Review of Eegah (1962) by Marco F — 12 Sep 2017
As the new MST3K Netflix original was being promoted I decided to expose myself to some of the old episodes available for streaming on Hulu and Netflix (there is a different random selection on each platform).
Whether it is Joel or Mike watching these awful movies with the bots I do not envy the torture they are put through. Their snarky comments add some entertainment value, but my ratings are based on the movie's quality itself and not the extra material broadcast from the satellite of love.
A kind of proto-Encino Man. A wannabe teen heartthrob with an impossible pompadour, a Fay Wray type girl, and her bumbling grandpa find a living caveman (Richard Kiel) in the desert. Throw in some King Kong tropes and a clichèd tame rock song of the period that is supposed to appeal to the teen audience while a "monstrous" neanderthal grunts his way around suburbia while all he really wants to do is protect his cave home and you've got it.
