Last year around this time I told Tonio that I wanted to help with site content. I was pretty sure I could keep it up for a month or two. Now a year later, there have been 50 movies posted. Seeing how this is technically a one-year anniversary, I thought it would be nice to make a page of all the posts so you could pick your movie. Or just talk amongst yourselves.
I have a couple of thank you’s:
- Tonio, for being awesome and helping me shape this show into something positive and lasting.
- Nephilium, for running the show when I couldn’t and providing moral support.
- The Hyperbole, for providing the ubiquitous Tubi Help screen.
- Farhad Massoudi and Thomas Ahn Hicks, for creating Tubi and loving independent films.
- All of you, for showing up on Thursdays and making this an oasis from bad news.
And a few quick comments about this year’s films:
- Most Popular Movies: A tie! CoronaZombies and WolfCop were the most popular posts, by positive comments. Danger 5 was a close third place.
- Least Popular Movies: First place: Jesus Christ, Vampire Hunter, my first post which nearly ended the whole thing before it started. I ended up drinking with Bethannica that night. But I didn’t give up! In second place, Santo and Blue Demon vs. Dr. Frankenstein. I kid about it, but it had a really low relevant comment count. And in third place, Hillbillys in a Haunted House, which people were just meh about.
One final note – Some movies may no longer be available streaming. The posts are there, but I make no guarantees that any particular film is still available. Also, some links are missing the artwork. I was trying to be a good citizen and delete excess artwork to reduce site size. Little did I know that removed art from the post also.
And now, the links!

Thanks R.J.!
I haven’t been able to partake in watching the movies, just reading the comments as people watch. Adding content is always appreciated…apparently, myself and db have slacked on something that was kicked around but never solidified. Life finds a way and all that.
It’s been a long strange trip.
And I’ve enjoyed it.
Thanks RJ!
That you for coming along for the ride!
About time I get some god-damn respect around here.
Seriously good on you R.J., one year of content is impressive, most of my attempts peter out after five or six weeks.
Thanks! I just climbed off a ladder and realized it was show time.
It’s showtime, folks.
Nice!
Yeah! I’ve been waiting for the next “Random Thoughts” for months, damnit!
Dude, shush. I mentioned you in the article I wrote about code enforcement (dropping Tuesday evening).
This guy, R.J., is a bum we found sleeping in the alley outside Glibs HQ, and let into the basement so he could shower in the custodian’s mop closet.
Incredibly, he has cleaned up his act and regularly produces high-quality content for the site. This is what happens when a
cruel and sadisticcaring and nurturing editor takes you under his wing and makes you a better person.Ok, groomer.
(Sorry Tonio, couldn’t resist. Thank you for all that you do to make the glib posters look good and feed the content machine.)
You forgot to mention the rest of the Glibs staff in gimp attire.
*Looks up at Tonio
*Goes back to mopping Glibs headquarters
Can’t believe it’s been a year.
Thanks, RJ!
Inorite?
I am glad I made it. This Sunday I start planning for year two. Probably more westerns and sci fi. I will continue to maintain a reasonable schlock to art film ratio.
Thanks!
OT AS all get out but…
I have a chance to make it to honey harvest but I need info, addy, dates etc.
Any help is appreciated.
I can save 600 miles driving by taking a car ferry, yee hah!
I hope you make it! We are still mulling the trip. We might do a big tgiving with family instead
Sep 18. Do you still have my email address? Or Tundra’s?
I still have yours, I’ll send you an email tomorrow morning, if you’re still using the old one from a couple years ago.
Yes please, I have a sponsor, and the Badger to ferry me to Manitowac,
Yippee!
I forwarded Tundra’s email to you (and doxxed a lot of Minnesoda Glibs…)
Nah, but thanks!
If you can make it, I want to disc golf with you.
I blame you for the fact that Google has started recommending Return to Blood Fart Lake!
Congrats RJ, and appreciate the shout out, even though it wasn’t necessary at all. I’ve just got a couple of short lived series, none reaching a year mark.
Oof, I don’t wanna ever go there again.
South Park had relevant commentary on that.
Heh heh. IT WILL NEVER GO AWAY! Soon Amazon will try to sell your the DVD.
Yay. After 2 months of fighting to get someone that wants to voluntary reassign to Vegas and getting stonewalled at every turn, I was able to tell the dude he is coming to Vegas.
On that note, I have one off-the-street slot open so if you want to hold your nose and dip your toes into FedGov…and have an aptitude for following PowerPoint (electronics) I am hiring.
Really? I could go there tomorrow
I’ll shoot you a msg on the forums.
Thank you, RJ. You are a good bean.
I haven’t watched the movies, primarily because Thursday is poker night for me, but your list above in very inviting — will check some of them out soon.
“is” very inviting.
I haven’t watched many, but I can vouch for WolfCop – it was actually pretty good.
Joysticks was so bad it was almost good.
And there was one with hopping vampires, name forgotten but that’s OK.
Oh, and Bubba Ho-Tep is pretty good too. I mean, Bruce Campbell and Don Coscarelli.
Bubba Ho-Tep is Oscar worthy.
Certainly better than anything James Cameron has done.
Maybe if The Terminator didn’t exist.
I’ve seen Bubba Ho-Tep on the tube (not Tubi).
I own Bubba Ho-tep on DVD.
Ah jeez, and Lifeforce. Grade A schlock of the kind you don’t see at the cinema anymore.
I’ve done about four hopping vampire films, because ONE IS NOT ENOUGH.
They’re probably interchangeable anyway.
*ducks*
JK, it was an… amusing diversion. Whichever one of them it was.
I’ll vouch for The Hebrew Hammer. It was great.
Judy Greer at her best.
Congrats on sticking with it.
I find these posts amusing.
So apparently “twerking for Jesus” is a thing now.
I’ll let you Google it yourself. Even I feel weird linking to that.
Pass.
That does not sound at all sacrilegious.
Excellent job, R. J! I had no idea it had already been a year. Thank you for your continued contribution!
Kentucky Fried Movie is a good flick. I’ll have to give that one another go later.
Congrats on the full year, R.J.
#metoo
I haven’t seen it since the early 80s.
Enjoy it before it’s memory holed:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYz00UQfiPk
LOL!
Best part is I don’t remember a goddamn thing about that movie.
How did I miss that week? I’ve been meaning to watch it forever.
You will cream in your jeans when you see
Best teaser ever written

