Penn and Teller Get Killed
Quite possibly the worst piece of cinematic offal (rhymes with "awful") ever inflicted on a tortured audience, Penn and Teller Get Killed [1] is an hour and a half of eye-peeling celluloid agony. It was conceived and birthed in a rancid, mutant fashion around the time I was sliding into juvenile delinquency, and it absolutely reeks, my friend. Picture this: the cinematic equivalent of rotten gouda, the movie world's answer to sauerkraut left to fester overnight in boiling summer heat, swarming with flies. It’s like stained, feculent, rotting boxers. It’s so bad that bad needs a new level to sink to, a fresh nuance of meaning to emphasize just HOW abysmally dreadful this film is. In short: you could produce better movies while stoned on Benzedrine and randomly splicing episodes of "Gilligan’s Island," guided by the Fibonacci Sequence. The outcome would still make more sense.
