You Will Be Wet w/Bitter Karella - THE RARE BLUE APES OF CANNIBAL ISLE

This week on Found on Shelf, we descend into one of the strangest films ever unearthed: The Rare Blue Apes of Cannibal Isle — a surreal, low-budget fever dream involving aristocratic blue apes, pirate crocodiles, toxic flower gas, and a duck named Mr. Quack Quack.

Returning guest Bitter Karella joins us to break down this baffling cinematic artifact while also celebrating the success of her splatterpunk horror novel Moonflow and teasing her upcoming folk horror release Quaint Folk (dropping this October 👀).

We attempt to answer important questions like:

Is this movie secretly about colonialism?

Why can only apes hear the main character talk?

What IS rose gas, and why does it have one purpose (or two??)

And most importantly… why are we always picking on the Bobo?

Expect chaos, cursed lore, and one of the wettest viewing experiences we’ve ever endured.

🎧 Listener discretion advised: contains bizarre children’s film logic, existential confusion, and discussions of deeply weird cinema.
