\n

Thoughts:<\/strong>
\n\u2022 J&tB have a fanboy conversation about “Dr. Who.”
\n\u2022 The \u201cTrippy Blob\u201d song (which I very much liked) was written by Paul and Storm.
\n\u2022 I believe this is first time in the history of the show that an episode has opened with the host and the bots on the same set as the Mads.
\n\u2022 The Boneheads were played by Tim Ryder, Zach Thompson and Deanna Rooney.
\n\u2022 Yet another self-reference.
\n\u2022 Callback: Buh-boom (Atlantic Rim).
\n\u2022 Cast and crew roundup: In front of the camera: Bradford Dillman did voice work on “The Atomic Brain.” Behind the scenes, writer Howard R. Cohen also wrote “Deathstalker and the Warriors from Hell.” Cinematographer Austin McKiney was also cinematographer on “The Skydivers,” production manager on “The Incredibly Stranger Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies” and editor\/assistant director\/production supervisor on “The Beast of Yucca Flats” and executive producer Roger Corman, well, you know. Quite a few of the crew on this film also worked on “Wizards of the Lost Kingdom II,” including production designer Kathleen B. Cooper, art director Roy Meyers, set decorator Ildiko Toth, assistant director Jonathan Winfrey and prop maker Peter Flynn.
\n\u2022 An interesting sidenote: this ripoff of “The Abyss” feature a few crew members who worked on “The Abyss,” including special effects makeup artist Roy Knyrim, model maker Steve Cotroneo and prop maker Crit Killen.
\n\u2022 Is it me or were there a lot of Seinfeld references in this one?
\n\u2022 Fave riff: “I like my oxygen fat.” Honorable mention: \u201cThe ‘excuse me while I get my phone and go into the bathroom for like 10 minutes.’\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
