Alpha Video (oldies.com) has released another tip-top set of "Mr. Lobo's Cinema Insomnia" DVD releases.
Roger Corman/Jack Hill's "The Wasp Woman" is hands down the greatest "misunderstood" feminist flick of all time, with tragic starlet Susan Cabot playing a former model/cosmetic exec whose procurement of a Fountain of Youth formula exudes stinging side effects. The monstrous results at least empower her to challenge her male detractors, one of whom is portrayed by fantastic-film veteran, Anthony "Fred" Eisley. Mr. Lobo's buzzing bridges give this drive-in classic a nestful of linking levity.
In addition to "Wasp Woman", Mr. Lobo hosts a chunk of re-edited Soviet footage (from "Planeta Bur") for "Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet", which includes substantial visits by Basil Rathbone and Faith Domergue, thanks to Curtis Harrington's inserts.
Not only is "Voyage" a quasi-Soviet counterpart to "Forbidden Planet", it spews a steady stream of off-the-cuff psychedelia. Indeed, one needn't pop any strange pills to get into the far-out, Venusian vibe. Mr. Lobo's riotous reflections and related delights (abetted by cohost Robot 74) rocket this UHF staple to comical, cosmic heights.
