You\u2019re uptight. I\u2019m uptight. We\u2019re all uptight. \u2026 They\u2019re dropping like flies, Agar. They\u2019re dropping like flies.\u201d It\u2019s no wonder everyone\u2019s uptight! Join your faithful Grue Crew \u2013 Doc Rotten, Chad Hunt, Bill Mulligan, and Jeff Mohr \u2013 as they sample the visual delights of Invasion of the Bee Girls (1973), the film Roger Ebert called, \u201cthe best schlock soft-core science fiction movie since The Vengeance of She (1968).\u201d Decades of Horror 1970s Episode 164 \u2013 Invasion of the Bee Girls (1973) Join the Crew on the Gruesome Magazine YouTube channel!

After watching it, he confirms that it does star William Smith, along with a surprising number of good character actors, and though it is not a good movie, but it is certainly a crazy movie. Chad says Invasion of the Bee Girls fits into the \u201cnot so classic\u201d category of each episode\u2019s introduction. He doesn\u2019t have any idea if the filmmakers are intentionally trying to be funny, but he laughed all the way through the movie. Of course, he loves William Smith and anything he\u2019s in but he is also dumbfounded by the storyline. Bill sees it as one of those softcore sex flicks from the 70s with enough science fiction elements to entice viewers to stick with it through the constant flow of boobs and butts. He never did get the ultimate goal of the bee girls in Invasion of the Bee Girls. Doc did not realize Invasion of the Bee Girls is as \u201cskinemax\u201d as it is and even though it\u2019s silly, it has a kind of stupid charm to it. It\u2019s a bizarre film with a weird science fiction thing going on and a strange level of innocence despite the topic. If you\u2019re in the mood for some William Smith, or some of that other stuff, Invasion of the Bee Girls might be just the ticket. As of this writing, the movie is available to stream from Amazon Prime, and with ads from Tubi\/ Unfortunately, the Scream Factory Blu-ray is sold out.
