Movies are Dumb

The debut episode features Matt, Emmy & Chris watching YETI: GIANT OF THE 20TH CENTURY, a 1977 Italian kaiju film in which a giant unfrozen Yeti becomes a worldwide pop sensation, all before wreaking havoc on the Canadian province of Newfoundland, as unfrozen Yetis are known to do.

For their second episode, Matt, Emmy & Chris watch STAR ODYSSEY (1979), an Italian sci-fi flick featuring horny astronauts, bickering suicidal robots, and a villain with a face seared by a tennis racket. STAR ODYSSEY answers the age-old question: what if STAR WARS was boring, terrible, and incoherent?

It was a gift from the red planet. Uncle Sam had the ultimate solution. The producers behind The Mads Are Back and The Mary Jo Pehl Show pull up a chair to the world of movie-riffing with MOVIES ARE DUMB! Based on the live show of the same name produced by Chris Gersbeck from 2017-2020, this new streaming version finds Chris, Emmy Martian, and Matt Reiser riffing on movies that are, well, pretty damn Dumb.  For their third episode, Matt, Emmy & Chris watch the slow, slow, SLOW burn of THE ALPHA INCIDENT (1978)--Movies Are Dumb's first non-Italian flick--featuring a flesh-eating virus that terrorizes idiotic passengers in a railroad office. Yup. This movie is about as dumb as it sounds. Written, Produced & Performed by Chris Gersbeck, Emmy Martian and Matt Reiser
