Episode 75 - Lost VHS Classics: Shakes The Clown

Clowns, booze, sex, drugs, infidelity, murder, romance, more clowns, redemption and mimes... this movie has it all. Shakes the Clown is the latest pick in our Lost VHS Classic series, and if clowns didn’t freak you before watching this thing they sure as hell will after. This darkly funny gem is the directorial debut of comedian Bobcat Goldthwait and has gone on to earn every bit of its cult movie status with scatological humor that delights in the uncomfortable. Love it or hate it, Shakes the Clown is anything but forgettable. Betsy Sherman of the Boston Globe once dubbed it “the Citizen Kane of alcoholic clown movies” and we couldn’t agree more. | 0:00 - Intros | 7:55 - Hello, Dolly!
