This episode our SOHO CINEMA CLUB team of cinephiles Miles Flanagan, Nick Chomicki and Jared Carlson sit through what may be the worst movie ever made. Or at least one of them. Starring an amazing ensemble of A-List comedy stars - Jerry Lewis, Madeline Kahn, Marty Feldman, Orson Welles and Jim Backus (to name but a few) - and based on the comic political novel "Slapstick" by Kurt Vonnegut Jr., the question is "How could this movie possibly fail to be funny?" Our intrepid team watch the film so you don't have to. See what they have to say, find out more about the making of the film and discover whether or not this is truly cinematic garbage. And why. Enjoy!
