Aliens, Clowns & Geeks (Special Edition)
(Bodhi Elfman, French Stewart, George Wendt, Verne Troyer, Anastasia Elfman, et al / Blu-ray / NR / (2019) 2022 / MVD Visual)

Overview: Out-of-work actor Eddy Pine stumbles upon the key to the universe and is drawn into an intergalactic conflict between killer clowns and sneaky green aliens - the fate of the planet hangs on the outcome.

And thus begins a “wild, wacky comedy” (Horror Buzz) filled with hilarious twists and turns in this “fantastical sci-fi adventure!” (Bloody Disgusting).

From the mind of Richard Elfman (Forbidden Zone, Modern Vampires) comes another hilarious cult classic comedy featuring an all-star cast that includes Steve Agee (Suicide Squad), French Stewart (“3rd Rock From The Sun”), George Wendt (“Cheers”), Verne Troyer (Austin Powers), Anastasia Elfman (Bloody Bridget), Malcolm Foster Smith (“The Middle”), Rebecca Forsythe (Bronx Bull), Angeline-Rose Troy (CineDopes), Nic Novicki (Boardwalk Empire) and Martin Klebba (Pirates of the Caribbean) with a soundtrack featuring original music by Danny Elfman (Batman, Spider-Man) and Ego Plum (“SpongeBob SquarePants”)!

Blu-ray Verdict: Oh boy! Aliens, Clowns & Geeks is just what it says on the label (would you have expected, or hoped for anything less?) and is just as balls-to-the-wall, unreservedly unapologetic for its entire 87 minutes, trust me!

So, as you watch an out-of-work actor stumble upon key to the universe and is then inexplicably drawn into an intergalactic war between clowns and aliens, you just have to go with it. For if you do, and let us be honest here, you purchased (or rented, or even borrowed/stole) this new Blu-ray with, at the very least, an inkling of what was to visually come, you will be oh-so glad you gave it the allotted time.

Groucho Marx once advised if nothing else is getting a laugh, “... drop your pants.” Remarkably, these wacky, left-of-center sentence of comedic wisdom turns out to be the greatest weapon of the movie! Although, in all truth, as much as it saves the day it also manages to lower the bar, of course.

Regardless, Aliens, Clowns & Geeks comes chock full of wholly irreverent, politically incorrect and in these snowflake days, comedically either close to the bone or fully having strode over the line of common decency jokes that when you hear a character say “Life is complicated, take if from the guy with a dick in a dress,” you just know that a committee of online cancel culture vultures are circling.

In closing, and just laying it all out there, Aliens, Clowns & Geeks is as stupidly silly, as magnificently goofy, and dumbly intelligent, and as absolutely madcap script wise as you could ever hope for! Some come on it, the colorful, madness-tainted water is just fine! This is a Widescreen Presentation (1.78:1) enhanced for 16x9 TVs and comes with the Special Features of:
