"Wadzilla"

Premise

Cast

Production

"Wadzilla" is a spoof on 1950s monster movies and is about "a guy that goes to get his sperm count raised, and it creates one big sperm that attacks New York City".[3] It was directed and written by Adam Rifkin, who also stars in the film.[1] Special effects was done by The Chiodo Brothers.[4]

"I Was a Teenage Werebear"

Premise

Cast

  • Sean Paul Lockhart as Ricky; a James Dean-esque character[5]
  • Anton Troy as Talon,[6] the Elvis-like bad boy with a full moon secret
  • Gabby West as Peggy Lou; a "1960s era, Sandra Dee character who goes crazy".[7] She is also obsessed with Ricky.[8]
  • Adam Robitel as Butch; a homophobic bully who 'logically' punishes gays by raping them[8]
  • Lin Shaye as Nurse Maleva[6]
  • Ron Jeremy[9] as Playbear

Production

"I Was a Teenage Werebear" is a musical and a spoof of Rebel Without a Cause, Grease and The Twilight Saga. It is set in 1962 and is about a "closeted kid who meets these other closeted kids, who when aroused turn into leather daddy werebears".[10] It was directed and written by Tim Sullivan. Sullivan, who is openly gay, included some gay culture in the segment.[10] The word bear is slang for "big hairy burly men" in the gay community.[3] It includes five original rock 'n roll songs performed by the actors.[10]

Casting was difficult as straight actors declined the role and many gay actors were not allowed to do the role by their representatives. Gay porn star Sean Paul Lockhart (Brent Corrigan) was cast as the lead role.[10] On November 5, 2010, a scene was filmed on the beach of Sycamore Cove near Malibu.[1] Robert Pendergraft provided the practical effects.[1]