That made me feel something.
Peak 70s creepy porn producer.
Yep. That dude is the one that invites you away from your friends at the pool party. Ask me how I know…
So, Eddie…
Haha yes.
What was that? This is not a chawade. We need total concentwation. Now twy it again, this time with feewing.

I’m not sure he ever actually watched the film (maybe just bits of it on late night) but my dad loved saying “Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death” with a certain glee
Me: “hey, Dad, I’m going to see The Godfather in the theater with some friends”
Dad: “Bet it’s not as good as Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death!”
I think it was throwing ‘avocado’ in there, made it delightfully absurd to him
Thanks for the reminder, RJ!
My favorite such over-the-top title (which I’ve probably mentioned at some point in the last year) is Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama – probably featured on USA Up All Night back in the day.
It’s on the year two list
🥳
When I was a kid, grade school age, I remember reading The Snark Out Boys and The Avocado of Death.
It was pretty absurd.
Thanks RJ for reawakening my love of the shlock.
You ate welcome!
Are welcome.
*sigh
Watching Murder Story with a distinguished Christopher Lee. Wonderful.
I am watching something modern and cheap called “Reptilian.” Sadly I cannot find the TV remote.
The effeminate English kid is the future Mr Allyson Hannigan. Whoa.
I had to go look up if they were still married (yes), 19 years. Not bad for Hollywood.
I’m going to work.
Someone alert Rufus.
Snapped this on the way home from the store a little bit ago. One of our trademark desert sunsets, combined with one of our trademark desert thunderstorms out on the horizon. In honor of the sunset falling on our first year of Glib Flicks. I gotta bookmark this article so I can come back and actually watch them some time.
Did you guys get the tequila sunrise a couple days ago? I know Potosi and Charleston are a big block for you all…it was awesome
We very well may have, but I’m fairly certain I was holed up staring at a computer screen so I’d have missed it anyway.
If you wouldn’t mind, could you send me the details on that position you’re hiring for as well? I’m trying to be out of this state by the time I get the probate wrapped up, but just idly curious.

