I’m from Montana, and there was this bar on the road to town that literally had dozens of “hippie scalps” (ponytails) all over a wall, I saw it once when I was a little kid and my dad and uncles have talked about it before, joked how it wasn’t a safe place for “long-hairs.” (hippies)
Once upon a time during an Easter dinner with my family, I asked my grandfather how he had been doing; he looked me dead in the face and responded, "back in my day we called guys with *long hair* _faqqots,"_ then continued to eat without acknowledging me the rest of the evening. That was 20 years ago, and the man never spoke to me nor saw me again the rest of his life, all because I had long hair and he made faulty assumptions based on his thinking that was stuck in the 50's. Different times, different people.
I have 6 friends that all have claimed to be recovering Catholics since 2000, and i first heard that term used in 2004 while working with them at wal mart,.. aside from that,. you are correct, the recovering catholic is comedy gold,.. but you should get to know the actual recovering Catholics to make the inside joke even more funny it's a riot
What is funny is that Mark has said in the past that he had a Catholic upbringing and when to those types of schools, so, when he said that, I was shocked and took me a minute to laugh even when he looked serious if that is what he wrote. LOL
Honestly I'm at the point in my life and retail job that if a group of strange teems came up and gave me a drink, I'd drink it and just hope it was spiked...
I got spiked once, with some gade a ching. I was raging not cos I was spiked, just he didn't let me know so I could enjoy it. Try taking grade a without knowing...you think you're dying 😆
Hey! Don't knock stoned doctors. The doc that removed my appendix did a great job. Granted he was supposed to be removing my gall bladder, but he still did a great job with the appendix. I have no doubt had he removed the gall bladder it would have been an excellent job!
The Cath-a-holic/Catholic joke is one of those jokes where, after you've heard it, you can't believe you haven't before. I guess what I'm saying is I'll be stealing that joke and pretending I came up with it myself, cramming it into conversations as soon as possible.
a road trip movie about a priest who's lost his way and his journey back to the church wouldn't be a bad movie if you sat down and worked out all the symbolism, metaphors, and allegory as long as it didn't beat you over the head with it. it would probably be more of a philosophical horror flick.
This channel is what I need. 16:40 wasn't there in the 70s, but my old man told me a story similar to this once. He was stopped at a red light, some clean-cut guys pulled up next to him and stopped. They saw that my old man had long hair, and started cursing at him and throwing stuff at his car. Weird story.
Um, Bob Segar even talked about people like that during that time period having long hair and they said all these comments about the long hair: "Its that a girl or a man!" My dad whom also lived that time period came out of the Army and was so upset with his experience in the Army and in Nam that he grew his hair out and a beard. He has mentioned over the decades that if you had long hair and a beard that you did not go into certain places where everyone was clean cut. Also, most of those types of people hung out at the same places like in Chicago a place called the Fat Black Pussy Cat that unfortunately the Chicago Police looked for any excuse to close for that reason as well. One night a crime occurred down the street and they claimed the crime occurred inside and outside of the bar. They used that excuse to close that bar, forever. So, I do not doubt that clean cut conservatives of that time did cause fights over long haired and bearded men for looking like a woman even with a beard. See, back then, only women had long hair and the conservatives knew it was a front to their way of life for a man that was doing a 24/7 protest against their ways of life. I have seen movies made by people of that generation in the 90's where someone would say to a person with long hair and a beard to clean up your act and that meant to shave and get a haircut, as well as get yourself a job in a factory. It was their way of being nice with out the comments and the fighting. So, ya, it most likely happened.
Even in the 90ies having long hair was considered rebellious and nonconformist. I had a classmate who had it and he was asked to cut it short. I met a guy at the university who cut his hair for his entry exams to make a better impression.
@@454brianbat Guess all those conservatives were right. We let long hair slide, and now we have rainbow colored hair, tattoos and piercings and ear-stretchers up the wazoo considered as normal. Pretty soon people will be having plastic surgery to turn themselves into hermaphrodite dragon-people and tiger-men like those two idiots and then that will be normal too...
@@SwiftNimblefoot I just never could get over them all having pictures of a long haired, bearded guy all over their houses. I figured if long hair worked for the Son of God, then it must be ok.
