Bargain Bin Fun!

Posted on Posted in Blog, Uncategorized No Comments Tagged with , , , , ,

I hate grocery shopping, but so does Shereen. So it’s one of those chores in which we both participate each week to keep it “fair.” One of the few available distractions are the junk bins at the end of the aisles in Stop n Shop. I root through them and have a giggle while she spends eight minutes picking out a light salad dressing. 

This week I spotted a familiar-looking DVD in the $1 bin:

The characters on the cover bore a striking resemblence to the characters in a Russo-Finnish live-action childrens film (featured, of course, on MST3K) called “Jack Frost,” so I assumed this was a crappy animated knockoff of that crappy Eastern European flick. 

But looking closer at the back cover, I realized it actually IS that Jack Frost movie, just with inexplicable cartoon artwork.

For fans of this movies’ MST3K episode, I’m sure you’ll be fascinated to hear that the “uncut” version of the movie contains numerous extra scenes – mostly undubbed musical numbers.

The back of the box offers “chapter breaks” as the sole bonus feature. I’d like to point out that this is technically untrue, as the movie is broken into three separate titles (sometimes cutting in the middle of a line), each of which only has one chapter. I’m just sayin’. 

Yeah, it was a pretty slow weekend for old Josh.
