WIRE!! CONCHORDS!! BIG LOVE!! FILM CREW!! Herc's Season-Box DVD Vault!!

I am – Hercules!!

The Film Crew is not a TV show, but it should be, and perhaps will be one day. It stars “Mystery Science Theatre 3000” vets Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett doing essentially the same thing they did at MST3K – mocking poorly crafted old cinema. “Wild Women of Wongo” (1958), represents the Crew’s third DVD outing and their first in color, following “Hollywood After Dark” and “Killers From Space.” “Wongo” is the prehistoric tale of an island of half-naked primitive supermodels who meet their first-ever hot caveman. Those readily made sport of this time around: David Schwimmer, Jeff Probst, Steve Irwin, Kiss guitarist Paul Stanley, Ossie Davis, Peter Pan, Boromir, Jim Jarmusch, Bam Bam Rubble, Tonya Harding, Clay Aiken, Cher, Al Jolson, Ed Grimley, Angus Young, the Menendez Bros., William Kennedy Smith, Ted Nugent, John Turturro, MTV’s spring break coverage, Natalie Maines, Adam Sandler, Saudi Arabia, Yoda, Gwen Stefani, Chris Farley, Carnie Wilson, Harvey Keitel, Rob Schneider, John C. McGinley, P.J. Harvey, Sandra Bernhart, Cass Elliott, Bruno Kirby, Cindy Williams, Adam Baldwin, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimi. There’s a great running gag about a Montgomery Burns lookalike. And the volumes of material dealing with the unimpressive Wongoian “dragon-god” is divinely guffaw-inducing. The bonus features, however meager, offer a big step up from prior Film Crew extras (Nelson is particularly amusing here). In one, the Wongo priestess forces the Crew cast to dance. In the other, the boys re-enact “Wongo’s” moving finale.