Mine will be in the surveillance and automation disciplines once I request it.
“Technicians maintain and repair the following types of equipment: Airport Surveillance Radar, Air Route Surveillance Radar, Air Traffic Control Beacon Indicator, Airport Surface Detection Equipment, Terminal Doppler Weather Radar.”
We are a terminal site with one exception of maintaining equipment out at Grand Canyon, otherwise, all within 9 miles of the airport.
That’s cool. When you said fedgov I was thinking Nellis or nuke stuff (you’ll have to forgive me, I’ve been gone a while and utterly forgot what you and pretty much everyone else do for a living).
I like that we just HAD to rename McCarran International because Pat McCarran was such a dirty, dirty racisty racist. So we renamed it after… Harry fucking Reid
Yes, THAT Harry Reid
Yeah we really should have just gone with Vegas International – middle of the road, not political nonsense..but noooooo.
During the new tower here, Reid came cause it was his decades long crusade apparently. I was busy with electronics checkout and verification but he and his team caught me in the elevator. I never knew what the feeling of death touch you was until I shook his hand.
I’ve ridden an elevator with Andrew Cuomo.
*shudder*
Lol, I’m sorry you had to go through that.
Siegel International would have been good. If you’re going to name it after a criminal, make it one of the interesting ones.
I *hate* everything named after fucking politicians – the lowest creatures on earth.
Honestly, Goodman would have been the best choice if we are going to name it after a politician. He and his wife ran/run Vegas for what…23 years?
I am with rhy though…give it a damn generic name.
Thanks for doing this RJ. I have been exposed to quite a few movies I never even heard of.

I hate that fuckin thing.
Perfect, empty ESG symbol, though. “Brought to you by State Street Bank”

Just waiting for some parent to try to reproduce that tableau in Pamplona.
The guy in the photo ran for election to be the mayor of Portland in the early 1980s.
Can’t watch on Tubi, but it’s a fun theme. Thx RJ.
Ugh. I’m gonna get poked, prodded, hooked up to electric devices. have blood taken, be treated like livestock.
After that, I have to go to my darn annual health check.
Giggity.

