Just call me. For the rest of the day today if you call me I'll tell you how long (in your area, I can add and subtract) how long you have to wait until Syfy premieres tonight's movie event, Mega Python v. Gatoroid.
(If you're waiting for the premiere of Mega Pine-Sol vs. Gatoraid, however, you need to call someone else.)
What's my number? Uh, 737. Yeah, just dial 737 from anywhere in the world and I'll pick up. Sure.
Anyway, the braintrust at Syfy really gets it when it comes to these movies, tongue is firmly planted in cheek and the stars come out. Which stars? The stars of my high school pop soundtrack, of course, Tiffany and Deborah Gibson. And you can hear them talk about this movie and their pasts in the interview clip from Syfy I posted after the jump along with a trailer for the movie.
AND ... Mickey Dolenz, as himself, apparently only for a short time as I've been informed that he meets a tragic end in this. What? You're not surprised about that? Or you don't know who Mickey Dolenz is? You're so young, he was one of The Monkees.
Directed by Mary Lambert (Pet Sematary) and written my Naomi Selfman, this is a pretty estrogenic production for a way-out-there science fiction monsterfest. Selfman is also the writer of Mega Shark vs. Crocosaurus so she has experience in writing for mega animals. And her other films include 18 Year Old Virgin and #1 Cheerleader Camp so ... uh ... there should be plenty of trashy fun.
Yes, including a catfight between our leads ("Somebody has bitch for breakfast"). You may have already seen parts of it but just for kicks you can click here for some of that girl-on-girl you just gotta have.
Sure, some of you are laughing, but ... (NY Times):
Routinely high ratings have helped make the movies an indispensable part of the Syfy schedule. An average of two million people watch, according to Nielsen, with some of the movies (“Pterodactyl,” “Dragon Storm”) attracting more than three million, on par with Syfy’s biggest hit series, “Warehouse 13” and “Eureka.” The Saturday night mayhem also fits snugly with the channel’s effort to broaden beyond science fiction. In 2009 the channel re-branded itself Syfy (dropping the Sci Fi Channel name) in a bid to capture the full landscape of fantasy entertainment: the paranormal, the supernatural, action and adventure, superheroes. Recent movies have tackled unexplained phenomena (“Stonehenge Apocalypse”), furry beasts (“Red: Werewolf Hunter”) and horrific experiments with nature (“Mega Piranha.”)
And now click over the jump for some interviewy stuff and a trailer. Tonight at 9 on Syfy.
