A friend alerted me to the rumor that Turner Classic Movies is going to air Otto Preminger's mondo-bizarro 1968 film Skidoo. It's a wild hippie-dippy counterculture movie with older stars like Jackie Gleason, George Raft, Cesar Romero, Burgess Meredith, Mickey Rooney, Carol Channing (in eye-popping Rudy Gernreich gowns) and Groucho Marx as "God." Watching this movie is mind-blowing -- here's a scene with Jackie Gleason in prison on LSD. Never released on video, this drug-addled insanity has a finale with the credits sung entirely by Harry Nilsson that will unhinge your jaw! Supposedly it will air on Jan. 5th on TCM. Cannot wait!
