Show Notes
This week on Bad Movie Night, we're diving into Fred Olen Ray's 1986 sci-fi prison oddity STAR SLAMMER. It's got ridiculous costumes, deranged side characters, bargain-bin spaceships, questionable fight choreography, an absolutely incredible harmonica scene, and somehow a surprising amount of world-building for a movie largely shot inside an empty grocery store. Is Star Slammer a forgotten low-budget sci-fi gem, complete trash, or stuck in that strange middle ground where it's simultaneously too cheap, too boring, and not quite sleazy enough? We break down the movie, its bizarre production, the "Slop Master General," Fred Olen Ray's endless filmography, women-in-prison movies, low-budget filmmaking, and much more. Subscribe for more terrible movies you've probably never seen.
