Really Awful Movies: Ep 104 - The Master of Disguise

April 15, 2016

Masterdisguise.jpgAn unlikely, though very strong, candidate for one of the worst comedies of all time, The Master of Disguise is billed as "1000 faces...and not a single clue." The latter could be an indictment of whoever financed this, a film with a potential audience of basically nobody. It's too advanced for kids, yet too dumb for adults; its mired in a middle of nothing.


But don't take our word for it. Sitting at 1% on Rotten Tomatoes, the M of D is essentially an excuse for Dana Carvey to do one inept impression after another.


He likely cashed in a few favors, as improbably, legit actors like James Brolin, Jennifer Esposito and Brent Spiner are along for the ride.


This thing is absolutely unbearable, even at a scant 90 minutes.


On Episode 104, we get into the glory years of Saturday Night Live, its movie spin-offs, what makes us laugh and what sinks us into bouts of depression (hint: it's a 2002 feature starring Dana Carvey).
