\u2022 What’s funny (to me at least) is that this movie feels less cheap than the last one, despite being a sequel. But the story makes even less sense than last week’s movie. The riffing is solid, if not always hilarious. The host segments are hit and miss.
\n\u2022 Great to see Pearl, Brain Guy and Bobo again. I thought this appearance was more relaxed and funny than the last one.
\n\u2022 Grant Baciocco provided the voice of the punt bunny (uncredited).
\n\u2022 I had to look up “eggplant emoji.” I am terminally out of it.
\n\u2022 The segment in which Jonah explains the “’80s wizard comedy craze” seems like a long walk for a very little joke, as Johnny Carson once said.
\n\u2022 I’m guessing, based on Ardy’s mea culpa, that the brief shot in the beginning with people going underwater was longer and involved Carradine battling a sea monster.
\n\u2022 Callbacks: \u201cTime for go to bed!\u201d \u201cThe Chicken of Tomorrow.\u201d Also a callback to an earlier season 11 ep: “Use that amulet to contact Big Foot.”
\n\u2022 The setup for the season finale continues, with Kinga dreaming up a wedding scheme.
\n\u2022 Of course, one notable star is Lana Clarkson, who in 2003 was killed by record producer Phil Spector.
\n\u2022 This movie re-uses footage from “Barbarian Queen” (with Lana Clarkson) and “The Warrior and the Sorceress,” (with David Carradine).
\n\u2022 Cast and crew roundup: Director Charles B. Griffith also wrote “The Undead,” “Gunslinger” and “It Conquered the World,” in which he also appeared. Mel Welles also is in “The Undead.” W.T. Zacha was wardrobe supervisor for “The Unearthly.” And we do not need to run through the Roger Corman litany again.
\n\u2022 How many Carradines does this make? Two at least…
\n\u2022 Fave riff: \u201cI\u2019d be more terrified if they both weren\u2019t wearing relaxed-fit Dockers.\u201d Honorable mention: \u201cI\u2019m forming a Stockholm Syndrome situation with David Carradine\u2019s legs.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
