About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a wildly weird, campy 1960s sci‑fi romp with lots of sexual humor and outrageous costumes; Not for you if you need a coherent plot or dislike dated, exploitative vibes like in Head.
Pros: imaginative weird worlds; campy cult fun; memorable opening sequence | Cons: thin silly story; uneven pacing; lots of nudity
