Astro Zombies (1968 color Rifftrax.) Another Wendell Corey movie! This one came out the year he died of alcoholism. John Carradine is in this too. 30mins in. Not real funny. Still, credit for a Jane Weidlin riff. Also points for the movie having some body painted toplessness. No idea what the plot is. Carradine is a mad scientist as usual. There’s an Asian woman who is evil. I guess. I’m not even sure she’s Asian. I think Corey is with the good guys. Great 60s fashion, on the women at least. There’s like a really low scale Playboy club. It’s kinda picked up. Also there’s a naked girl strapped down in Carradine’s lab. Wonder if that will get an explanation. Slight Barabaralla vibe. Corey is head of CIA or some spy thing. So they’re the good guys. And just like the bad guys, they have a boring lab. Competing boring labs. It’s like the movie keeps cutting to the Doc Carradine and Igor show. Ok there's now a zombie that can run on flashlight batteries. Ok, it ends and nobody ever mentions the half naked girl tied up in the lab. This is like when the creature behind the door in Brain That Wouldn't Die just sets the lab on fire and wanders off with Jan in the Pan's body donor. The episode was fun. Tempted to say top, but probably second tier?
Rewatch. I think it’s top tier. Very much an old Mst3k vibe. Love the hot redhead. All the men suck. Main guy is like a smarmy version of Casey Kassum crossed with Regis Philbin. Top Tier.