That doesn't make any sense like man, should he remove his heart from his thoracic cavity wouldn't he die? Why would he want'a place his heart in a campfire kit? C'mon man give me a break! Firstly, he'd have to perform a thoracotomy to gain access to his heart. The carefully remove his heart from his thoracic cavity.

Now his Soul, I'm not personally licensed to remove Souls however I'm currently enrolled in an online community college course to become a licensed & registered Exorcist.

I've heard you're not supposed to rinse after brushing because it rinses all the flouride and stuff off your teeth from the toothpaste. The flouride keeps doing it's thing after you stop brushing.
Oh no my friend, cupping it with your hands is a twofer. You wash your hands AND wash your mouth out. You must think you're better than me huh? But I do that too so yeah... I won't tolerate being called a "poor" tho from another "poor" that's "poorer" than me you porridge poor person...
I really like Mark's work. I just wish he would play more of the original content's audio. There's so much humour in the dialogue and sound of these terrible films but it's almost constant narration.
Two things, Mark: - I do hand-cupping all my life. - After watching this episode, I threw a baby-delivery catalogue in my car glove compartment just in case. Great show, please do more.👍
Amazing film choice. I recall a few odd hippie films when I was a kid in the ‘60’s. That line read for, “Cathoholic…(checks script)…Catholic,” was super funny. You’re a cool guy, Mark!
What an interesting question. I’ll be honest, I don’t use a cup or my hand, I just put my mouth under the running tap. It’s not weird. I don’t touch the tap, I just catch the water. If anything it’s even quicker than cupping your hand to catch the water. Wow. Such sharing :)
You gotta get your entire mouth over the spout and get it all the way to the back of your throat for the optimal water fountain drinking speedrun strats.
It always makes me laugh without fail, when you say, "welcome back TO! the show." Simple pleasures are what it's all about. 😊 Lol, a cup of water to rinse? I swear that thought has never occurred to me. 😂
Yes, and I always laugh throughout the entirety of his reviews. Mark is such a riot and a good comedic writer as well. His videos always put me in a good mood.
This Movie was way ahead of its time, bad camera direction, a faked acid trip, nothing interesting happening... everything screams "Vlog Channel" to me lol
I watched this with my dad years ago. He was a teen in the sixties and seventies. When it got to the bar scene, my dad said "Now you know what I had to deal with as a kid."
I knew a kid in school who drank half a bottle of cough medicine once and got high. The guy was seeing squirrels with highlights and dinosaurs eating dinosaurs outside the classroom window.
"Tripping Balls" sounds like a good name for a bad movie. I think Mark has enough experience to cut himself into his own bad movie. He could edit clips from Samurai Cop, Champagne and Bullets and Miami Connection together and get something more cognitive than the original movies. He could easily get creative with the edits and have Samurai Cop talking to the guys from Miami Connection. These movies are all 80's and all revolve around good guy heroes taking on the drug cartels. The heavy lifting is already done. Even if it's done in small increments of 10 minute episodes. I hope you read this mark.
I think it's a great name for a larpers "weapon" that's just a jar of marbles or ball bearings. "They aren't marbles...they're tripping balls." Like that Woody Harrelson movie where he plays an autistic guy who actually goes out and gets in fights with criminals, and he has glass jars full of bees that he throws at ppl. He uses marbles too lol. Amazing movie, it was called Defendor. *It's rated R btw. He smashes faces in with a trench club, so it's not a "superhero" movie at all.
John, the man with the dollar-store Kyle MacLachlan haircut, takes a sip of acid-soda and immediately renounces his faith (all the years at priest school put to good use). He meets a 45 year old woman, who had her first bad trip when she was 15 (already looking like 45, mind you). Together they encounter a pregnant woman on the side of the road, but luckily the 45 year old knows that a doctor is chilling beside a van only a few miles up the road ... "You know, two years ago Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper made a profound movie about drifting aimlessly through the west of the USA. That looked like a very easy project. I can do that" No, William Grefé, no, you can't ....
@@imaspoon4522 On the other hand, if you're into bad books as well as bad films... the novel is one of the worst written pieces of fiction I've ever seen outside a writing group.
