Oh hi,

This week on Filmsack we get Super Fuzzy about what exactly our eyes are seeing over on Amazon Prime (or the far superior visual fidelity transfer on YouTube Ibbott) after we receive a deadly dose of “super powered Italian action cop-comedy” from this 1980s forgotten HBO mid-day movie staple that apparently has given us the the ability to endure a lethal injection’s worth of “nooo… not this f’ing theme song again?” straight into our ear holes like some kind of cop you can’t judge by his cover… unless that cop is Ernest Borgnine … and he is literally licking the top of that inflatable ball they have been dancing around on!! Ok…I’m judging.. … gross!

Anywho, now that we have the powers to stop grocery store thieves armed with guns and wearing control top pantyhose on their heads by catching bullets with our gun barrels and our beautiful Italian smiles, oh hi, I guess it is time we see if we can do something really beneficial for our community… like gaslighting our girlfriend with post hypnotic suggestions to get her to marry us and have our little Italian babies… which just so happen to look like Ernest Borgnine.. heeeey wait a minute!

Randy, Why are you so mad? It’s like you’re sorry I’m still alive!
