Okay, so, I was sitting in a hotel room flipping through things to watch on Pluto TV*, I found the eclectic “90’s Comedies” section and I picked the least-bad looking one, Shakes (1991) from Bobcat Goldthwait**.

I have bad news & I have good news. First, the bad news: Shakes is an absolutely terrible mid-budget early 90’s movie. The good news: it’s so bad it’s good & inspired this club! In order to not spend any money, I’m gonna play this on Pluto TV and your (completely optional) donation will go toward buying popcorn.

My review from my Letterboxd:

I ...... I'm in a hotel and was randomly clicking around Pluto TV's selection of 90's comedy movies and came across this. What a ridiculous use of time and money. Impressive gymnastics, beautiful costuming and set design — aggressively gross production and script tho.

* If you’d like the term of art to look up, Pluto TV is a FAST (n.) “F.ree A.d S.upported T.elevision” network

** His Letterboxd bio:

Robert Francis "Bobcat" Goldthwait is an American screen and voice actor, comedian, screenwriter, and film and television director. He became recognized as a solo stand-up comedian and had a record "Meat Bob" and two televised concert specials in the 1980s.

During the fall of 1993, he performed stand-up material as an opening act for Nirvana on what would be their final North American tour. Goldthwait is commonly known for his energetic, ravenous stage personality, his dark, acerbic black comedy, and his gruff but high-pitched voice.
