Matinee - 1993 - 6/10

Flock, you fans of Horror schlock!
Film impresario Lawrence Woolsey (please, William Castle) arrives in Key West during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
What for? He’s promoting a new film, “Mant”, half man, half … you got it.
Castle was the master of gimmicks, and this one includes Rumble-Rama
John Goodman is colossally funny, and he is the star showcased on promotional material.
Nevertheless, the story follows bored teens and puppy love amidst potential nuclear annihilation.
Surely, the producers could have seen the error of the script and made the film about Woolsey.
What remains is alright. What could’ve been … well … bummer.

Update -
For those who would like to see Mant! A short.
