    How lame can we be?

    This isn't the first production which I've seen by this outfit, and, if I see any more, I'll anticipate another very bottom-of-the-barrel experience. Here we have reporter, Barbara, and her boyfriend/cameraman, Mike, on the staff of Sleaze. Shortly before his execution, they get a chance to interview a killer dubbed The Media Madman, who's schitzophrenia causes him to impersonate (extremely poorly, in most cases) celebrities seen on TV. The concept of a mass murderer is quite UNfunny; but, this MUST be a comedy because everything about it is so laughably rotten. I mean, TRULY AWFUL!!! It's one of those films where, if inferiority is the goal, it hits the bullseye.
