Mr. Lobo

They're Not BAD MOVIES--Just Misunderstood!

About Me


Who is Mr. Lobo? Is he friend or foe? Will he save late night television or destroy it? You Decide!
.. Enjoy a free Cinema Insomnia episode:
MONSTER FROM A PREHISTORIC PLANET--See Japan attacked by giant bird creatures--Gods from Obelisk Island an uncharted domain inhabited by natives who inflicted with Kiwi-noma a rare skin condition that makes them appear as if they are merely Japanese actors smeared with shoe polish !
Just as Cinema Insomnia features timeless late-night films, host Mr. Lobo possesses a timeless quality that got him to where he is today - hosting bad movies on late night broadcast TV. Shrouded in the obsidian mystique of a formless void, Mr. Lobo will continue to lord over Cinema Insomnia proceedings (from the regal heights of the finest rocking chair that 1971 had to offer) until he is caught doing something undeniably illegal.Feared by women and annoyed by children, America’s greatest tea-toddling humorist and unnecessarily mysterious MC of the bizarre and macabre is considered by many to be the new king of late night kitsch!
His nationally syndicated movie TV show Cinema Insomnia originated on an ABC station in Sacramento, CA and can currently seen in prime time 10pm Saturday Night on KEJB UPN 43, late nights on KTEH PBS 54, and on hundreds of cable systems thoughout the United States and elsewhere.
You can watch Cinema Insomnia episodes online for free or download DVD quality versions for a nominal fee at BitTorrent.com
