Communicators From Hell

About This Movie

So, 'Communicators From Hell' is a bit of a curious entry in the late '80s training video space. It's like you took John Cleese’s sharp wit and kind of wrapped it around some dry corporate training material, though the humor manages to break through the corporate veneer. The pacing is a bit uneven, oscillating between dry instructional bits and Cleese's comedic flair, which makes it feel unique. The overall atmosphere is somewhat absurd, which contrasts interestingly with the mundane subject matter. There’s a certain charm to the practical effects, too, especially in how they creatively illustrate communication concepts. It’s not just a video; it’s a fascinating artifact of that era's approach to employee training, infused with Cleese's distinctive comedic style.

This film, while not widely known, has garnered some interest among collectors, particularly those who appreciate the quirky side of training videos from the late '80s. It has seen a few format releases, but finding a good copy can be a challenge, as it seems to slip under the radar of mainstream collectors. The scarcity of this title, combined with its unique mix of comedy and instruction, makes it a fascinating piece for those interested in the evolution of corporate training materials.
