FDR: American Badass!
What has two wheels and kills werewolves?
Any student of Nazi history knows about Hitler’s obsession with the occult, so it’s totally plausible that the Führer was actually a werewolf. Also, totally believable that FDR contracted polio from a werewolf bite.
FDR: American Badass! was made by a couple of guys you never heard of (Garrett Brawith & Ross Patterson) with what look like Ed Wood–level production values, but the idea is so awesome that they’ve attracted a roster of talented actors who all seem totally into the proceedings. Barry Bostwick from The Rocky Horror Picture Show plays FDR and he’s joined by Kevin Sorbo (Hercules) as Abraham Lincoln, Ray Wise (Twin Peaks and 24) as General Douglas MacArthur and features Bruce McGill (D-Day from Animal House) and Paul Ben-Victor (The Wire) in supporting roles.
The movie will be available on DVD and VOD on September 25th, but there’s a debut public screening at Comic Con on July 13th if you find yourself in San Diego that weekend. This looks way better than that new Bill Murray FDR movie or Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter.

Jo Anne Worley on the old “Laugh-in” in the late 60’s would cackle loudly before yelling out “STUPID”! regarding this goofball flick. Some old FDR haters (and there were tons of them out there) would enjoy this. In the late spring of ’45 there were rumors of a Nazi guerilla band, the “werewolves”, which was a big joke. Sure, there were Nazi diehards who fought to the death, and there were isolated incidents of Americans being shot dead or wounded. Very few.
I miss doing LSD. Luckily these guys are doing enough to cover me.
Besides… We all know that Hitler was after the Spear of Destiny. True-ish story… It was found in Europe, I don’t remember the exact country at the moment, and was directly given to Hitler himself. It was said that the Spear gives the person who obtains it unlimited power… Which he had. The catch is that if you lose it, you will die.
Patton overran where Hitler had stored the Spear. Within days Hitler was dead while Patton steamrolled with his new found power. Germany surrendered. Patton was then ordered to return it to the country it was stolen from. Patton died days later.
An old occult story. Look it up to clear what I was vague/mistaken on.
When your LSD wears off I suggest you look it up yourself.
Just go back to doing LSD, Technoweapon.
