"If you're trying to change minds and influence people it's probably not a good idea to say that virtually all elected Democrats are liars, but what the hell."
When it was making the rounds on Showtime in 1992, I watched it several
times without realizing it was a spoof (that's good spoof!). I knew who
Madonna was, but paid
little attention. In fact, the only time I'd seen her perform was on a
Showtime concert. A stage floor up-shot camera angle caught
me
by surprise. For a moment I thought she was panty-less. This was
before
DVR, so there was no quick review. I set the VCR to tape the next
showing, and sure enough! Madonna was flashing beaver. So, you
can see
why I could be taken-in by Julie Brown.
I rank Medusa
as one of the top three
five mockumentary films ever made (This Is Spinal Tap,
and The Old Negro Space
Program, Waiting For Guffman,
Best in Show )
Unlike the other two
four (watch-in-full links
above), this six-part YouTube presentation is the only one I could
find. I don't have time right now, but later I will watch, for
the
first time in 20 years. If I change my mind about its brilliance,
I'll
let you know.
I loved Bruce Willis in the Bruno Mockumentary. It was really good.

The Rutles can't be beat! Tragical History Tour is brilliant!

I tried the Rutles a few times, but nothing sticks out.
ReplyDeleteI am fond of 'A Mighty Wind'. Same folks as Spinal Tap and the music is actually pretty good!

Horry Clap! I updated to include Waiting For Guffman and Best in Show. Guffman especially.
