MHTV: Golden Films' "Hercules"

Time to dive back into the Golden Films' vault! Enjoy the highly sanitized tale of Greek mythology's favorite jock, Hercules!

 

Musical Hell TV: This is the Army

 Happy (early) 2026 to you all! Enjoy some of Irving Berlin's finest war propaganda music, hosted by one of America's shittiest presidents. 

 

MHTV: Golden Film's Anastasia

 Hey, I'm back! And guess who's riffing on more of Golden Films' badly thought out mockbuster cartoons? So sit back and enjoy the icky revisionist history of Anastasia!

 

MHTV: The Great Gabbo

 Yes, I'm back! And I'm here with a brand-new riff! Enjoy Erich Von Stroheim as a nutty ventriloquist (is there any other kind in movies?) in the Pre-Code musical extravaganza The Great Gabbo!

 

Musical Hell TV: The Magic Flute

 Yes, the latest Musical Hell TV riff is taking a look at Mozart's classic Freemason acid trip! Well, a half-hour animated abridgement of it, anyway. Don't worry, the uncomfortably outdated views of race and gender are entirely intact.

Musical Hell TV: Golden Films' "Tarzan of the Apes"

 It's time for another riff of another Golden Films animated mockbuster! Expect the usual amount of overly loud classical music and bland character design, and more than the usual amount of colonialism.

Musical Hell TV: Musical Shorts Gift Pack

 Happy all the holidays! To celebrate here's a selection of some of my favorite weird musical (and musical-adjacent) short films!

MHTV: Noah's Ark

 Here's a special treat for you--it's the riff I meant to do on the livestream but couldn't because YouTube. So here it is, Golden Film's Noah's Ark!

MHTV HOLIDAY SPECIAL: Rapsittie Street Kids Believe in Santa

 So this is the time of year when I usually talk about holiday musical offerings, only....well, this year sucks. So you're getting a special treat: this infamous television special from the early 2000s! Happy holidays one and all!

Musical Hell TV: Titanic the Legend Goes On (Uncut Edition)

Happy Ides of April/Tax Day to you all! I know I've been away for a while, but I promised you something special and here it is: a celebratory anniversary riff of the original, uncut edition of my very first review subject, Titanic: The Legend Goes On! Thank you for all the views and support!

Musical Hell TV: Beauty and the Beast

I meant to do this as a thank you for reaching 10,000 YouTube subscribers, but before I could get to it lo and behold the count blew right past 11K!  So, thanks to all of you! You now get to see Golden Film's attempt to ride the Disney Renaissance coattails for all they're worth.




Please note that there will be no Know the Score in April, because out-of-town-ness.  And watch this space for new things on the horizon!

Musical Hell TV: The Secret of the Hunchback

And here's a special treat for all you people who put up with this crazy thing I do: another riffing of the ever-popular(?) "Secret of" series!  Things will be back to normal-ish next month...I hope.

Musical Hell TV: The Secret of Anastasia

As a special anniversary treat, I'm briefly resurrecting the long-defunct "Musical Hell TV" series to bring you The Secret of Anastasia.  It's the story of a lost Russian princess who goes on a journey to reclaim her identity and rip off of a much better movie.
