Episode 137 - Aladdin (1986)



Here is a triple decker of weirdness. It's a 1980s family movie, it's made by Cannon Films, and it is Italian. Those are three aspects that do not tend to blend together well, but in this case, it somehow works out to make a surprisingly fun experience.

Aladdin, known in Italian as Superfantagenio, is a goofy family comedy, with an escalation you have to see to believe, and starring one of the true heavyweights of the Italian world, Bud Spencer himself, to deliver a movie somewhat out of its time, and yet is one that could only be made at the time it was, before family filmmaking became standardized in the 1990s with the PG-13 and G rating. Check this one out for an experience you might not quite expect.

As always, we reveal more in the full episode!
