@@MortalAnonymous Uh, as another 62 year old with a late birthday, I was probably 2 years old still when this film was released. Of course, the OP might remember more as he was probably 3 haha
@@varanid9 Oh, I wasn't referring to this movie specifically. They said they watched several of this type and I was just curious if there happened to be any relevant-adjacent information. Like if any other movies used them or if it was one of those promotional stories that float around for a few years in public consciousness for being weird. If someone heard anything about how those posters were supposed to be "listenable" tho, I'm genuinely curious. I love novel bits of older culture.
"Why did I decide to use real salt?!" a. Because you're an idiot. and b. Because some part of you knew, no level of acting could match the real reaction shot.
To be completely fair, if someone was trying to convince me monsters came up from underground and waged war on the town as we drove through its ruins, and I was still a bit skeptical, finding actual dead bodies with actual spears stuck in them would really do a lot of convincing for me.
Wow, you were really on a roll here with this one. There aren't enough laughing emojis for every slick zinger, hilarious edit, or subtle yet witty line. And the skit... the skits! 🤣 Right down to the last outtake, this is one of your best in my opinion.
As someone who was alive while phonebooths were still a thing, they were used primarily as public restrooms. And for seeing how many people you could stuff into one...then the pandemic happened. Coincidence? Absolutely!!
Lol, Bonnie looks to be on speed, but can you blame her? You go to Hollywood to try and have a serious career and you end up in something like this. Being high the whole time probably helped. She's really (unintentionally) funny, though. The actress ended up leaving Hollywood to become a family therapist, so good for her.
You eating salt on cereal made me laugh so DAMN HARD!!!!!! I have had a crappy week and you turned it around. I’m so glad you didnt use sugar!! Your pain brought me joy.
In "K-Pax", Kevin Spacey's character (K-Pax, ironically) was to eat a banana with no knowledge of what it was, peel and all. They said they tried making a banana out of wax and other types of mostly edible products, but it always looked fake. Kevin Spacey just told them to get him a real banana and he ate it, peel and all :D
Bonnie was actually romantically involved with a Slime Person. The movie was supposed to be more of a Romeo/Juliet thing but they ran out of money so that had to be dropped
Seriously, the line, "Some people just want to watch the world burn," matched with the stare, was one of the funniest bits you ever did! I'm still laughing.
Mark, your content is absolutely fantastic! I can't help but hit the like button before even watching. You truly are one of the best creators on UA-cam. Thank you for constantly providing such brilliant and entertaining content! :)
That "fog" obscuring much of the movie reminds of decades ago when I would go to the drive-in and a real fog would occasionally roll in and block out the screen. If it was late in the movie some people would just leave in their cars. I would watch the tail lights disappear out the exit. They were all I could see anyway.
I have been listening to the MST3K version of this movie frequently lately, good background while doing housework or shopping. Fun timing on the video. I love these kind of old movies. Check of "Planet of the Vampires" from 1965 if you want an interesting one. Vampires in space kinda deal, pretty good production value for the time. Has a "First Spaceship on Venus" kinda vibe. It very much seems to be a strong influence for the Alien films.
