Three hundred years in the future, Mars is colonized by humans, and their leader, Regulator Rogul, plans to conquer Earth.

Another funny German comedy by Michael Bully Herbig, spoofing movies like Star Trek and Star Wars and pretty much all of their characters, as well as Austin Powers, Minority Report and A Knight’s Tal The movie is low brow and raunchy and gay (in all the senses of the word) and it’s a fun parody if you don’t take it seriously, as you should not with any movie made by Michael Herbig, like Der Schuh des Manitu // Manitou’s Shoe (2001), which is also spoofed. Four popcorns, and another great recommendation from Æero!

Otto, a young man from East-Frisia, comes to the big city of Hamburg to make his fortune. Most of all he is engaged with two problems: How can he impress Silvia, a wealthy young girl; and where does he get 9,876.50 DM to pay off a loan shark?

Funny little old movie, perfect for a cold evening. Otto Waalkes is funny as always and the gags are so bonkers, it reminds me why eighties movies were so cool. Four popcorns!

Another fun recommendation from Æero!

The Seven Dwarves live deep within a female-free-zone of the Enchanted Forest, but they cannot resist the innocent charms of Snow White when she enters their world. So when the evil queen (Nina Hagen) abducts her, it is up to the dwarves to save her life.

Very funny and raunchy parody based loosely on the Snow White story. The germans really know how to make silly movies and they land just fine. It’s no masterpiece, but is definitely a fun watch. Four popcorns!

A peaceful family-life is suddenly disturbed when the children enter puberty. The children take over the house and ban their parents from their lives.

This is what happens when you don’t beat your kids. Given the fact that this was made in the 80s when parenting was a bit … more permissive, it makes for an interesting watch. The kids are insanely annoying and the shit they put their parents through are insane. If I did the things these kids do to their parents, I would have been murdered. The movie slowly descends into practical prank madness and it’s a great dark comedy and really entertaining to watch. Five popcorns and it jumps into the Movie Vault.

Another great recommendation from Maria <3.

‘La Passione’ is a modern classic, with both contemporary and orchestral pieces sewn together by a film clip for each track and a story loosely based on dreams Chris had as a young boy growing up in the industrial North East.

Part dream, part documentary, a tale of 10-year-old northern boy, the son of an Italian immigrant ice-cream making family, who develops a lifelong obsession with motor racing and especially with the real-life racer Wolfgang Von Trips. Brilliant movie, gets six popcorns and jumps into the Movie Vault.

This is effectively a ‘Director’s Cut’ of La Passione audio with Rea, apparently, always unhappy with the version released originally due to different creative visions between him and the label.

Neither DVD contains the actual movie. The first has re-edited original and new short films to complement the music along with an interview with Chris between each piece. Also included on this disc are new pieces on the Dino and GTO Ferrari’s with new soundtracks to each.

A raunchy spoof edition of Countdown (1982) with the stars of 8 Out of 10 Cats (2005).

Half game show, half comedy panel, 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown is a great watch. WEven after the loss of the great Sean Lock in 2021, the show still remains funny as hell. Just finished series 26 and I’m slowly progressing through other episodes. Raunchy, raw, brilliant. Seven popcorns, no doubt.

Following the events of The Batman (2022), Oz Cobb, a.k.a. the Penguin, makes a play to seize the reins of the crime world in Gotham.

Excellent rendition of the Penguin character and storyline. Collin Farrel does a great job playing the Penguin, the makeup is so great, I could barely realize it’s him. Cristin Millioti also does a great role. Six popcorns for a great mini-series.

A comedy that follows an ex-convict who lands a position at a school that sits over the spot where money from one of his earlier robberies was stashed.

Funny little piece of comedy, absurd at some points and a bit childish, but it makes up for a great Sunday evening watch. Four popcorns for this recommendation from Æero.

Gerrie, Richard, Rikkert, Robbie and Barry from Maaskantje are in a big fight with the village of Schijndel. When a zombie kills someone from Brabant, things get out of hand.

Sequel to the New Kids Turbo, it’s just as bonkers and as funny. Recommended by Maria, of course. Five popcorns and goes into the Movie Vault.

Five friends from ‘Maaskantje’ are getting fired because of the economic crisis. They decide that they won’t pay for anything anymore.

Based on the New Kids on the Block TV show, this Dutch comedy is something out of this world. It’s raunchy, funny, gorey, and I love the fact that they use “cunt” (kut) as a punctuation mark. Six popcorns f for a great movie that goes into the Movie Vault.

Great recommendation from Maria, who did the Dutch version of the “Lost in Translation” article a while back.

The hilarious adventures of two best friends, Apache chief Abahachi and cowboy Ranger, in the Wild West.

Absurd and funny, made in 2001, but with a feeling of the 70s, it feels similar to the likes of “Hot Shots!” and “Robin Hood: Men in Tights”, but with a western theme. Germans really nailed this one and it’s a good comedy. Four popcorns.

This is the first movie recommended by Æero in his “Lost and Found in Translation” interview.
