Better Late Then Never

A Brilliant Conflict

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

you have to be in the right frame of mind for this show. if you start watching expecting to be moved by profound insights and thrilled by the special effects then your definitely going to be disappointed. my recommendation? just sit back, relax, and watch. part of the charm of this show is the actors have to be masters of their craft to come off as such poor actors. (the camera holds on Saul's face, he is seen to look away from the camera and his face is set in his signature, slack expression)to me, thats funny. a nice contrast to the arrogance of so many other programs that take themselves so seriously. there are so many shows out there that i suspect the creators of think they are doing something important. television is not important, it is not deep, it is entertainment. and Saul of the mole men is entertainment in its purest form.i don't know why the creators of this show made it like this,obviously they weren't trying to excel at anything. but the net result is a program that because of its creativity and ability to laugh at itself i would prefer to watch over anything out there. i'm actually frustrated because i've only watched half of the season. and i hear they are not going to have a second season. that would be a tragedy.

Remember those god-awful Krofft Brothers shows you watched as a kid back in the 70s? Of course you do--Land of the Lost, HR Pufnstuf, Sigmund and the Sea Monsters--the works.It would seem the folks at Adult Swim, in a fit of nostalgia, threw this affectionate little spoof together, complete with the bad costumes, green-screen, and horrible acting that you remember all too well.I can, of course, see how people wouldn't like it--it's very much "over the top" in its deliberate badness, but it seems like, to me, that's half the fun.Overall, an absolutely hilarious parody.

Saul of the Mole Men is Bad . . . but not all bad. This Sid & Marty Kroft parody has it's moments. Like when Saul talks to the Wise Man, or when he's thrown into prison and forced to fight a giant worm. It's not all good. There are scenes in nearly every show that seem tacked on filler. Buta lot of the Bad is Good. Like the deliberately cheap sets, costumes, FX, etc . . . Saul's wig and mustache are particularly bad. But the best part is his Chicago/New Yawk accent, and listening for what words he's going to mispronounce next -- like calling Rocks, Racks. "Da Bears..." After a while it gets to be like Super Milk Chan. The more you watch the more you want. Eventually you wish you had it on an endless loop! Trey Parker of South Park wrote the opening theme. Look for Alex Winter as the King Of The Mole Men.

OK....first off disregard the comment above from Abe Kwiatkowski this saying that this show isn't very good, this guy obviously does not understand the humor and writing of Josh Gardner. You see, to truly appreciate this show you need to watch a few episodes of "Gerhart Reinke's Wanderlust" which also features Josh Gardner as Gerhart. You tube it please, its ashame wanderlust did not see more than 6 absolutely hilarious episodes. The cancellation was probably due to the high production cost of traveling to different countries, but those 6 episodes are gems. However this post is not about wanderlust. Where Wanderlust left off Saul Of the Mole Men takes over. This show is REALLY REALLY low budget (but it adds to its humor) and is nothing more than hilarious (to comment on Abe Kwiatkowski post, I wish I had been high last night, because I would have sh*t my pants). But like I said before you have to be a fan of Josh Gardner's work other wise you just might not get it like my friend Abe Kwiatkowski.
