\n\u2022 A much stronger episode than the last one, with some very funny riffs and clever host segments. The ep also benefits from an incredibly stoopid movie.
\n\u2022 This episode was made available on April 1, 2022 to Kickstarter backers and on May 7, 2022 to Gizmoplex users.
\n\u2022 The earlier Kickstarter version did not include the credits for the show or a stinger. Other than that, the differences between the two versions are trivial. Both shows contained paid promotional content, promoting various companies that had sponsored the Kickstarter.
\n\u2022 This episode marks the first appearance of Emily Marsh as Emily Conner. It also includes the first appearance of Baron Vaughn as Dr. Kabahl, and I admit he comes off better than he did the first time I watched this ep.
\n\u2022 As several people noted in the comments for the previous entry, this season the pace of the theater riffs has been noticeably slowed down and I have not seen anybody complain about it. The failure to let the riffs “breathe” was definitely the most popular complaint about seasons 11 and 12.
\n\u2022 I’m getting a little worried about Kinga and Max. Is her saying “shut up, Max” and him looking crestfallen all they’re going to do?
\n\u2022 There are, I think, a number of video game references. I’m not sure, because I’m not a gamer, so shoom, right over my head.
\n\u2022 Stinger: Our hero gets spanked.
\n\u2022 Callback: “He’s pretty nice.” (Mac and Me); “Blast Hardcheese!” (Space Mutiny); “BANG!” (Cry Wilderness); “Say, Miss Interocitor!” (This Island Earth) not to mention old favorites “I’m not touching you” and “You look, I’m bitter.”
\n\u2022 Fave riff: “So, wait: the spanking line worked?”
\n\u2022 Honorable mention: “The redeeming line we needed.” and “Ooteenee!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
