Doctor Goldfoot And His Bikini Machine

This episode features Vincent Price, Frankie Avalon’s helmet hair
and a very bad song from The Supremes. Thanks to guest reviewer
Sally Ann for taking time out of her busy season to join us!


Interested in watching the film?


Peep it on Amazon.

Watch on iTunes.



On with the show!


Frowner Sausages may remember Sally from a couple of Montreal
Sauce shows, S2E013 and S2E014. (It’s not an insult, Montreal
Sauce fans on Twitter chose the name Sausages, for themselves!)

Sally shares movie memories from different genres, Platoon
& Annie.

Chris gets Casualties of War mixed up with Platoon.

We all regret Oliver Stone, but love Willem Dafoe &
Forest Whitaker.

What are these beach party films?

The awful theme song by The Supremes and the opening
claymation credits by Gumby’s Art Clokey.

That song is thankfully absent from an album in Chris’
collection, Spy Magazine Presents, Vol. 1: Spy Music.

First cameo in the film is Killer Croc!

Frankie Avalon plays Jack Tripper with his costar in
backwards clothes like Kriss Kross.

Before Gilligan and before Dr. Goldfoot, there was The Many
Loves of Dobie Gillis.

Chris drops some film terminology on ya, Mise en scène.

If you’re not interested in the sequel Dr. Goldfoot & the
Girl Bombs, perhaps you would like the TV show, The Wild Weird
World of Dr. Goldfoot. WHAT?

Some of the torture scenes were borrowed from other Vincent
Price films, like Pit and the Pendulum.

Sally & Chris agree that Michael Cera and Jessie
Eisenberg are interchangeable.

During the car chase, geography becomes surreal? Fans in
Grand Rapids, MI probably feel the same way about the car chase
in 30 Minutes or Less.

Chris compares the film to Gilligan’s Island & Beverly
Hillbillies while Paul nails it, describing it as a very long
episode of Get Smart.

Sally recommends Palo Alto as “the complete opposite of this
film” we watched.

Paul is excited because The Wizard of Oz has been remastered
and looks gorgeous.

Chris says you should check out the star-studded comedy,
Noises Off.
