So I want to say thanks to Brendan for introducing me to this YouTube masterpiece, Beastmaster Jr. It’s a bizarre fan parody of the pulpy, guilty genre pleasure 1982 fantasy flick Beastmaster, starring a hero who is, as the name implies, a master of beasts. So it starts out with some rand 3rd grader learning that he can control beasts. Then a particularly scuzzy-looking wizard kidnaps a beautiful princess and our young hero has to fight a bunch of renfair rejects to get her back. Which is all well and good. Typical bizzarre Internet parody stuff.

THEN the completely random 80s hair metal dude with the leather jacket and mesh shirt shows up reeking of booze to tell the kid: “You and me, let’s kill some people.” And they do. Oh, but they do. My favorite Weapon of Pet Destruction? The bag of angry cats. Marc Singer can only dream of material that good…

Devil horns flying high, Beastmaster Jr.!