Actually he already reviewed that, five years ago. He was a bit disappointed that it wasn't as bad as he expected. And that's because the writers and actors slightly improved on the source material.
Someone somewhere is watching this review and thinking, "Hey, that drugged out woman sitting at the back - isn't that aunt Sue?" I don't know about the US in 1970, but I do know in the UK it was rare to have a fight break out in a pub without some form of light banter beforehand, such as "Why you have long hair? You a girl? You a lady boy? We don't like poofters here in the Queen's Arms." Then they would wait for you to say something, take offense, and then the beating starts. The common exceptions to psyching up to a fight, were (1) Wearing the colors of the wrong team; (2) You bump someone or their table; and (3) You look at their girl, or their girl looks at you. Just attacking someone without some form of perceived provocation was almost unheard of. There are rules you know.
You forgot the usual one, "Wot you staring at?" - that covers about anything, except when your eyes are closed. Very useful line for starting punch ups.
I had a rather tough Native friend in Northern AZ who loved to brawl with the stiff hat and big belt buckle set. He'd side up to one of their country fried blondie girlfriends and inquire; _"Got any Indian in you?"_ If the answer was, "No, ..." he'd follow with; _"Want some?"_ If the answer was, "Yes, a little on my Grandmother's side (or similar reply) He'd say; _"Want some more?"_ Never failed to cause some excitement.
A cup never even entered into my mind. Like...yeah...I had the little wax paper cups when I was a kid, but those are childish and adults use their cupped hands like our ancient ancestors intended!
Hand cupper right here! Oh, and loved your "Recovering Cathaholic" line, nice one. This movie was to Easy Rider what Carnosaur was to Jurassic Park. Actually, if I could submit a suggestion for a future movie to review, it would definitely be Carnosaur. The jokes would practically write themselves, I'm sure!
I second the hand cup. Hand cupping rules! And yes my grandfather hated hippy hair, he'd never go punch someone but he would always grumble under his breath when he saw a guy with long hair LOL!
I had a trip at Goldbug Hot Springs in Idaho many years ago that would make a way better movie than this. It included naked hippies, one of my friends trying to call his dad to tell him we were on hallucinogens, being lost in a town with a single road, and a semi-nude fist fight on the side of a highway. It was kind of like a Neil Breen film, only it involved fewer drugs and lacked an Alien Cyber Jesus. No, we did not get arrested. Yes, I would do it again.
I have to keep a cup in the bathroom for friends who need to use it as a bidet. But I'm so glad he asked about tooth-brushing, because I've perfected it. Instead of cupping my hands and sipping like a dog-or tilting my head all the way over into the faucet flow-I half-tip my head, and form my hand into a gutter that flows into my mouth. You're welcome.
Dentists recommend that (at least every once in a while) after using fluoride toothpaste before going to sleep, you _don't_ rinse it from your mouth. It'll form a protective film on your teeth which will make it extra difficult for bacteria to cause decay. So neither mug nor handcup here. 😎
You're not supposed to rinse toothpaste - just spit out the excess. Leave it to keep the fluoride and stuff on your teeth. But if I did rinse, I brush in the shower, so I wouldn't have to use hands OR a cup, I guess...
Mark, I am a hand cupper as well. I always have been. Funny story, though, my first therapist told me that one thing she found out about her husband after they got married was that he treats the faucet like a drinking fountain and does it THAT way. The way she told the story of when she first saw it was hilarious.
As far as your drug question, there's the old saying "First one's free..." And multiple sources say that Mama Cass used to keep LSD in a necklace pill box that she'd hand out to people she thought needed it. Hippies getting beat up by strangers was as common as gays being beat up in bars.
Continuing with the psychedelic theme I highly recommend: Brain Damage is a 1988 American comedy horror film directed by Frank Henenlotter. We were going to watch brain scan but my friend accidently got this one instead from block buster. Turns out to be quite the gem.
*"There's only so much cancer research you can do living in a van in the middle of nowhere."* Don't be so cynical Mark. I developed the world's most advanced proton therapy for prostate cancer while living in a 1968 VW camper bus outside Black Rock City while tripping on acid at Burning Man 1993. So there.
What's the point of cancer research? According to Neil Breen, cancer and all other known diseases were cured 75 years ago and are being hidden. Just give up and lie on the desert.
