Coconutdaddy’s Movie Pick: Time Chasers (1994) – The Vermont Time Travel Flick That’s So Bad, It’s Gloriously Good 🎥🍁⏳

-

Okay, buckle up, because Coconutdaddy’s latest movie pick is a true cult classic in the “so bad, it’s good” category: Time Chasers (1994). This is not just a movie—it’s an experience. Imagine a low-budget sci-fi film, filmed entirely in Vermont, dripping with syrupy charm, questionable acting, and enough outdated tech to make a Commodore 64 look cutting-edge. And the cherry on top? It’s as if the whole production was sponsored by Bernie Sanders’ love of local pride.

What Is Time Chasers?

At its core, Time Chasers is a tale of time travel, greed, and the sheer audacity of independent filmmaking. Directed by David Giancola, it follows a geeky scientist (played by Matthew Bruch) who invents a time machine using an airplane (yes, really). When an evil corporation gets involved, things spiral into chaos across multiple timelines. Think of it as Back to the Future, but with fewer laughs, no DeLorean, and a Vermont maple syrup glaze. 🍁✈️⏳

Why It’s So Bad (And So Good!)

  1. Acting That’s So Wooden, It’s Basically Furniture – Bless their hearts, the actors are trying their best, but the performances have all the nuance of a high school play. Yet, somehow, it just adds to the charm. 🎭😂
  2. Special Effects Straight Outta 1994 – The time travel effects are gloriously bad, like someone slapped a VHS filter on Microsoft Paint. It’s adorable, really. ✨🕹️
  3. Vermont Represent! – This movie is a love letter to the Green Mountain State, with locations ranging from quaint towns to scenic views. Bernie Sanders would weep tears of pride. 🌄🇺🇸
  4. The Dialogue is a Gift That Keeps on Giving – Gems like, “It’s a time machine... sort of,” will leave you laughing harder than intended. 🗨️😂
  5. Indie Spirit – Despite its flaws, you can’t help but admire the ambition. It’s a testament to what you can do with a shoestring budget, a lot of heart, and a few friends willing to act for pizza. 🍕🎬

Coconutdaddy’s Take:

Is Time Chasers a great movie? Absolutely not. Is it entertaining as heck? You better believe it. This is the kind of film that reminds us why we love cinema—even when it’s bad, it can still be wildly fun. And the fact that it’s soaked in Vermont charm just makes it even more endearing.

Perfect Pairing:

  • Movie Night with Friends – This one’s best enjoyed with a group, so you can laugh, mock, and marvel at its quirks together. 🎥👯
  • Maple Syrup and Pancakes – Since the film is basically a Vermont tourism ad, why not lean into the theme with a syrupy snack? 🥞🍁
  • MST3K Edition – If you really want to amplify the fun, check out the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode where they roast this gem to perfection. 🔥🎙️

Why Bernie Sanders Would Approve:

This movie screams Vermont—quaint locations, DIY attitude, and an underdog spirit. It’s like the cinematic embodiment of everything Bernie stands for: grassroots effort, staying true to your roots, and taking on the big corporations (even if in this case, it’s via cheesy time travel). 💼✈️🍁

Final Thoughts:

Time Chasers is a reminder that movies don’t have to be perfect to be enjoyable. In fact, the imperfections make it memorable. Whether you’re watching to laugh at the bad effects, cheer for the indie filmmaking spirit, or just marvel at how Vermont-y it all is, this movie is worth the ride.

So grab some syrup, fire up the VHS player (or your streaming service), and prepare to lose yourself in a movie so charmingly terrible, it’s legendary. 🎥🍿

The Marshal of Madrid (1971): Glenn Ford, Richard Donner, and a Whole Lot of “What Is Even Happening?”

-

Okay, friends, let’s talk about The Marshal of Madrid (1971), a bizarre yet strangely fascinating relic from the annals of TV-to-movie-to-who-knows-what history. Directed by none other than Richard Donner (yes, Superman and Lethal Weapon Richard Donner) and starring the ever-stoic Glenn Ford, this project has layers of weirdness that deserve attention. Grab your popcorn because we’re diving into the Western mystery mess that eventually explained Glenn Ford's presence in Superman . Wait, Madrid? Like Spain? Not quite. The “Madrid” in question is a dusty New Mexico town, but let’s face it—“The Marshal of Madrid” makes it sound like Glenn Ford is chasing fugitives through Spanish cathedrals, which, honestly, would have been cooler. Instead, we get Ford as Sam Cade, the lawman who’s seen it all and probably wishes he hadn’t. How Did This Even Happen? The Marshal of Madrid is essentially a Frankenstein's monster of TV episodes stitched together to masquerade as a feature ...

Alright, folks, buckle up because we're diving into a hidden gem of the 80s action-horror scene, "Thou Shalt Not Kill... Except," also known as "Stryker's War." This 1985 cult classic is the closest thing we’ll get to seeing Sam Raimi strut his stuff as an actor and maybe, just maybe, catch a whiff of Bruce Campbell’s directing chops. 🍿 **A Little Background for Ya!** Directed by Josh Becker, this film stars Robert Rickman, John Manfredi, Tim Quill, Cheryl Hausen, Perry Mallette, and yes, our favorite, Sam Raimi. 📽️ Written by Becker and Scott Spiegel, the story was conjured up by Becker, the legendary Bruce Campbell, and Sheldon Lettich. Talk about a powerhouse team! 💥 **What's the Deal with the Cast?** Well, let’s just say this isn’t your typical Hollywood lineup. Most of the roles are filled by Becker’s friends and family, with some familiar faces for those who’ve kept up with Renaissance Pictures flicks. 🌟 The film premiered in Warren, Michigan,...
