yendiGreat news, everyone!
TCM is once again airing the Otto Preminger classic Skidoo! It'll air this Saturday (Sunday morning, really) at 2AM. This film has everything -- Jackie Gleason on a drug trip, Carol Channing in her skivvies, nearly-naked hippies in bodypaint, Groucho Marx (blatantly reading from cue cards) as a mob boss, Frankie Avalon as a mobster with the greatest automated love den ever, and an entire credit sequence sung by Harry Nilsson.
Have I mentioned that Bat-villains Frank Gorshin, Burgess Meredith,, and Cesar Romero are all in it?
Seriously, this is one of those items that we refuse to delete from our Tivo. It's camp, but it's a must-see (and the closing credits are genuinely brilliant). If you haven't seen it, you need to rectify this over the weekend.
