"I like all the really dirty hillbillies with long beards and black circles around their eyes," writes Barry B. That's right, he has made it through LI'L ABNER (1959) at our perverse suggestion, and what is more, he doesn't seem to consider it much of a punishment at all. "It is completely like The Forbidden Zone with Nelson Riddle instead of Danny Elfman," Barry B. goes on. "Is John Goodman related to Ted Thurston? 'Cause they look just alike. At least in this movie. Ted Thurston was Sen Jack S. Phogbound. Jack (as)S, get it? One highlight was the completely over-the-top cameo by Jerry Lewis. Jerry Lewis over the top you might say? Yep, I say back. Overall pretty inspirational viewing."
