Welcome to the Wednesday Night Drags! Tonight's real gone flick is "Hot-Rod Girl!" I didn't realize it when I rented it from Netflix, but this film can be downloaded for free at the good ole Internet Archive!  Once again,  The Archive never ceases to amaze me!! Lori (REVENGE OF THE CREATURE, DAY THE WORLD ENDED) Nelson IS Lisa Vernon, the "Hot-Rod Girl!" The funny thing is that this movie isn't really about her that much!! "Hot-Rod Girl" literally screams 1956, and no matter what, I still like 1950's movies the best!! Is that an MG  she's smoking on the line? I don't think that import stood a chance in the quarter mile versus her souped up Thunderbird! For me, it's hard to tell since it's a convertible whether this is a 1952, 53, 54, or 55 T-Bird! I'm sure one of you purists will let me know! They didn't really change much through those years! Beautiful car no matter what the year! Chuck (THE RIFLEMAN) Connors is th...

1 In Every 43 Venture Capital Dollars Is Now Flowing Into Music... By Paul Resnikoff January 22, 2013 From Digital Music News Is this a simple case of dumb money, or the beginnings of a totally new industry? Because for all the collapse and total devaluation being experienced by the music industry, there are still plenty of people willing to gamble. That is, to the tune of roughly $621 million in 2012 alone according to Digital Music News stats, which now turns out to be roughly 1 in 43 dollars committed by the broader VC investment community last year. The math is a little rough, but the conclusion pretty stunning. According to figures just released by PricewaterhouseCoopers, Thomson Reuters, National Venture Capital Association (NVCA), total financing across all sectors topped $26.5 billion in 2012. That was a drop of 10 percent, the first fall in three years, yet music jumped a healthy 34 percent. Read More: http://www.digitalmusicnews.com/permalink/2013/20130122investment

It's Moron Monday with Tabonga, here at The Dungeon!.. We gots a wild little British flick about three aliens in space who are sick of their driver, Bernard, he doesn't take anything seriously and it's really getting on their nerves. While Bernard's playing space ball in the sports pod, the others accidentally disconnect that part from the ship, leaving him stranded while they are forced to crash land on Earth... Eegah!! sent us over the catchy theme song, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button there by the space helmet, NOW, Ralphie The Tarantula! Here's our audio offering for... MORONS FROM OUTER SPACE! Here's Bernard, played by the talented Mel Smith, who was in a ton of fun Brit projects. Mel has 42 credits playing himself! Well, you can see the sports pod being detached, Bernard's in there kicking a ball around. The others have to try and land the spacecraft as good as they can and end up scooting along on a British freeway, creating lo...

Tonight's Saturday Night Special is called "Gebissen Wird Nur Nachts" which translates literally into English as "Bitten At Night," but the English title is  "The Vampire Happening!" "The Vampire Happening" is a strange little Freddie Francis directed vampire sex romp comedy from 1971  that is a somewhat interesting movie! Does that make it any good? Well, not exactly!! The story of Pia Charlotte Caminneci Degermark is an odd one at best! Her first film was "Elvira Madigan" for which she won the best actress award at the Cannes Film Festival in 1967! Four years and three films later, Pia made her last film titled "The Vampire Happening" that was produced by her husband! After that, her life became a jumbled up mess of anorexia and substance abuse! She's since recovered and is still alive somewhere today, and we wish her well! In "The Vampire Happening" Pia plays an actress named Betty Williams, and this is a ...