I’m really glad you’ve done this, RJ. I’ve watched a few flicks I never would have picked on my own, but ended up really enjoying . And It turns out I like “arthouse” movies. Who knew?!
I hope you have it in you to do another 52.
No one ever has to question how many Firsts I have left in me. They know I’m going to bring it everyday, for the good of all The People and The Glibertariat.
Every day? Don’t you actually First about once a month?
Sure but it lasts for three or four days.
Aunt First
“I can’t, Aunt Bro is here for a visit.”
You owe me a sip of tequila for that
When I was about 12 I could First in my sleep.
Two breweries, 45 baskets of disc golf, and 15 gallons of gas. What a day. I hope all you Glibs had a good one.
Anyone here ever had the overwhelming urge to bag up some pet scat in paper bags to use as missiles against the speeders on your street? Little kids, dogs and cats. Our neighborhood is funny. It’s what you might call full of “starter homes”. Some of us have been here for decades but every five years or so the asshoes move in. We’re in the Asshoe blend right now. I shake my cane!
Wife’s suggestion: BB Gun from a concealed position. God I love that woman.
So inconsiderate and ignorant of the harm they might do. I’ve pulled more than one out of the ditch in front of the house. The parents have come by to give me dollars. I always demur. Live and learn you stupid little cocksucker. It’s not like I haven’t hit a ditch or three.
For the first couple years I lived here there was this twat that would wake me up every day gunning an ancient, fume-belching ATV down the street about 20 feet outside my window, in contravention of the HOA rules and the county traffic laws of the time (they’ve since repealed the prohibition on driving ATVs on public roads and highways in Nye county; the local Hispanic population is fond of using them in place of vehicles actually designed for road use). It was nice when he moved – now you can go outside and just enjoy the peace and tranquility of 300 dogs all barking simultaneously like a kennel and the wankstain who moved in next door to me a couple years ago pounding on the body of his truck 12 hours a day. I’d really like to know WTF he’s been hammering on for two years. I’m not joking or exaggerating in the slightest. 2 years, at least 5 days a week, several hours a day, metal-on-metal hammering, and the truck looks exactly the same as it did the day he moved in. I almost wonder if it’s like a fucking OCD thing.
Have you you thought about getting to know your neighbor?
I know his name is Eric, and we do the half head nod thing every once in a while if we’re both outdoors at the same time and accidentally make eye contact. That’s as much interaction as I desire to have with any neighbor, regardless of neighborhood.
This is a pet peeve of mine…people that insist on living in suburbs and towns, but complain about having neighbors. There’s a thing called “the country” where these annoyances are greatly minimized.
Certainly wasn’t my first choice, but when your budgetary constraints leave you with the house hunting criteria “Is not currently on fire”, you take what you can get. Living in the country isn’t an option for a lot of people with certain location-specific careers and so forth as well. There’s also the option of living in a neighborhood and just not being an obnoxious asshole, but few people seem willing or able to exercise that option.
Regardless, what’s wrong with a polite head-nod every couple months and otherwise leaving each other alone? I didn’t invite the guy to move in next door. I’m sure he’s got plenty of friends. It’s not like we tried out for a team together or something.
Didn’t intend this to be a personal attack. And yes, I understand jobs limit where a person can live.
I just don’t understand people purposely living in close proximity to each other without making efforts to be friendly. I guess it comes from my small town upbringing.
Oh I didn’t take it that way. I guess that came off more defensive on paper than it did in my head. I’m just a pretty private person and not very social. When I’m at home I usually just want to be by myself and not have there be any pressure to socialize, so I avoid becoming overly chummy with neighbors even if I like them.
When I was 12-ish years old we lived next to this terribly nice lady, a single mom with no boys, a little older than my parents. When she was having some medical problems I started mowing her lawn for her, then when winter hit I started shoveling her sidewalk and driveway, and then I just kept doing it after that to be nice and ended up doing that for about 3 years until we moved. But even then, I probably only spoke to her a dozen times or so that entire time.
That’s crazy talk.
His Wife is a bitch. One hand on the beer, the other on the hammer. So long as he is making noise. I know dudes like that. “Gonna go work on the boat for awhile, HunnyBunny!”
You’re probably right actually, as I’ve overhead him and his old lady having a good shouting match from time to time.
I have several employees that live there…and this is raising red flags for one of them
I’m fairly certain the guy’s on disability or something, I never see him leave at routine times. Plus anybody making enough money to commute to Vegas wouldn’t be living in my neighborhood.
That chick’s a keeper.
Still can’t figure RJ’s avatar.
It’s me, wearing a fez. My daughter took the picture.
Screw you guys, I’m going home.
Fucking Laster!
Got em!
How goes OBE? Back to the peon class yet?
No…though doing both jobs. Everything is good though. Moved back into my hidey hole office and give about two fucks on the management side.
Yeah, I’m still getting fucked around. Three months now.
You are playing with fire Festus. There will be no going back if you continue down this road. BE WARNED.
You are Sauron and I am Aragorn. The small-folk like me more than you. Kidding!
The walls are closing in!
Even six walls closing in from all sides aren’t fast enough to catch The First Of All Firsters, bearer of The First That Will Change Everything.
I’ll drop “The One Buttplug” into the furnace of fire. The ring will shrink and the First will become no more…
Lol
That’s fuckin’ deep.
Women try to turn the tables on men, oblivious to the fact that men would not give a shit in any of these scenarios.
It looks like those dudes are getting hit on.
Reminds me of the model that tried to extort money from Jaromir Jagr to keep a post-sex selfie off the internet, only for him to respond <a href="https://uproxx.com/sports/jaromir-jagr-model-blackmail-selfie/"I don't care.
I won’t be extorted about not closing tags either.
Morning, Glibs.

More sleeping issues?
Something like that.
How goes things in your neck of the woods?
Despite the gloom and doom of the news, I’ve got good things going on here.
How about you?
I keep vacillating between “My supervisor is ignoring my group to focus on his old job” and “My supervisor is intentionally trying to sideline me.”
Of course, he rarely speaks to anyone in the division, so that lends creedence to #1, but I’m also being left out of conversations on issues where I had been the primary point of contact. I gotta get out of here, this is diving me paranoid.
I need more caffiene. I looked at the computer clock and wondered “how did it get to be 9:18 already?” before I started to fret the implications I blinked and it was 5:18.
I’d be more worried about blacking out for 8 hours when I blinked.

