Comments: It's pretty awesome that in the post-Nipplegate era (I'm speaking, of course, about Janet Jackson at the Super Bowl), a film such as Big Bad Mama can air completely unedited on network television. And even though it was on at 2am, at least we can thank Turner Classic Movies for airing the film (even though it really isn't a classic). It's pretty awesome, as every Friday night around 2, TCM Underground plays a "cult" film; a few weeks ago I watched The Deep End, if you recall. Anyway, Big Bad Mama is a rather entertaining Roger Corman-produced flick. There's a certain creepiness about the whole thing, as Mama's (Angie Dickinson) two daughters act like they're 12, yet are both in their twenties. Both are, uh, "active" in the film; in fact, the one dude in the gang sleeps with Mama and then both daughters AT THE SAME TIME. That's what the fuck I'm talking about. Big Bad Mama is a damn entertaining film filled with (surprisingly) witty dialogue and a good amount of nudity (which is all the better since it's on regular TV). Oh, and William fucking Shatner is in the film. Now if only TCM would air Big Bad Mama II...
