That's a great read, btw.
And his second book is a funny work of fiction.

I suggest the audiobook version of Make Love: The Bruce Campbell Way.

I bought Hail to the Chin when it came out, but still haven't read it yet.

Lol, even considering the allegations, everybody like Max Landis over Patton Oswalt.

I was just thinking, Jack Quaid has been on way more than half that list, I wonder how he would place. I’ve not minded any of his appearances.
 
It’s funny when Jay said Robert Z’Dar is typically cast as a villain because I absolutely just subconsciously decided he was in this movie and never realized it.
 
I have a theory about Palmer Rockey and his weird film.

At one point the boys propose that he cannot handle criticism, and instead of fixing his movie he doubled down on explaining it.

I reckon that's only half right, and what really happened was that he made this movie as an excuse to be a sex pest to the women in it. The specific criticism that he couldn't handle was audiences pointing that out. So instead of admitting that he was just being a sex pest, he committed to providing alternative explanations. That's why even the explanations make no sense, he's desperately trying to bullshit his way around the obvious truth. Think about it, if he'd said he just wanted to be a sex pest to women, it wouldn't make the movie any better but it would make sense.

This is why James Hong has more integrity than Palmer Rockey, James Hong wanted to be a sex pest so he just openly made soft core porn.

Z'Dar is the only good thing about that movie. He looks like he's actually trying. The overlong chase sequence is very jarring.

He definitely gave me he's obviously autistic or schizophrenic AND wants to creep on women vibes that's for sure. I dunno which one of them said it but someone said he may have fried his brains on drugs and that's certainly looks like that happened too? Possibly in the 15 years or so he was working on the film he kept getting more and more unhinged so his mental acuity was definitely not there. He certainly gave me 60s Neil Breen vibes. How'd he get the money to hire all those presumably models/dancers who were all fairly attractive is beyond me? None of them seemed like they knew him whatsoever you got the idea their scenes are where they largely had interacted with him mostly at that point. Did he give them the "I'll get you into movies" bit so that's how he got those girls to appear in it? Seems so.

Also his obvious obsession with the Zodiac Killer is very unnerving too. Trying to make sense of his nonsense but it seems to imply the Zodiac had did his crimes because of some implied incestuous interest in his sister? Not that that's based on anything real about the Zodiac but what a weird take. Palmer Rocky was definitely nuttier than a jar of mixed nuts that's for sure.
 
I'd pay good money to see a Palmer Rockey documentary. From what I've managed to scavenge across the uppercase "I" Internet, he was an odd and interesting man.

I’m pretty sure I saw one recently, let me check my watch history and see if I can find the title for you. Pretty sure it was on Tubi.

UPDATE: It wasn't on Tubi, must have been a YouTube video about one of his movies, could take me a while to scrape my history to find it.

Patreon Update:

Hello all! This weekend, we'll finally be posting our epic 1hr 50min Best of the Worst episode. It's basically three spotlight episodes combined into one. We did our best to consolidate everything down and make it watchable and not toooooo long, but the movie's were all pretty crazy. We also just shot a new re:View for one of the most vulgar and baffling mainstream action movies ever made: Crank 2! We talk about the first Crank as well but focus more on the sequel. Coming soon!!!

The BOTW is already out, by the way.
