnorm. They talk about Anthony Michael Hall’s odd detective character, Gnorm the gnome being at the wrong place at the wrong time, Jerry Orbach roughing up Gnorm, and much more. Plus, everyone dives into an important conversation about laserdiscs.

I 100% agree with Jason the joke about commandeering the hearse was very funny. It got me thinking that we need some kind of Hollywood Joke Clearinghouse where they can gather up the truly great jokes from otherwise bad or just unseen movies and give them to new movies in the future. Once of my favorite little things in the movie was early on when Zadar was whisper dictating to Reggie who was on the phone with the cops each line Zadar said got quieter until at the end he just mouthed "have a nice day" without vocalizing at all. It was such a weird and funny choice. Anthony Michael Hall's car had a custom license plate that said OYNK. Is that his way of joking about being a cop?

Are we not going to talk about this creature and it's main form of attack which is biting people's genitals?! It has giant long arms perfect for hitting but Gnrom seems to relish jumping up and biting people's junk. I was lying down for this motion picture and each dick chomp made me wish I could lie down harder I felt so unwell. Is this why he has unsettling human teeth? Is this a Gnorm thing or is this a fighting technique of his people? Perhaps a fight or flight response? All I know is I never want to see a gnome go for someone's crotch again.

There's an Enchanted sequel in the works. https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/14/entertainment/patrick-dempsey-enchanted-sequel-disenchanted/index.html

I looked him up and Joe Spinnell is Willi Cicci in the first two Godfather movies. He would have been in the third movie but he passed away the year before filming started.

Here's the deleted scene

UHF is great. Their appearance... is literally doing the exact same thing. It's an example of how weird the show they are watching is within the movie.

One thing that drives me crazy about this type of “fish-out-of-water” movie is when the character does things that are so beyond stupid that they can’t be explained by cultural differences. I mean Gnorm is a relatively intelligent creature, right, with (at-least) bi-lingual language skills and the obvious ability to use tools, clothing, etc. So there is absolutely a 0% chance that Gnorm would try to shoot someone with the broad-side of a gun. Aside form the fact that he certainly understands the concept of pointing at something, and he has seen numerous people fire guns already, it is prohibitively difficult to grab the handle of a gun sideways and pull the trigger in this manner without being purposeful in your idiocy. Similarly. there is a scene where a speeding car is barreling directly down on Gnorm and he just stares at it as if to say, “Well, I don’t know what that things is, so let me stand here and find out.” How is this explainable? Are we to believe that In “Down-World” there is no concept of one thing smashing into another thing?

I made a compilation of Gnorm's assaults, because yeah!

The still of Gnorm in the tubi preview was enough to really turn me off the movie. It grossed me out. I appreciate how well made and acted Gnorm was by the puppeteers but Gnorm was was too much. Very Mac and Me kind of nauseated. I agree with everything they said with the actors; they really were great.

I'd have to say this falls somewhere between the self aware intentional bad movie ala Velocipastor and the clueless choices made in Governor Gabbi. At one point it was available to buy on Amazon for $1 million, but now it is free with Amazon Prime.

welcome to comedy bang bang I am your host Scott Aukerman.. AWAAAAHHH geez thank you to SegaShines for that submission. Sega Shines.

Update. I found out the surviving Kipper Kid (the other passed away in 2018), Martin Rochus Sebastian von Haselberg, has been married to Bette Midler since 1984!

Time for my comments. I found this movie several years ago. I did a blanket search across several sites to find movie musicals to pick. The description for this one sounded interesting, especially as an Oingo Boingo origin piece. When I saw it I had much the same reaction as @Cameron H. did. It was disgusting, tasteless, yet interesting. I honestly thought I might be kicked out of the group for picking this but I had to share the misery. There are a lot of odd things but I have watched it many times since. It is now wearing off and will become a once-in-a-while watch. If people want to see it for free please let me know. I'm willing to Kast tonight or tomorrow night. Random thoughts: The Witch's Egg song the queen sings is bonkers. She talks about her dad and her search for love. Yet she's been in the Sixth Dimension (SD) for 1,000 years! Is this like Narnia where time is different? Susan Tyrrell (the Queen) wrote the Witch's Egg song. The ex-queen (Andy Warhol star Viva) calls the new queen "silicone-uddered". When did the new queen get the implants? It must have been 1,000 years ago in the SD before the ex-queen was sent to jail. Once again the time frame is odd. The jail the ex-queen is in seems awfully flimsy and no ceiling. Couldn't she have climbed out by now? The king has an autographed picture of Frenchy but how did he get it? By that I mean she's dressed differently in the picture than she is in the movie. One could argue that she's wearing the black outfit under her robe. I've seen the making-of featurette. One of the outtakes is the new queen ripping open Frenchy's robe and sucking on her bare breast in an attempt to abuse Frenchy. So the black outfit appears and disappears. I like the human chandelier but he seems to have quite the boner when he's turned into a skeleton. Also, does that mean the king and queen were making love so long that the chandelier eventually became a skeleton? I can't stand the Kipper Kids in any of their appearances. They just do the same thing over and over, while wearing jockstraps or boxing shorts. They are also the kids in the school with their noses pulled back via a rubber band. I found out they have an appearance in the movie UHF but I don't know what it is. YouTube has some outtakes of theirs that didn't make it into the movie. The Yiddishe Charleston (and everything Yiddish in this movie) is so bad the queen killed the singer! (I think that was the director singing it but am not sure. The red hair gives him away.) Everyone in this movie was committed. Most kicked their checks back into the production. Herve Villechaize came over on weekends and helped paint sets. He was an accomplished painter in real life. The picture he's painting in the movie isn't his but he was a good painter. Herve was in this because of Susan Tyrrell (the Queen and the bartender in Rockula). They had dated previously IRL but no longer were. However she got him to play the king and you saw their lovemaking and chemistry. Squeezit Henderson is a big fat snitch! Squeezit is shown to only be 11 years old in that memory where his mom calls him Chicken Boy. (Joe Spinnell is the drunken sailor. He's supposed to be famous but I've never heard of him.) So that means everyone else in the movie from the classroom is also only 11?

Solid gold.

My goodness this is but SOLID-ASS GOLD.
