Weekend Discussion Thread: Your Favorite Movie-Related Host Segment

Posted by Sampo, on March 5th, 2011

Sometimes the segments are related to the movie, sometimes they aren’t. We’re going to focus on the former this time around.

Alert reader Ken writes:

Has there been anything done with movie-related host segments? For example, I have come to love the host segment at the end of episode 610- THE VIOLENT YEARS in which Crow holds up Mike. It has such a wonderfully bizarre feel to it (it beautifully captures the inert quality of the movie), and Crow looks hilarious with the bandanna wrapped around his face.

Gotta go with the Town Council meeting called to deal with the Sinbad problem in episode 505- MAGIC VOYAGE OF SINBAD. Just gaspingly funny.

What’s your pick?