With the news constantly hammering us with awful stories I look forward to every one of your amazing video’s. Keep up your awesome work. Thank you for making me laugh
I'm a hand-cupper and I am NOT ashamed, it makes me feel close to nature and the universe. I also two handed-cup splashing water on my face...Its so clean feeling and refreshing...sure there are leeches sometimes but they gotta live too...
Yeah...late 60's- early 70's concert videos are hard to watch because every camera operator thought they were being "edgy". They ruined many legendary performances that way🙄🤬
The iconic 60s song "Get Together" by the Youngbloods was thought to be inspired by the assassination of Robert Kennedy because it was released after he was killed. But it actually came about when the band was on tour and they stopped at roadside place to eat and almost got into a fight with locals because they didn't like the band's hippy hair and look. And of course there's Charlie Daniels' tale in "Uneasy Rider".
That tungsten light film makes it all look cool and Siri for vagabonds makes the ride trippier. That Mark diatribe about S’mores in front of the fire… priceless. Handcup… for sure I get my ass kicked every time I go out because I cut my own hair and “they” don’t like it. “They” think I’m paranoid, but I blame it on the drugs my “friends” put in my drinks.
Thanks for welcoming me back TO the show again, always appreciate that. Just wondering, have you seen the movie "Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death"? It's a bad movie and would certainly qualify for this show, but it's not terrible. I actually got a couple of laughs out of it (and there aren't heaps of awkward sex scenes like a Breen film)
I would love to see you review the 1967 PSA film Narcotics: Pit of Despair . My dad was actually shown this in school in the 60s to warn him and his fellow middle schoolers about the evils of pot.
Dude... Ive been watching Mark for a while now and I cant believe he hasnt blown up yet... I seriously love his humor and he really knows how to make you sit and listen to his opinions... God bless this man!
Well done Mark, that was funny and informative. Was that a set of Funk and Wagnalls on the shelf of the investigator hired to find the girl? P.S. Hand-cupping is the way to go.
Driving along and finding a pregnant woman at the side of the road out of nowhere $5 Delivering a baby on a van by a total stranger $0 The stoner doctor laughing maniacally like a saturday morning cartoon villian. Priceless!
Wow, this film totally doesn't feel like a really late, equally lame and totally clueless attempt to cash in on hippie culture. I expected more from the man who made "Sting of Death".
I love The psychedelic priest so much. Your reciew was on point hilarious. Im a new subscriber dude🙋. Actually this film helped me when i first watched it in 2003. Its on the road documentary feel and trippy vignettes are calming to me.
Older people and younger short-haired thugs physically attacking "hippies" ---- any young person with long hair ---- was VERY common. I witnessed it many times. The actual subculture of "hippies" was actually small ---- a few thousand people, mostly concentrated in tiny enclaves like Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco and Yorkville in Toronto. But to most adults any kid with long hair was perceived as a "hippy". I know it's hard for people today to understand it, but hatred and violence against anyone with long hair was very common for a period of about five years, and only gradually faded away. I remember walking into a restaurant in Toronto with three friends. We were all bookish, nerdy teenagers with glasses, etc., but one of our number had SLIGHTLY long hair. The owner of the restaurant took one look at us and started screaming "Filthy HIPPIES!!! Get out of here!". And that was in mild-mannered Toronto, where this kind of hatred was merely vocal and not usually involved actual violence. But in the U.S., violence against any young person with long hair was very common. If you had long hair and wandered into some small town, the local "tough guys" would try to egg you into a fight, circle around you and beat the crap out of you. The people doing it were exactly the same kind of people that you find going to Trump rallies today ---- or the sinister thugs that were the "enforcers" scattered among the useful idiots in the Karen Karavan here in Canada. In the late 1970's, there was a resurgence of this stuff in the U.K.... young racist "skinheads" wore heavy boots with steel toes which they called "hippy kickers", which they used exactly for that purpose.
That's fucked up. It reminds me a lot of the type of violence gay people face today. Sad to see that not much has changed. It's just a different group being targeted. Regardless, I kind of find it interesting in a way that men with long hair were seen as a bad thing considering the style became a lot more popular in the 80s-90s.
