If there's a hell for the makers of bad movies, it has a spot with my name on it.

Of the movies I worked on as a teenager, Galactic Gigolo has to be the worst of them. It's about a broccoli from outer space who wins an all-expenses paid trip to Prospect, CT -- the horniest town in the galaxy. Some poor soul has actually written a review of it, complete with audio clips, stills and a brief clip from the film, which was shot in my mom's front yard in Connecticut (a bunch of the movie was filmed in the house as well).

All the cast names sound like aliases.

I think if we'd known what we were making at the time, they would have been. It's definitely not one of the high points in my film career. Then again, how many people can say they helped make a movie about a horny broccoli?

True. You are among a "select" few. The fact that I know of another "horny broccoli" movie actually scares me.

Actually, it was an episode of Garth Merenghi, so I don't know if that counts.

That is a rather horrifying. (I still need to watch the rest of those Darkplace episodes).

Hey! Your mother had a naked B-movie queen on her couch!

Not only that, my 17 year old son was in the room while they were filming the scene...
LOL

May it serve you well!
