Stoogemania is a 1986 comedy "movie" starring Josh Mostel, directed by Chuck Workman, that centers around a man suffering from an addiction to The Three Stooges. Unable to secure the rights to any Three Stooges footage, the filmmakers were forced to use public four domain Stooges shorts (Brideless Groom, Sing a Song of Sixpants, Malice in the Palace, and Disorder in the Court) to craft a loose narrative.

They saw a particularly bad streak of bombs, including this, and would ultimately go out of business in 1989; after a series of acquisitions, the library of their films is now owned by Metro Goldwyn Mayer (hence why Teen Wolf the MTV series was coproduced by MGM Television.)

The idea sounds good at first, but when you realize it's not by the studio that owns the Stooges' IP, and they're trying to get away with just four public domain shorts, it comes off as really bizarre and desperate

Hey! It's the guy who yells, "Hey! It's Enrico Palattzo!" in the Naked Gun! I think he was also the bully in Pee Wee's Big Adventure and the grown up brat from A League of Their Own.

In the 1980s they had midnight three stooges festivals at local movie theaters. The shows would start at 11pm or 12am and most were sold out. These started to fade away when Rocky Horror took over as the midnight shows.

The Boys, along with Laurel and Hardy and Captain Kangaroo were among my babysitters back in '57 or so. The Captain kept me busy in the mornings and the Stooges and Laurel and Hardy and Bugs Bunny in the afternoon. My mom loved it because they kept me fascinated. I found Stoogemania at the VCR rental and loved all the in jokes, as well as cameos from Victoria Jackson, Melanie Chartoff and Sid Cesar. I have seen it probably a half a dozen times including once within the past few months. It is a silly movie, just like the Stooges movies were, and it's a classic to those of us who know the movies behind the jokes.