I never even considered an alternative to hand-cupping. It’s clearly the best method.
This is the way.
I’ve been a hand-cupper my whole life, but I recently bought a stack of teeny weeny Dixie cups to replace the hand. They sit next to the sink unused.

These movies are all 80's and all revolve around good guy heroes taking on the drug cartels. The heavy lifting is already done. Even if it's done in small increments of 10 minute episodes. I hope you read this mark.
I fully support and stand by this concept. \m/
"Kung Pow", for action movies, with Mark?!? Sign me up!
I think it's a great name for a larpers "weapon" that's just a jar of marbles or ball bearings. "They aren't marbles...they're tripping balls."
Like that Woody Harrelson movie where he plays an autistic guy who actually goes out and gets in fights with criminals, and he has glass jars full of bees that he throws at ppl. He uses marbles too lol. Amazing movie, it was called Defendor.
*It's rated R btw. He smashes faces in with a trench club, so it's not a "superhero" movie at all.
@@aikisteven0616 Literally first thing I thought of, Kung Pow.
I'm game!
Bump
This time I have to give extra credit to Mark because it must have been incredibly hard to make a funny review for such a boring film.
John, the man with the dollar-store Kyle MacLachlan haircut, takes a sip of acid-soda and immediately renounces his faith
(all the years at priest school put to good use).
He meets a 45 year old woman, who had her first bad trip when she was 15 (already looking like 45, mind you).
Together they encounter a pregnant woman on the side of the road, but luckily the 45 year old knows that a doctor is chilling beside a van only a few miles up the road ...
"You know, two years ago Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper made a profound movie about drifting aimlessly through the west of the USA.
That looked like a very easy project. I can do that"
No, William Grefé, no, you can't ....
When I saw "Shades of Grey" on the notification, I thought Mark was gonna review that romance thriller movie.
Me too, I'm happy to be wrong.
@@imaspoon4522 On the other hand, if you're into bad books as well as bad films... the novel is one of the worst written pieces of fiction I've ever seen outside a writing group.
Actually he already reviewed that, five years ago. He was a bit disappointed that it wasn't as bad as he expected. And that's because the writers and actors slightly improved on the source material.
@@lmabacus404 I bet I watched that and it just slipped my mind...
Someone somewhere is watching this review and thinking, "Hey, that drugged out woman sitting at the back - isn't that aunt Sue?"
I don't know about the US in 1970, but I do know in the UK it was rare to have a fight break out in a pub without some form of light banter beforehand, such as "Why you have long hair? You a girl? You a lady boy? We don't like poofters here in the Queen's Arms." Then they would wait for you to say something, take offense, and then the beating starts. The common exceptions to psyching up to a fight, were (1) Wearing the colors of the wrong team; (2) You bump someone or their table; and (3) You look at their girl, or their girl looks at you. Just attacking someone without some form of perceived provocation was almost unheard of. There are rules you know.
You forgot the usual one, "Wot you staring at?" - that covers about anything, except when your eyes are closed. Very useful line for starting punch ups.
I had a rather tough Native friend in Northern AZ who loved to brawl with the stiff hat and big belt buckle set.
He'd side up to one of their country fried blondie girlfriends and inquire; _"Got any Indian in you?"_ If the answer was, "No, ..." he'd follow with; _"Want some?"_
If the answer was, "Yes, a little on my Grandmother's side (or similar reply) He'd say; _"Want some more?"_
Never failed to cause some excitement.
A cup never even entered into my mind. Like...yeah...I had the little wax paper cups when I was a kid, but those are childish and adults use their cupped hands like our ancient ancestors intended!
When John gets to hospital he’s just confused because it’s not a van on the side of the road. Also I am team hand-cupping !!
Hand cupper right here! Oh, and loved your "Recovering Cathaholic" line, nice one. This movie was to Easy Rider what Carnosaur was to Jurassic Park. Actually, if I could submit a suggestion for a future movie to review, it would definitely be Carnosaur. The jokes would practically write themselves, I'm sure!
That line WAS Awesome!!
I second the hand cup. Hand cupping rules! And yes my grandfather hated hippy hair, he'd never go punch someone but he would always grumble under his breath when he saw a guy with long hair LOL!
