  • I love a good laugh-out-loud comedy, so I’m going to go kind of obscure with Amazon Women On The Moon. You’ve probably never heard of it, because it was a straight to DVD from ‘87 by Zucker/Abrams/Zucker, the same guys who made Airplane and the Naked Gun movies, and it’s also the spiritual successor to The Kentucky Fried Movie.

    It’s difficult to describe it, other than to say that you’re loosely supposed to be watching a 1950s sci fi movie called Amazon Women On The Moon on late night TV. Interspersed among the bits of the movie are fake commercials and other skits that are absolutely hilarious! And the cast is unbelievable - Roseanna Arquette, Michelle Pfeffer, Arsenio Hall, Steve Gutenberg, Andrew Dice Clay, Joe Pantoliono, David Alan Grier, Ed Begley Jr., a long list of classic comedians in one skit, and, if you keep it rolling during the credits, even Carrie Fisher shows up.

    Sadly JustWatch shows that it’s not available to stream anywhere (except the high seas I guess? 🤷🏻‍♂️), but Amazon has the DVD & Blu-Ray available, and, if you’re a fan of Airplane type humor, it’s worth the purchase!

    EDIT: After a Google Search, I discovered that there’s a copy online at the Internet Archive! Go watch it before it’s gone!
