    I’m embarrassed by how many times I watched this without noticing all the details.
    Then I saw the 19th Street sign and it finally smacked me in the face. It’s in Philly! Specifically Benjamin Franklin Parkway at Logan Circle. I’ve even been part of parades on that route. Of course, by that decade, the trees were larger and fuller, but the sign was the same.
    Good gawd! 🤦🏾‍♀️🤭

      It was the greatest non birthday day, when I discovered that Rifftrax had hit this one over the head too!!
      I saw The Snob review first, and I know comparing only starts arguments, so I'll just say yay yay!
      Seriously though, both versions are must see, with the rifftrax one coming in at around an hour!!
      I just watched them back to back and besides the Zapruder joke, I can't remember any other overlapping riffs.
      Like I said, see both versions.
      Drugs not included but why not bring em along?

      David Lynch already made three kids’ movies.
      Not really kids’ movies but movies that are not rated R.
      These are The Elephant Man (PG but from a time before PG-13), Dune (one of the first PG-13 films but had kiddy marketing, and despite getting a PG rating in Australia, the M-rated 2021 remake is much less grotesque than the Lynch version) and The Straight Story (a G-rated Disney film from David Lynch but it’s still a slow arthouse drama more meant for adults).

    Fun in Balloon Land's production value screams
    RELATIVES (that own balloon parade) : Hey, Johnny you wrote that book in pre-school and you like movie production, could you do this for the family business?
    JOHNNY: I have ideas that could make it good if you want me to direct it.
    RELATIVES: We have a camcorder and 5$ could you make that work for us?
    JOHNNY: I don't know. Sounds pretty limiting.
    RELATIVES: Come on, we'll pay for lunch at Ruby Tuesdays!
    JOHNNY: fine. (then whispers) I hope to God no one sees this shit.
    then the UNCLE (the voice behind the first giant balloon) ends up directing it when there are creative differences. Johnny still gets RUBY TUESDAYS but can't order any drink beyond water.

    I sat through all 18 minutes of this. At the end I was making a sound I thought was laughter but was apparently so pained sounding that my poor dog thought I was suffering. She attempted to save me while whimpering and pawing frantically at my face. She then proceeded to bark frantically at nothing.
    Moral of the story... do not watch commentary about this slop of a movie unless the dog is unable to hear your soul's torment. Otherwise she will attempt an exorcism then send off the vile spirits to the netherworld.
    To The Cinema Snob I have but one thing to say. You, sir, are a saint to have watched the entire thing just to ware the world of this evil force that attempts to torment our souls.
