I dug deep into film obscurity and came up with Pepper And His Wacky Taxi, and was subsequently reminded why some unknown movies are not only unknown, but should remain unknown.

I may have said before that I find this a problem with a lot of modern films: they slot someone into the hole in the narrative that’s labelled “protagonist”, and expect the audience to care about him purely because of his narrative position, so they don’t bother to make him interesting or sympathetic. Looks as though it’s not solely a modern problem…

(I tried saying it five times fast. It gave me Tacky Taxi Ataxia.)
This one seems a real shame. I like John Astin; I like Alan Sherman. But any movie that has the word “wacky” in the title earns my immediate distrust.
