For this Wednesday Super Slop Night, 8PM EST, first up is Seven Psychopaths (2012), a British gangster comedy about an Irish screenwriter (Colin Farrell) who goes to Los Angeles in search of work and finds him caught in a web of ruthless and wacky gangster shenanigans, centering around the abduction of a made-man’s dog. Hilarity ensues, along with a whole lot of swearing, sex, and violence. Director is Martin McDonagh, the guy behind In Bruges (2008), which is similar in tone, as well as The Banshees of Inisherin (2022), which we previously watched.
Next up is The Super Inframan (1975), a silly live-action cartoon from Hong Kong about a superhero who foils the plans of a cosmic supervillain and her army of rubber-suited minions, who she sends out one-by-one to menace Earth until the good guys can locate her lair. Although this may look like a ripoff of Super Sentai / Power Rangers, it was actually released the same year as the first Sentai series, so Ultraman is the more likely influence here. This is the best-known work of director Hua Shan, who seems to specialize in this sort of schlock. A cult classic, and a smorgasbord of old-school practical effects.
We’ll start at 8PM EST on Hextube, right here:
