1936, Movie, NR, 68 mins

starstarstarstar
An obnoxious satire of the South best described by one of its songs: "Uncle Tom's Cabin Is a Cabaret Now." Father and daughter Gurgle lose their medicine show, which is on the land of a bankrupt Kentucky colonel. To save it from foreclosure, Miss Gurgle and an enthusiastic bunch of workers put on an amateur show in the old southern home. Dancing girls, the Gurgles, and the Peachtrees can't save this poor specimen of Confederate comedy. leave a comment

Our favorite star-crossed Loch Ness Monster hunters are back together this week, hot on the trail of the Big Bad Specimen A that Laura managed to tag last time.

When Rich gets a load of Laura's shrine-o'-newspaper-clippings, he tells her, "I thought I'd gone overboard." Guess what, Surface cast? I'm instituting a dollar-a-pun rule — it's a crisp greenback in the jar every time you spout a bit of cutesy, water-related dialogue. (Uh-oh. I don't owe a buck for "spout," do I?) After some death-defying highway hot-doggery, the pair manage to score their first above-water sighting — alongside an entire marina full of tourists. We've got monster on tape! Oh wait, no we don't. Thanks a lot, electromagnetic superpowers. Whose side are you on, anyway? Hip! Hip! Hooray for the B-story: Nim's loose in the Piggly Wiggly! Now this is the sort of read more
