Tim and Jen host Rifftrax writer Sean Thomason to watch the unwatchable: an ancient kiddie flick filled with air and B-roll, Fun in Balloon Land. Jen also pitches her idea for a new, horrible subgenre, named after the director of the similarly horrible Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny: Mahoncore!

The Rifftrax version of Fun in Balloon Land goes down much easier than the unadorned version, plus you’ll be helping pay Sean’s salary. You can also bug Sean over at Bluesky— tell him the chuckleheads at Have You Seen This? sent you!

Get yourself a copy of the Krazee Kidz Video Party blu-ray from Vinegar Syndrome— they’re flying off the shelves!

The Akron Beacon Journal has a throwback account of the 1973 balloon parade that went so very, very wrong. Great job, Giant Balloon Parades Inc.

Jen and Tim brave the harsh California desert in search of a truly obscure female-focused vampire chiller, The Velvet Vampire!

Watch The Velvet Vampire on Shudder, and accept no substitutes! This is the best version of the film currently available, as the most recent blu-ray release is extremely difficult to find.

No joke, if you know where we can get a copy of this exact Shout Factory edition of The Velvet Vampire blu-ray for a reasonable (or at most mildly unreasonable) price, please let us know.

Jen and Tim look back at “the Cybertruck of prestige novel adaptations,” Kenneth Branagh’s Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein!

Most of this interview with Frank Darabont is about The Shawshank Redemption, but at the tail end he gives his unvarnished thoughts on what a hash Branagh made of his screenplay for Frankenstein.

Branagh spoke in-depth about the film with a pre-cancellation Charlie Rose, if you’re interested in hearing him explain himself.

Tim and Jen aren’t scandalized by infamous teen gross-out comedy Porky’s, it just kind of makes them scratch their heads.

Someone compiled every Siskel and Ebert review of a Bob Clark film from Murder By Decree to one we actually covered on the show, Loose Cannons. Only the Judd Nelson-starring From the Hip is missing. Maybe they didn’t bother.

Jen and Tim invite Patrick Cosmos back to the show to discuss the woeful sequel to Rock ’n’ Roll High School! Please drop us a line at info@haveyouseen.us if you understand the refrigerator bit.

Filmmaker Adan Gonzales obviously produced Forever: The Untold Story of Rock ’n’ Roll High School Forever as a labor of love, and audio issues aside, it’s a charming look at a movie that I guess some people really like! If you grew up listening to nu-metal and watching Pauly Shore comedies, check out the rest of his YouTube channel as well.