DUDE! This has been one of my favorites forever! It's so cheesy, so slimy, so good!!! Mostly because it has a goat. I mean, you never see a goat in many modern movies. They were used more back than but goats may come and go, and the goats of today are mostly unemployed. They could use a sweet role in a movie like this, even if the crew was forced to eat that goat in lieu of pay on the last week of the shoot, or so I've heard. The inclusion of a goat helps to really put this movie in a class by itself. Great vid! Fascinating!
Dude, Mark, you put more effort into your skits than some people (Seagal, Breen) put into their entire movies, and they look really good and are genuinely funny. In this one, when you’re talking to the overly happy lady, the “no.” so matter-of-factly after you suggest she goes away was so hilariously placed.. I love this channel. Keep it up, man.
Your best "show" ever! Great movie to rip and some great comedy. As a side note the creatures from the " Horror of Party Beach" were defeated by salt as well....which proves how dangerous salt is...
Great vid again! Your edit-ins for this one were extra-strong, too! Cackled at the first conversation you made with the gal, and then the 'doctor' in the commercial at the end
I think you have a bit of a crush on 'crazy-eyes' Bonnie, thou doest protest too much... Lisa's driving acting was top notch. She kept her eyes on the road, but tilted her head to indicate she was following the conversation... Give the girl an Emmy... :)
I also noticed that the Marine's rifle changed. In the earlier seems he had a bolt-action 1903 Springfield. In some of the later shots he's carrying an M1 Garand, which is a semi-automatic rifle.
Man I unironically love this movie. I don't know what it is about small isolated apocalypse stories but they're just fascinating to me. Even though the name doesn't make any sense givin that the monsters look like the thing from fantastic 4, and the salt solution is pretty ridiculous. I just like the idea that a small amount of people are trapped in the city and trying to survive. It reminds me of resident evil 2, or the original dawn of the dead. I would live to remake this movie just a little cleaned up and with a better title. Thanks for covering it. Ps. As others have said, I also originally saw this on mst3k. A number of movies you've covered have been riffed on that show also. I recommend maybe checking out "squirm" or either (or both) of the "boggy creek" movies. Thanks again.
Hi Mark, UA-cam suggested this to me...perhaps because it's one of the 3 movies I use to lull myself to sleep nightly. I have played it over 100 times, but have never seen the end. So thanks for that. The other 2 video sleeping pills are "Beginning of the End", and "The Indestructible Man". Your channel is fantastic, I immediately subscribed. Cheers from the Peoples Republic of SoCal!
Thanks for all your hard work and dedication with your videos... you`re really going that extra mile to make it fun and entertaining for us viewers... Your videos are truly appreciated. Peace out!
How many people have you doomed to slime with THAT reference in the end credits. Barth, Moose, Lisa R., and (briefly).Allannis M.are waiting for a super 3 word answer from those unfamiliar with the show you referenced. For those of us who paid for slime(sometimes with worms) in the late 70's, enjoy! BTW: big shout out to Barth's burgers (they're in the universe of slime- especially in Barth's burger warmer)!
Understand... I grew up in the 60's. Like Bonnie and if something was happening... you were excited and wanted in on it... Also this is the time you could have a gun in a gunrack in your pickup in a school parking lot... And, yes I hitched hiked everywhere... even to Florida as a teen. Today I don't go to the mailbox without my star of David, my Crucifix, my rabbit's foot (not so lucky for him) and my 1911 45 caliber.