SPloosh?
Mornin’ all. Gym time.
Good morning, DEG, rhy, Stinky, Sean, U, and RoaT!
Just have to suffer through about 20 more minutes of last week’s recorded Board meeting to finish drafting the minutes. Then I may have to re-send a link to a document we need all employees and Board members to complete and sign electronically – got about 30 stragglers, so this time I’ll include painstaking step-by-step instructions complete with screen shots. 🙄 The good news is that both bosses are going on vacation – the big guy is already gone, and my boss will leave early this afternoon. 🥳💃🏼
Morning.
I get to excavate my email inbox for data, and write out firewall rules so that the vendor can access stuff and not other stuff.
I am a notorious email hoarder. I almost never delete anything unless some IT person complains. I suppose I should at least clean out some of the outright commercial junk at some point – I don’t really need all those marketing messages from Office Depot or Land’s End…
Mornin’, GT. Checked my work inbox this morning and was surprised to see an invite to Microsoft Teams from “Microsoft Dave”. Hmm, we don’t use Microsoft Teams, but I do work with a guy named Dave so I’d better click on that… NOOOOOO!!!
So, you need to send $500 in gift cards to some guy in India to get your desktop unlocked now?
*checks Outlook*
Work inbox: 19,503
Personal inbox: 7,305
I rarely sub folder.
I can’t give you an accurate count of my inbox because the system we’ve got doesn’t keep everything local.
Still, I gotta call you a lightweight, for Outlook says I have 65,833 local items in my inbox alone (subfolders not counted) 3 unread.
I lost an awful lot on that malfunctioning thumb drive I mentioned recently. About 11 years worth.
*sad trombone*
No other backups?!
Nope.
Woot! I found a relatively recent email chain where we were discussing the very thing I needed.
AAAAAAAND the big news flash on the home page of the local TV news powerhouse station:
Right smack dab in the middle of my commute route. 😣
WFH?
Not an option for me – I could probably access the recorded Board meeting and my drafted-so-far minutes, but it would be hard to get the CU’s mail forwarded to my house at the last minute. Luckily, I know some surface street routes if the traffic SNAFU is still an issue by the time I need to leave.
😕
Divert to local diner for leisurely breakfast while they clean up the mess.
👍🏼🥓🍳🥐☕
Thumbs up – Escalator – magnifying glass – yellow crab – hot cocoa
Not sure what to make of that.
It means your diner is architecturally and culinarily deficient.
What do you have against the Cocoacrab? Other than the giant hole that used to lead to the second floor?
I thought it meant he needs to see an eye doctor.
Hey 4×20, can we camp at your place? Or motel it?
I want to come up Saturday and explore.
Mornin’, reprobates.
Survived my mid-year performance review, mid-year bonus coming soon which will help offset the cost of upcoming dental work. Speaking of which, I am out of percocet and am still feeling the effects of Saturday’s extraction. I don’t think this is a good thing, will be calling the dentist later this morning.
Good morning, ‘patzie! I’m so sorry your mouth still hurts, 😟
I recently had my performance review. I hate the self-evaluation system. You tell me what is expected and then tell me how I did.
What did you do well? I completed the work assigned to me.
What can you improve? I can complete more work assigned to me.
You tell me what is expected and then tell me how I did
That is actually pretty much how it went. I can’t complain.
I’m a supervisor, so I also have the line of “Made sure my direct reports completed the work I assigned to them”
Oh wait, I haven’t had an evaluation in four supervisors.
I had 3 subs. It was like herding cats.
My review was positive. My complaint was the lack of explicit expectations. In the past I had goals from my supervisor so I knew what was expected. Instead it was “sell yourself”. Performance reviews shouldn’t be a job interview.
We have to write our own goals and only then the boss swoops in and tells you what your goals really are.
🙄
My primary goal is to remain employed. Now boss, you tell me how to achieve that goal.
I refuse to sell myself.
Probably why I bomb job interviews. I’m hoping my current supervisor of all of two months now doesn’t realize I’m technically on probation in my current title so I can run out the clock and get confirmed as permanant without any evaluations being done.
*Note – not mentioned in my article on the civil service system is that each time you get a new title you have to go through probation again, regardless of performance. If you don’t pass instead of leaving the workforce you just go back to your old job.
Blecch.

WooHoo! The task I feared would take too long is done a half hour into the workday!
So… do I get to hide for the rest of the day?
Grab a clipboard and wander around the rest of the day “auditing.”
It’s a Friday, there is going to be nobody else in the office. (One of the reasons I opted for fridays as in-office days)
That is a good call.
Does Hunter Biden have an advice column?
“Dear Hunter: It’s Friday, I have no work to do, and I have the office all to myself. What would you do?”
I would also pick Friday if I had 1 in and 4 out. If reversed I would pick Wednesday.
You’ve got to hide!
You should reach out to DEG, if you’re planning on going to the Polish Festival.
We’re looking at 9/3.
I may not be able to make it. Mrs. Patzer can barely move right now, unless she improves by next week I won’t be going anywhere.
What’s wrong?
Not sure. Takes several minutes to go from seated to standing, accompanied by much grief. Then after standing, can barely walk. Doc suspects a torn muscle, MRI later today.

Doylestown, PA
In an odd coincidence, it turns out that the manager who gave me my review yesterday lives in New Hope, right up the road from Doylestown. Pretty decent guy.
