  1. You're probably familiar with Kurt Vonnegut's novel "Slapstick". You might also be familiar with the film adaptation, "Slapstick (Of Another Kind)" starring Jerry Lewis, Madeline Kahn, Jim Backus, Pat Morita...and many other notables. It may be one of the worst movies ever made. Apparently, the first-time director was the son of someone that knew all of these stars and more or less pressured them into making the movie. Vonnegut even sued, I think, to have his name removed from the project. If you haven't seen it, maybe do so, but be drunk, or something.

     


  2. I used to have this 45. My grandfather's name was Irving, so someone had given it to him and he gave it to me. I used to lip sync it and had a whole production. The best part is I am not Jewish, so I had to ask my Jewish friends what this stuff meant. The B-side was "When You're In Love, the Whole World Is Jewish" by Phil Leeds. Good stuff.

  3. This is one of my all-time favorites. Imagine Verdi's powerhouse opera "Il Trovatore", but it takes place on Arrakis, it's produced by Persian Variety Show producers and it's poorly lip synced. No need to imagine...

    Make no mistake, Franco Bonisolli is a genuine badass, and one of the go-to tenors for the very demanding role of Manrico. But, dude, the Herb Tarlik coiffure and chest hair are so very much of a time.