I had a trip at Goldbug Hot Springs in Idaho many years ago that would make a way better movie than this. It included naked hippies, one of my friends trying to call his dad to tell him we were on hallucinogens, being lost in a town with a single road, and a semi-nude fist fight on the side of a highway. It was kind of like a Neil Breen film, only it involved fewer drugs and lacked an Alien Cyber Jesus.
No, we did not get arrested. Yes, I would do it again.
LOL, that story made my day 🤣. Thanks Mark!
@@LwJohnL I always knew the experience would eventually be worthwhile 😂
What a story, Mark!
@@blujaebird 😂 It must’ve been Guerrero Street.
I haven't done that once, but it sounds interesting to try
Keeping a cup in the bathroom sounds like a great way to collect bacteria and other poop related particles
I used to keep a glass in the bathroom: 1980s 1990s. It's good for mouthwash, hydrogen peroxide.
I have to keep a cup in the bathroom for friends who need to use it as a bidet. But I'm so glad he asked about tooth-brushing, because I've perfected it.
Instead of cupping my hands and sipping like a dog-or tilting my head all the way over into the faucet flow-I half-tip my head, and form my hand into a gutter that flows into my mouth. You're welcome.
Twentieth Century bathroom fixtures often included a cup holder or small shelf alongside the sink.
Dentists recommend that (at least every once in a while) after using fluoride toothpaste before going to sleep, you _don't_ rinse it from your mouth. It'll form a protective film on your teeth which will make it extra difficult for bacteria to cause decay. So neither mug nor handcup here. 😎
That!
I never rinse the toothpaste out. I’ve got terrible teeth! 😄
Just drink tap water throughout the day. Lots of fluoride in it supposedly added for our teeth health.
@@JohnS-il1dr in the USA at least
The Catholic joke was just brilliant.
And your movie cameo was perfect.
Every time mark sees a movie in theaters he must have overwhelming joy when it’s good after seeing all the bad movies
You fooled me at at first, MARK. I had to look twice and really listen to notice it was you. Your cameos are getting more convincing.
Drugs in movies: This movie
Drugs in real life: 48 hour binge of sorting Magic the Gathering cards by their colour and mana cost.
You're not supposed to rinse toothpaste - just spit out the excess. Leave it to keep the fluoride and stuff on your teeth. But if I did rinse, I brush in the shower, so I wouldn't have to use hands OR a cup, I guess...
you dont want to swallow the fluoride
For me this is one of the best channels on youtube, I really wish he had more subscribers.
I just drink from the water tap directly.... great show as usual!
Mark, I am a hand cupper as well. I always have been. Funny story, though, my first therapist told me that one thing she found out about her husband after they got married was that he treats the faucet like a drinking fountain and does it THAT way. The way she told the story of when she first saw it was hilarious.
As far as your drug question, there's the old saying "First one's free..." And multiple sources say that Mama Cass used to keep LSD in a necklace pill box that she'd hand out to people she thought needed it.
Hippies getting beat up by strangers was as common as gays being beat up in bars.
Please don't refer to gay people as 'gays'.
@@outlawscar3328 The Flintstones had a 'gay old time'.

Thank you for welcoming us back, Mark!
Glad to be a member of the early access club now. Your videos are amazing.
I love when you edit yourself into these scenes. You crack me up man🤣
Personally, I just fling my head under the running water and slurp it up. No hands required, no cups needed.
"Not dead, because his spirit is alive. "....and that type of shit. Comedy gold!
Continuing with the psychedelic theme I highly recommend: Brain Damage is a 1988 American comedy horror film directed by Frank Henenlotter. We were going to watch brain scan but my friend accidently got this one instead from block buster. Turns out to be quite the gem.
*"There's only so much cancer research you can do living in a van in the middle of nowhere."*
Don't be so cynical Mark. I developed the world's most advanced proton therapy for prostate cancer while living in a 1968 VW camper bus outside Black Rock City while tripping on acid at Burning Man 1993. So there.
Pics or it didn't happen
And don't forget, our savior Neil Breen solved all of the world's problems living in a van eating only tuna.
What's the point of cancer research? According to Neil Breen, cancer and all other known diseases were cured 75 years ago and are being hidden. Just give up and lie on the desert.

