Captain of Cosmos [1979]

It's been a while since a post since Kay has been gone for three Mondays due to being on vacation. One film was watched during that time that was apparently a real winner so it will come up again as a rewatch, but for now I'm going to talk about "Captain of Cosmos." Also known as "Johnny Destiny: Space Ninja" and "Space Black Knight", this knockoff of popular anime and Marvel characters has a really hard to follow plot. Basically, some evil queen is kidnapping humans for slave labor and the cosmos knights have to save them. It's simple but somehow incredibly confusing. 

This film is truthfully kind of boring, and the convoluted nature of the plot makes it feel simultaneously very long and very short. We actually stopped it in the middle just to have a long chat with Erik, a recent college grad, about how to find a job and stay sane after college, which was far more interesting than most of the film. There are some laughs to be had in the bad dubbing, especially from our main knight who pronounces things strangely, and there's a bitchin' theme song that plays a lot, but we can't in good faith recommend it.
