    Creature from the Black Lagoon

    ★★★½

    Watched on Svengoolie. I think Sven filmed this full show in 2011, but added some new ones for this release (3/22/2025). Watch Svengoolie! Even if MeTV keeps trying to get me to buy bootleg slap-chops. (Also, TIL it stands for "Memorable Entertainment Television"!)

    Decent flick. Not gonna call it particularly stunning -- it's very fifties, bombshell babe and swarthy hero challenged by a horrific beast in some wild lands with some incredibly loud orchestral music -- but the Creature is pretty cool. I love the effects when it breaths on land and its gills flex.

    Also, spotted a long nosed gar! Love that wet beast.

    Great show, especially considering it's one of their live events and not a proper PPV.

    Star for me was the Rascalz/Ace vs. Wes/Tyriek/Tyson; just a great match, and the lucha rules made it super fast-paced, even moreso than usual. Loved Ash and Heather and the Personal Concierge winning the belts off Spitfire -- I think they're funny, and also Spitfire's had the belt for too long anyway. Also nice to see an NXT KO's team teased.

    X-Division match with Jeff…

    Watched on Svengoolie, who is very funny. I also like his little Nostalgiaferatu fella.

    Anyway, this movie scared the fuck out of me as a kid. But watching it as an adult? Actually a solid ... uh, satire? B-movie? It's clearly making fun of a number of things, chiefly the sort of b-movie you'd expect from a movie called Attack of the Killer Tomatoes! Also, surprising amount of musical numbers (which I did not remember). I did not remember most of the plot, though, which is on me for taking decades to rewatch this. Had a ton of fun with it though.

    Also, watch Svengoolie.