Been a hand-cupper my entire life, dude. I'm also a direct soap-to-skin guy, not a fan of washcloths.
How could the Oscar’s of missed this film
With the news constantly hammering us with awful stories I look forward to every one of your amazing video’s. Keep up your awesome work. Thank you for making me laugh
I'm a hand-cupper and I am NOT ashamed, it makes me feel close to nature and the universe. I also two handed-cup splashing water on my face...Its so clean feeling and refreshing...sure there are leeches sometimes but they gotta live too...
Yeah...late 60's- early 70's concert videos are hard to watch because every camera operator thought they were being "edgy". They ruined many legendary performances that way🙄🤬
And then came Gordon Willis.
Some of the performances were also not very legendary. Some drugs are not performance enhancing. Some bands were so strung out they could barely play.
@@thursoberwick1948 .....Very true. Maybe that's why modern day mush mouth mumble rappers suck so bad?
@@Trashslayer76 Definitely, and also because if anyone tells them to pronounce stuff more clearly they take affront!
4:32 I love how you are a fountain of knowledge about movie production.
Wow! Who could have predicted that people high on drugs aren't that good at acting (unless their names are Dennis Hopper or Peter Fonda or something)?
I just got home and i have a really upset stomach so this is a great way to recover thank you for making these fantastic videos ❤️
The iconic 60s song "Get Together" by the Youngbloods was thought to be inspired by the assassination of Robert Kennedy because it was released after he was killed.
But it actually came about when the band was on tour and they stopped at roadside place to eat and almost got into a fight with locals because they didn't like the band's hippy hair and look. And of course there's Charlie Daniels' tale in "Uneasy Rider".
Uneasy Rider?
@@dubuyajay9964 it's a great song about a hippy going to California whose car breaks down in Jackson Mississippi. Hilarious.
That tungsten light film makes it all look cool and Siri for vagabonds makes the ride trippier. That Mark diatribe about S’mores in front of the fire… priceless.
Handcup… for sure
I get my ass kicked every time I go out because I cut my own hair and “they” don’t like it. “They” think I’m paranoid, but I blame it on the drugs my “friends” put in my drinks.
Thanks for welcoming me back TO the show again, always appreciate that.
Just wondering, have you seen the movie "Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death"? It's a bad movie and would certainly qualify for this show, but it's not terrible. I actually got a couple of laughs out of it (and there aren't heaps of awkward sex scenes like a Breen film)
I'm hand cup gang for brushing teeth too btw lol
I remember that film, written and directed by J.F. Lawton who wrote the script "Pretty Woman" in 1990.
I’ll take a look, thanks!
Mark as a hippie is pure gold
That Catholic joke made me laugh so much harder than it should 😂
I would love to see you review the 1967 PSA film Narcotics: Pit of Despair . My dad was actually shown this in school in the 60s to warn him and his fellow middle schoolers about the evils of pot.
I stick my head under the faucet like a civilized person.
This is your best work so far. Those cameos had me going into what I can only describe as laugh induced seizures.
I get water with my manos! 🤲
Please don’t ever stop Mark!
And hand cup gang for life, it’s never even crossed my mind to use a cup in my 36yrs on this big blue marble.
Mouth into the stream of water for rinsing, totally hands free
Ah the contortionist
When you said we're half way in "things have got to start getting better at some point"..I literally lol'd
It's like my 7th grade health teacher said, if you do LSD, a woman will fall in love with you and then run off and die.
I hate it when that happens, because I can't tell if Lady Acid was real or not. Should I go look for her? What if she isn't real?
A wise woman
Dude... Ive been watching Mark for a while now and I cant believe he hasnt blown up yet... I seriously love his humor and he really knows how to make you sit and listen to his opinions... God bless this man!
Properly primed from saint paddy's day and ready to laugh.
this movie feels like in the same lines of the hand of manos. your background music adds to the entertainment value. feels like a fever dream
At least you made the film interesting, the film had no part in that. Thanks Mark.
I wish you would do a compilation of just your skits. 11:30 is hilarious!
