I fell in love with a Video Nasty

Speaking of, has anybody actually sat through Dr. Otto and the Riddle of the Gloom Beam? I figure that any kid who was an Ernest fan would enjoy that movie too, but it was just one of those things that nobody really talked about. I never saw it, I never heard of anybody seeing it, I just remember that cover art and wondering what the gently caress was up with Ernest and why he had a hand on his head.

I had a brief window as a kid where I loved the Ernest stuff. That whole umbrella can be tossed into this thread, but yeah, Dr. Otto is objectively a bad movie. And I'm pretty sure part of me knew it at the time, but watching it again later, oof. A lot of the characters were brought back later when there was that weird Saturday morning Ernest sketch show for kids that he did. My favorite was the big tin-can robot with the yellow paper smiley face that would change expressions in-between shots. This guy:



Another movie for this thread: The Monster Squad. When I was a kid it was so rad seeming: They're kids...and they fight monsters! Watching it far more recently, they're kids...who fight monsters. And kids suck, and kids never shut up. And the jokes really don't land at all.
