Deathrow Gameshow

The Dance of the Seven Boners. Made at just the right stupid and sleazy time in the 80s. Game shows suck today, sitting there slack jawed at Beat Shazaam and yeah that's the only game show that we have now. I'd be stoked to watch the reruns of this on the gameshow network, that episode when Ted Bundy hits a whammy and gets his testicles dipped in dry ice and shattered with a hammer lol Bob Barker went to town

This 80's satirical dark comedy by writer/director Mark Pirro is a funny-bad movie. Although there are a few genuinely funny jokes and moments, most of the comedy in the movie is just silly eye-rolling groaners. The movie's premise of a wackier version of "The Running Man"(1987) in better hands maybe could have been a lot of fun, but here it feels like an idea for a "MADtv" sketch stretched to feature length.

A wonderfully entertaining mound of dung. This movie is so bad it's great. A public access version of the running man. Follow the hilarious story of Chuck Toenad and Mrs. Sternvirgin as the deathrow gameshow takes it's revenge. The commercials are great. All in all Just wow. So glad this exists. Fun fact: the audience is from the Muppets take Manhattan.

bizarre trash-sploitation Z-grade flick that tries its best to both utterly horrify and make jokes. It doesn't quite get there in either direction, mostly because the script isn't good enough. Also the actors, director, production and basically any other part of the movie aren't good enough.

Pirro's stuff has a special brand of humor that very often goes overboard with the silly. This is definitely his strongest movie, but I was thinking I was going to be watching a horror comedy so I was a little disappointed.

These low-budget genre comedies with pitch black and very un-PC humor can be really horrible if you're not on the same wavelength, but I felt that this one was actually quite competently put together and tolerable - even enjoyable- for about 1/3 of it's duration. That was when the limitations of budget really started to kick in and the script was not able to keep you interested. The leads were quite good in their parts. Not bad, but would have worked better as a short film.