Do you happen to have any insight on the listenable posters?
Replying to myself, just watched the Bonnie skit and it's gotta be one of the funniest things I've seen in my 35 years. Cheers buddy

The kinda comment you don't expect on UA-cam. The kind kind. 😄
I laughed so hard during your skit with Bonnie that I accidentally shot my coke up my nose.
You 'accidentally' put coke up your nose.
...right...
Love the Bonnie skit.
“Accidentally” put some coke up yer nose, eh? Sure bud 😊
...should I be hearing that 80s song, "White Lines (Don't Do It)"?
Oh you meant COLA... didn't see a problem there for a sec
The Bonnie scene is top notch.
Your inserts and skits in this episode were pure gold. Thanks for all the laughs!
"Why did I decide to use real salt?!"
a. Because you're an idiot. and
b. Because some part of you knew, no level of acting could match the real reaction shot.
"I dont think so."
"...okay."
love your inserts into the movies. 10/10 knee slapping
To be completely fair, if someone was trying to convince me monsters came up from underground and waged war on the town as we drove through its ruins, and I was still a bit skeptical, finding actual dead bodies with actual spears stuck in them would really do a lot of convincing for me.
But would it convince you with a goat?
@@NathanTarantlawriter A goat stuck with spears?
A little bit still.
Not as much as the human bodies would.
Wow, you were really on a roll here with this one. There aren't enough laughing emojis for every slick zinger, hilarious edit, or subtle yet witty line.
And the skit... the skits! 🤣
Right down to the last outtake, this is one of your best in my opinion.
Agreed, they just keep getting better with each one!
100% he's killing it!!
It is one of his best. Except for that end music.
Seriously, it's like the absolute worst of hip-hop and techno had a deformed baby.
Ran out of budget in 9 days? That's long enough for Roger Corman to make 3 movies!
Spiffy Salt is probasbly your finest work so far Mark!!
Loved the subtle Aliens “nuke it from orbit” reference. Tip o’ the cap to you, sir.
As someone who was alive while phonebooths were still a thing, they were used primarily as public restrooms. And for seeing how many people you could stuff into one...then the pandemic happened. Coincidence? Absolutely!!
I'd be afraid of the toxic radioaction when Spiderman changed costumes into super man
Lol, Bonnie looks to be on speed, but can you blame her? You go to Hollywood to try and have a serious career and you end up in something like this. Being high the whole time probably helped. She's really (unintentionally) funny, though. The actress ended up leaving Hollywood to become a family therapist, so good for her.
She was definitely better off. Hollywood is not a good place.
When it starts out black and white with you in a suit, it's gonna be great! 😃
how can you NOT love Bonnie's energy?? lol
Went into the movie thinking it was The Smile People. I was very confused when the creatures never smiled. 😀
Your dyslexia problem has been noted and approved😀
Mark doing four roles including host? Where’s this man’s award?!
You eating salt on cereal made me laugh so DAMN HARD!!!!!! I have had a crappy week and you turned it around. I’m so glad you didnt use sugar!! Your pain brought me joy.
I knew the Alien 2 quote was coming: “Nuke it from space. It’s the only way to be sure.” Thank you, Mark, you don’t disappoint.
LMFAO! The salt advertising skit was hilarious, definitely one of the best you have made so far. Phenomenal work.
I love how you can see it in Mark's face during the entire cereal skit that he's dreading eating that Spiffy Salt. But he did it anyway - dedication!
I was thinking that your skit at the end included sugar, but apparently your commitment to realism is stronger than mine.
In "K-Pax", Kevin Spacey's character (K-Pax, ironically) was to eat a banana with no knowledge of what it was, peel and all. They said they tried making a banana out of wax and other types of mostly edible products, but it always looked fake.

I wanted the real reaction that came with a mouthful of salt and cheerios lol
@@FanboyFlicks True dedication to your craft 🙂
2:47 Great reference to one of my favorite films. Thanks there Cpl. Dwayne Hicks!
This is a bug hunt, man! A bug hunt!!
Oh Mark. You could’ve put sugar in the Spiffy salt box and we wouldn’t have known the difference. Now THATS commitment to your work.
I think Bonnie was in shock. Either that - or she's secretly in league with the Slime People.
Bonnie was actually romantically involved with a Slime Person. The movie was supposed to be more of a Romeo/Juliet thing but they ran out of money so that had to be dropped
@@jlarrybrewer1149 Lol didn't know that. Traitor Bonnie!!
Yeah alright, that's hands down my favorite into the movie skit so far, that gave me some legitimate hearty belly laughter.
I am in actual tears laughing right now having just watched the Bonnie skit. Buddy, that is one of your best. 👏🤝🤜🤛
Kudos to the design team that came up with the Slime People.
Sure is a good thing they have those guns so they can club the monsters.
"Are we gonna be on television? - Bonnie, goddammit!" 😅😅😅
The conversation between Mark and Bonnie was priceless😂😂😂
Seriously, the line, "Some people just want to watch the world burn," matched with the stare, was one of the funniest bits you ever did! I'm still laughing.
Man I need to meet a girl like Bonnie. What a sweetheart. Always upbeat & positive.
Maybe the first manic pixie dream girl?
it's drugs that you're seeing. you need to meet a girl on drugs, but not too much drugs
Wow, your insert with Bonnie was HILARIOUS!. She seems a little touched in the head for sure. Thanks for the laughs!
She was definitely a “pick me” girl, who was happy all the competition had died.
I'd like a WMMW t-shirt with Bonnie's crazy smile on it, and a quote saying "He's a Science Professor!"
Another fantastic episode, Mark. I am still chucking about the kid who is "approximately 10 years old" at the end.

