In this newest chapter of Cinematic Titanic destruction, they’ve chosen the 1968 movie, War of the Insects to riff on, live. (War of the Insects AKA, Genocide. On IMDb, it got a 4 rating. That IS bad! Wow!) This live performance was shot in front of a live audience at Pepito’s Parkway Theater in Minneapolis, MN. And this is my DVD review, from Cinema Static on Brusimm.com.
As the Cinematic Titanic DVD starts, we see the introduction of the riffing squad to the theater audience: Trace Beaulieu, J. Elvis Weinstein, Mary Jo Pehl, Frank Conniff & Joel Hodgson. (Yes, the old MST3K gang!)
Cinematic Titanic, Live, and the countdown and theme commenced… to Genocide… mental genocide that is!

The bugs shall inherit the earth!
Or so says Annabelle, the hottest, the sexiest, and by far the craziest psycho blonde chick to hit Japan since WWII. Deeply embittered about the whole man’s-inhumanity-to-man thing, she enacts a diabolical plot to unleash a swarm of mutant insects on the world that will destroy all living creatures except creepy crawlers.
Ensnared in all this madness is a philandering island-hopping bug collector and his compliant and slightly pregnant wife, a humorless doctor from the mainland, and a United States airman named Charlie, whose way of starting a conversation is to hysterically scream “Genocide!” and then go off his rocker like the dedicated military professional he is.
If you want to watch a story where everybody gets their nuclear holocaust on in the grand tradition of radioactive Japanese monster movies, this is the film for you!

The movie opens to a rising cloud from an atomic bomb explosion and the gang chimes in: {Michele Bachmann’s first day as president.} That got a big laugh from the audience.
A scene that’s showing the bottom of a surf pounded cliff, {As you can see, anywhere you want to jump will do the trick.}
