The Wild Women of Wongo
The Film Crew is back with yet another classic episode in their new direct to
Wongo is basically a cavesploitation film from the late 50s back when drive-ins and dive theaters were aplenty and helped fuel demand for cheap little films where people could go and spend an afternoon watching two or three (or four) films in a row. Wongo, like many films of the era, used sex as a selling point to mask their rock-bottom production values. So you get women in animal skin dresses and men in loincloths. This may have excited people of the 50s but is rather bland by today's standards of sexy.
The plot is boring and rather unimportant. The real gem is, of course, the riffing. Mike, Kevin and Bill do a fine job with this film and there were many laugh out loud moments as well as a few good chuckles. I really enjoyed this episode and hope that they continue to make more episodes.
