In 1968, Otto Preminger made Skidoo, a psychedelic film starring Jackie Gleason as a mobster, Groucho Marx as the kingpin, and Mickey Rooney as a snitch. Throw in some LSD and you've got the makings of a very strange cinematic trip. BB pal Richard Metzger of Disinformation points out that the trailer for Skidoo is now on YouTube and it's a gas. Dig the testimonials from BB patron saint Dr. Timothy Leary, Sammy Davis Jr., and other icons of the time. As Tim says, "Can you imagine Groucho Marx being God?"
Link (Thanks, Richard!)

UPDATE: If you'd like to watch Skidoo in its entirety, BB reader Chris Joseph says that this Torrent is still being seeded! Readers ask that people who downloaded Skidoo please return to seed the file for a while. Link
