I have a passion for B-Movies, robots, monsters, talking houseplants, TV and pop culture. I host a syndicated Late Night TV show that mixes fun obscure movies, vintage commercials, rare shorts, trailers, interviews, trivia, humor and satire. "Cinema Insomnia" has been seen on over 30 broadcast staions and hundreds cable systems. If you'd like to see my show on your favorite TV channel. Contact the station program manager and say you want them to carry Cinema Insomnia or just tell me and I'll contact them. My distributor is Apprehensive Films (916)560-8208. I also host live shows, events, and film premieres. I also always enjoy making personal appearances at genre related events and doing interviews.
You can view many episodes for free right now via LOBOVISION at http://www.cinemainsomnia.com on the SHOWS page. Episosdes are also available for 2.00 in excellent quality through Digiflick.net. It is Mr. Lobo's goal to be on in every state in the union.

Who is Mr. Lobo? Is he friend or foe? Will he save late night television or destroy it? You Decide!
Enjoy a trailer for Cinema Insomnia episode: SUPERARGO--A new DVD of an old season 2002/2003 show featuring a masked hero fighting cyborgs Italian style! Presented in SuperArgoScope.
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 was 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 right now for free via LOBOVISION on Cinema Insomnia.com and also for $2.00 with superior sound and picture at Digiflick.net!