Sodium! Whether you're dealing with Slime People or Party Beach Horrors, sodium is there for you!
Spiffy salt has been manipulating us all this time!
Hey dude, 2023 has been shit for me, depression ect… your show brings light to these dark days for me please keep it up!
"from the bowels" is the only accurate part if that poster! Another good one, mark...thank you!
Definitely a contender for the best insert for sure lol. The salt bit at the end was funny too.
"Bird poop I'm willing to accept, because shit happens."
Did you think you were just going to slide that one under the radar, Mark?
You and Bonnie had great chemistry.
Mark talking to the girl cracked me up, so funny. I love this videos
The in movie skit edits in any of these are better than the movie itself... Always comedy gold!!!😂😂😂

What if the actress playing Bonnie didn't realize they were making a movie and every scene is her taking it 100% seriously?
I look forward to every one of your reviews, Mark! Made my day.

"Why did I choose real salt to do this?"
Hilarious video and great work as usual, but that part I absolutely lost it. 🤣
They ran out of money to finish the movie, but had enough left to rent a fog machine and cover up the lack of movie.
I will always appreciate that you put captioning into your videos, I don't have the best hearing and I love watching your videos on my TV before bed 😄
There was probably a hole that you could "hear the ocean" in like putting a shell up to your ear.
I haven't had such a strong visceral reaction in a long time as I did when you said "Why did I chose real salt to do this?"
This was hilarious. I almost died laughing during the Spiffy Salt skit! 😂
I really think this is Mark's best work to date. Looking forward to more.
9:30 This movie would improve exponentially if it was just Mark bantering back and forth with the characters the whole time 😂😂🤣
"I can deal with bird poop, cuz, ya know, shit happens..."
Nice. (-:
Ugh, I feel for you, Mark; I once put salt in my cereal instead of sugar.. >_
So where did the Slime People come from? The set of every 1970s episode of Dr. Who.....
Your best "show" ever!
Great movie to rip and some great comedy.
As a side note the creatures from the " Horror of Party Beach" were defeated by salt as well....which proves how dangerous salt is...
Bonnie might be my favorite bad movie character of all time.
lol when you suddenly screamed "DON'T EAT THAT!!!" I nearly choked on my tea laughing!
I'm very glad you're willing to represent both kinds of people. Slime people don't get enough representation.
LOVE the Spiffy Salt commercial Mark! You’re so freaking talented!!! 🙏🏻😍🙏🏻
Great vid again!

Lisa's driving acting was top notch.

Love how a 1957 fintail classic car was considered an "old heap" by 1963
I also noticed that the Marine's rifle changed. In the earlier seems he had a bolt-action 1903 Springfield. In some of the later shots he's carrying an M1 Garand, which is a semi-automatic rifle.
bonnie has a look of madness in her eyes. im willing to believe this is all going on in her crazy head.
Well at least a little girl that played on Manos the 👐 of Fate got a tricycle and the dog got a bag of dog food. For their efforts.
This was the best Mark inside the movie moment yet. Great job dude.
2:48...Aliens reference. Awesome!!!
I saw this movie about a month ago. I LOVE 'YOU CAN'T DO THAT ON TELEVISION'! Seen every episode!
"...they can't tell if it's a monster or no, well, they are in Hollywood after all" - love it!
Mark…Hilarious. You never disappoint!
This is one of the best one's yet. The skits had me rolling. Up to the Spiffy-Salt cereal topper. 🤣

Excited to find your channel today!
You're the absolute best Mark, thanks for being so awesome for so many years keeping me entertained constantly. Your videos are like therapy
I got that "you can't do that on television" remark. Canadian television at it's finest. And Alanis Morrisette too.
Sweet Aliens reference at 2:49

Yeah man, your wit is why so many love your videos. Great, dry sarcasm!
This movie is my guilty pleasure! I crack up every time!
I appreciated the " You Can't Do That On Television " reference.
"I don't know" what I would have done without it ;)

So salt, and you'd assume, salty water kills the slime-people. So how is it they got so close to the sea to do THIS, at 11:34 ?
Understand... I grew up in the 60's. Like Bonnie and if something was happening... you were excited and wanted in on it... Also this is the time you could have a gun in a gunrack in your pickup in a school parking lot... And, yes I hitched hiked everywhere... even to Florida as a teen.
