Another low budget Charles Band production, this ranks as one of his more enjoyable offerings. An alien named Cosmo (NOT SEINFELD's Kramer)is posing as a radio DJ and captures women, shrinks them and puts them on display in glass jars. So it's up to the real DJ shock jock Dan O'Dare and TV reporter Lisa Cummings to stop them. Though Dan isn't easily persuaded to begin with (he humiliates Cummings live on air when she claims to have seen a UFO) both soon find themselves warning the other townsfolk of the imminent danger, but, as in all B movies they are arrested, ridiculed etc. It doesn't take a genius to figure what the outcome will be, but it is quite entertaining. A sequel of sorts followed DOLLMAN VS THE DEMONIC TOYS, which is itself a sequel to (naturally) DOLLMAN and DEMONIC TOYS. Keep your eyes peeled for heavy rock group Blue Oyster Cult and the wierdo band featuring some goon dressed as a cow.

If you are a War of the Worlds fan, this movie is a must have. It's hilarious as it makes fun of the original radio broadcast by having the radio station taken over by an alien.

Some men like to put women on a pedestal. Others like to put them in the kitchen. The new DJ at KDUL likes to put them in jars; he's a collector of babes and shrinks them down to carry them home. Only home isn't exactly next door...it's another planet.
Now the real DJ at KDUL is Dangerous Dan O'Dare (Paul Hipp), an eccentric egomaniac who loves doing off-the-wall pranks while on the air. The latest butt of his jokes is Lisa Cummings (Martha Quinn), a local reporter who thinks she's spotted a UFO. (Yeah, right!) But the joke's on Dan when Cosmo, the alien, breaks into the radio station and takes a stab at show-biz. It seems that's the way to get the chicks. Now Dangerous Dan's reputation is at stake. The battle for the airwaves has begun...

trust me you and your eyes will have a mighty good time!

This video is worth it strictly for the video with the SLAM-DANCING NUN and THE DUDE IN THE COW SUIT (complete with utters.)

This movie, to me, is a classic. I Really miss the Old B Slasher/Sci-Fi Straight to VHS Full Moon Movies. I Really Miss the old Days, when you could ride out, and walk into a video store and rent a VHS. I Still Live in the 90's LOL! i Wish that they would release a seperate DVD to This movie. Intead of the Bx Set, with some other Full Moon Goodies. This movie is so looked over, and im pretty sure im the only one in the world, who still aknoledge's The Beauty of this film. It's ashame.

Yes, I am back to berate yet another B-rated monster flick that really sucked. You may notice the title of this is "No guts, no glory, " which is true. The reason is that there was almost no real killing, no gore, no nothing (including a plot). So, grab your remote and flip away from those Bad Channels and watch a better monster flick like Rawhead Rex or Dark Side of the Moon.

I watch movies like this for the sheer entertainment value of watching horrible, bad, ugly, stinking movies. They're usually quite funny, and if ya get bored you can play Mystery Science Theatre on the movie with your friends.

Unfortunately, there are bad movies, then there are movies that are just plain *bad.* This one's just *bad.* You can tell it's horrible because of the little stars around the word *bad.* There's bad acting, no plot, and everything else that makes a good bad movie, but this one took itself seriously and really tried to be a good movie that would appeal to "urban youth" (the rock bands they feature every two minutes are so bad that hard-core '80s metal fans would look the other way in disgrace). Stay away from this one, buckeroos.
