<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\u2022 Several new things in this ep: Joel as Ardy in Moon 14 (other than saying \u201cmovie in the hole!\u201d) and the first mention of Kingachrome.
\n\u2022 Movie thoughts: Did Rock and Mia just assume there would be chemistry and not even try to create it? Also interesting and vaguely related: J&tB carefully avoided any riffs on Rock’s, um, lifestyle.
\n\u2022 Jonah\u2019s invention triggered my gag reflex.
\n\u2022 Steve Franken in two out of the first four movies? What are the odds?
\n\u2022 In the theater, Crow and Tom control drones which carefully block the naughty bits of a naked lady, similar to the umbrella bit in episode 403- CITY LIMITS.
\n\u2022 Also in the theater J&tB produce cymbals.
\n\u2022 As the helicopter flies in, they do a M*A*S*H-style description of the movie, one that is taken WORD FOR WORD from the synopsis in the IMDB. I know because I also stole MY synopsis, above, from there, but I rewrote mine a little.
\n\u2022 Neil Patrick Harris pops up out of the blue in a sort of “Dr. Horrible” reunion with Felicia Day. The lyrics by Joel, Elliott Kalan and Robert Lopez. The music is by Robert Lopez, arranged and produced by Stephen Oremus.
\n\u2022 Interesting \u201cSimpsons\u201d reference: \u201cFeels like I\u2019m wearing\u2019 nothin\u2019 at all! Nothin\u2019s at all!\u201d How many Simpsons references were on MST3K, even though \u201cThe Simpsons\u201d referenced MST3K several times?
\n\u2022 The credits do not say who wrote Gypsy\u2019s song, so I am guessing it was another great song from Paul and Storm.
\n\u2022 What sort of musical instrument in Jonah playing during Gypsy\u2019s song?
\n\u2022 The TripAdvisor bit is very funny.
\n\u2022 Callback: \u201cWe want to hear California Lady!\u201d (Track of the Moon Beast).
\n\u2022 Phrases from the legacy show: \u201cCommercial sign,\u201d \u201cHe died as he lived\u2026\u201d and \u201cYou look at it, I\u2019m bitter.\u201d
\n\u2022 Cast and crew round-up: As noted, Steve Franken was also in “The Time Travelers.” Stuntman Freddie Hice also did stunts for “Alien from LA.” Behind the camera, producer Paul Rapp was assistant director on “High School Big Shot.” Producer Roger Corman\u2019s other riffed films include “Gunslinger,” “It Conquered the World,” “The Undead,” “Viking Women,” “Teenage Cave Man,” “Swamp Diamonds” and “The Sword and the Dragon.” Editor Larry Bock also edited “Final Justice,” in which he also had a cameo as a drunk. Production designer Sharon Compton was an actress in “Wizards of the Lost Kingdom II.” Special effects artist Roger George also did special effects on “The Human Duplicators” and “The Amazing Transparent Man.” Script supervisor Sandy King also supervised the script for “The Incredible Melting Man.”
\n\u2022 Fave riff: \u201c1978, you have so many crimes to answer for.\u201d Honorable mention: \u201co\/` Rock rock rock rock rock \u2019n\u2019 roll search team. o\/`\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
\nMovie: (1978) Vacationers at a winter resort struggle to survive after an avalanche hits.<\/p>\n
