Paid Programming: Icelandic Ultra Blue

About This Movie

So, 'Paid Programming: Icelandic Ultra Blue' is this quirky little gem from 2009 that parodies infomercials with a satirical twist. It dives into bizarre territory with its concoction of absurd themes—like a revolutionary drug and, oddly enough, Nazi gold. The pacing is intentionally erratic, really keeping you on your toes, and the whole vibe is just offbeat enough to make you chuckle. The practical effects are delightfully low-budget, adding to that charmingly weird atmosphere. Performances have this unintentional sincerity that makes the satire hit harder. It’s distinctive, for sure—it’s not every day you see an infomercial tackling such outrageous subjects. Definitely something to discuss with fellow collectors.
