•Cry Uncle – at the Troma Entertainment movie database
A story of one man’s love affair with his fedora and his milk. A movie in which our protagonist is a necrophiliac with the body of Alex Jones. Oh don’t worry though, the necrophilia only happens because he thinks he’s fucking an unconscious (but alive) girl. So best case scenario, he’s “just” a rapist. What the absolute fuck.
