\u2022 I liked this one a lot, and I laughed almost continuously. Amazingly, this was the first time I’d ever seen this movie (many of the commenters seemed INTIMATELY familiar with it). It is a painfully obvious observation but … what a dumb and completely incoherent movie.
\n\u2022 Great song in the theater: \u201cA Stranger\u2019s UFO.\u201d
\n\u2022 Callbacks: \u201cChili peppers burned his gut.\u201d (Sidehackers); crappy effects are powerless against me (Prince of Space ), \u201cPumaman?\u201d
\n\u2022 A notable comment\/question on Twitter: No riffs about Marjoe Gortner? Do they not know who Marjoe was? A good question.
\n\u2022 I guess the big news for this one is Seinfeld\u2019s appearance. Joel really called in some favors with the stunt casting. And this one, while a bit random, works. The performance: GOLD, Jerry! GOLD!
\n\u2022 The many names of the spaceships would be a great Ward E list.
\n\u2022 Patton says: \u201cIt\u2019s moon o\u2019clock and 200 degrees below zero.\u201d Is that a KTMA reference?
\n\u2022 Two PG-rated moments for this usually G-rated show: “Well, I DID just save you…” and the use of the term “titty-twister.”
\n\u2022 Jonah removes Tom\u2019s head in the theater when he won\u2019t stop the spaceship names.
\n\u2022 Cast and crew roundup: Director Luigi Cozzi did the story for “Devil Fish.” Caroline Munro was also in “At the Earth\u2019s Core” (later this season). Omero Capanna was also in “The Pumaman.” Behind the camera: Cinematographer Paul Beeson was director of photography for “Moon Zero Two.” Assistant director Goffredo Unger was an actor in “Devil Fish” and “Hercules Against the Moonmen.” Special effects director Germano Natali also did special effects for “Devil Fish.
\n\u2022 Fave riff: \u201cThat\u2019s the thing about this movie: it\u2019s not afraid to take its time to aggravate you.\u201d Honorable mention: \u201cThat\u2019s not the part I would have started with, but yeah go ahead.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
