And for that reason, I LOVE this episode. The badness really drives M&#038;tB at great riffing heights. And that doesn&#8217;t even count the wonderful, hilarious short. And host segments are a lot of fun too.<br \/>\n\u2022 Rhino released this on DVD as a single<br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.annotatedmst.com\/episodes\/redzonecuba\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\">References<\/a>.<br \/>\n\u2022 That&#8217;s a neat trick shooting the balls out of Tom. I love the way Kevin grunts as he sends each one skyward.<br \/>\n\u2022 Slightly unusual: many of the segments take place in Deep 13 rather than on the SOL.<br \/>\n\u2022 That&#8217;s Mary Jo as the increasingly rare Magic Voice.<br \/>\n\u2022 Slam on Denny Dillon outta nowhere! Also Amanda Bearse.<br \/>\n\u2022 Carradine was in a HUGE number of movies, but keep in mind that many of them are movies like this.<br \/>\n\u2022 Segment 1 is lots of fun. The sight of Frank and mummy Dr. F doing the knee test is worth the price of admission.<br \/>\n\u2022 Callback: &#8220;Petey Plane!&#8221; (Skydivers) &#8220;This nose wheel feels mushy,&#8221; (San Francisco International), the &#8220;Starfighters&#8221; music, &#8220;I&#8217;m dyin&#8217; in a rush!&#8221; (Kitten with a Whip). Also, Crow&#8217;s: &#8220;Hey Posture Pals was the definitive last word on posture!&#8221; and &#8220;The master says you can&#8217;t stay here.&#8221; (Manos)<br \/>\n\u2022 &#8220;I&#8217;m a dreamer, Montreal&#8221; is a line from the Marx Brothers&#8217; &#8220;Animal Crackers.&#8221;<br \/>\n\u2022 I&#8217;m pretty sure that&#8217;s Trace as the voice of Jimmy Carter on the phone. I think that&#8217;s a guest appearance I may have missed previously.<br \/>\n\u2022 Mike again displays his unexplained and preternatural ability to just become somebody, in this case Carol Channing.<br \/>\n\u2022 Mike does the knee test in the theater. It doesn&#8217;t seem to help.<br \/>\n\u2022 I was humming the &#8220;happy upbeat song&#8221; for days after I first saw this.<br \/>\n\u2022 Nice Harpo gookie by Frank at the end.<br \/>\n\u2022 Cast and crew round up: Also working on &#8220;The Hellcats:&#8221; producer Anthony Cardoza.

Host segments directed by Trace Beaulieu. The music for the &#8220;The Bouncy Upbeat Song&#8221; was written by Mike. Frank wrote the lyics.<br \/>\n\u2022 Fave riff from the short: &#8220;Make sure your part is gouged into your skull.&#8221; Honorable mention: \u201cNow you\u2019re ready to rub out Sonny Corleone.\u201d<br \/>\n\u2022 Fave riff from the movie: &#8220;Ho, guys. Step back and think. Are we all gonna fit in here?&#8221; Honorable mention: &#8220;Why is Phil Silvers rounding up corpses?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p id=\"top\" \/>\n<p>Short: (1949) Helpful advice to make you a better public speaker.