The green screen inclusion in this one had me dead😂 I thought you were actually one of the actors with that horrible wig 😅
Same! When he sits by the fire at that awkward timing i seriously believed that could be the next event in this movie.
Need MORE WMWM... At least 1-2 per week. Also, need more recent movies please Mark lol. LOVE this channel!
Cops in plain clothes in a two door car?
That's goofy even for 1971. Remote areas have sheriffs and deputies.
Keep doing what you're doing Mark, it gets better and better. I'm a hand cup guy myself.
Well done Mark, that was funny and informative. Was that a set of Funk and Wagnalls on the shelf of the investigator hired to find the girl?
P.S. Hand-cupping is the way to go.
That last zoom shot under the end credits is seriously awesome though. If this film deserves any credit it must be for that.
Driving along and finding a pregnant woman at the side of the road out of nowhere $5
Delivering a baby on a van by a total stranger $0
The stoner doctor laughing maniacally like a saturday morning cartoon villian. Priceless!
I am SO RELIEVED to hear you are also "handcap gang"! Was worried for a sec u were going another route and it was the longest second of my life.
The person who gives birth in your car must pay for cleaning your car. End of story
It’s the babies fault. Put him to work in the mine until the debt is paid. Plus interest.
Dont pick up anyone past eight months
@@natelax1367 🤣😂
It'll cost less than what the hospital will charge. This is 'merica, after all.
I have to brush my teeth outside so I use the garden hose to rinse. Love your videos 👍🏼
You have broken every rule in the book. Sure I will drink anything you have.
Bless U 4 “recovering Cath-olic..” 😘
Wow, this film totally doesn't feel like a really late, equally lame and totally clueless attempt to cash in on hippie culture. I expected more from the man who made "Sting of Death".
I usually use a cup when brushing my teeth.
I only use hand cup if there's no cup available for me to use when I go brush my teeth.
Lame as many can be, Mark actually has a pretty good taste in movie choices. Some blokes and lasses only stick to watching one single genre.
No shit, that is truth if I ever heard it.
“He’s a recovering cathaholic… Catholic.”
Damn, that’s a solid joke.
Ok, from now on I’m going to just avoid ALL movies with the words *{Shade/s of Grey/Gray}* in the title….
That seems to be the safest route.
What about Ladygrey?

I love The psychedelic priest so much. Your reciew was on point hilarious. Im a new subscriber dude🙋. Actually this film helped me when i first watched it in 2003.
Its on the road documentary feel and trippy vignettes are calming to me.
Older people and younger short-haired thugs physically attacking "hippies" ---- any young person with long hair ---- was VERY common. I witnessed it many times. The actual subculture of "hippies" was actually small ---- a few thousand people, mostly concentrated in tiny enclaves like Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco and Yorkville in Toronto. But to most adults any kid with long hair was perceived as a "hippy". I know it's hard for people today to understand it, but hatred and violence against anyone with long hair was very common for a period of about five years, and only gradually faded away. I remember walking into a restaurant in Toronto with three friends. We were all bookish, nerdy teenagers with glasses, etc., but one of our number had SLIGHTLY long hair. The owner of the restaurant took one look at us and started screaming "Filthy HIPPIES!!! Get out of here!". And that was in mild-mannered Toronto, where this kind of hatred was merely vocal and not usually involved actual violence. But in the U.S., violence against any young person with long hair was very common. If you had long hair and wandered into some small town, the local "tough guys" would try to egg you into a fight, circle around you and beat the crap out of you. The people doing it were exactly the same kind of people that you find going to Trump rallies today ---- or the sinister thugs that were the "enforcers" scattered among the useful idiots in the Karen Karavan here in Canada. In the late 1970's, there was a resurgence of this stuff in the U.K.... young racist "skinheads" wore heavy boots with steel toes which they called "hippy kickers", which they used exactly for that purpose.
That's fucked up. It reminds me a lot of the type of violence gay people face today. Sad to see that not much has changed. It's just a different group being targeted. Regardless, I kind of find it interesting in a way that men with long hair were seen as a bad thing considering the style became a lot more popular in the 80s-90s.
It's great when Mark puts himself in the movie...instantly makes the film SO much better!
Your comment about Tungsten lights is on point. Respect.
These videos by Mark would be great between movies at a film festival
