<\/a>.<\/p>\nMovie<\/strong> (1992): “I had the strangest dream. I was going to play Dr. Strange but then we lost the rights to the characters and we just made the movie anyway.”<\/p>\n Host:<\/strong> Emily.<\/p>\n Opening: <\/strong>E&tB are desperately seeking Roller Derby names that have not been taken. In Moon 1, the Mads are again visited by Dr. Kabahl, who wants to send the Mads on a time travel mission. <\/p>\n Invention exchange:<\/strong> The Mads are enjoying the wonders of soda water. E&tB invent the Gilbert and Celliphone (and Tom sings its theme song). The Mads have the palm-greaser, perfect for delivering bribes.<\/p>\n Segment 1:<\/strong> Tom’s serious lecture morphs into a (bad) comedy routine.<\/p>\n Segment 2:<\/strong> Emily is a guardian of reality but her landlord duties intervene. After intermission, the bots discover her secret orb is a bowling ball.<\/p>\n Segment 3:<\/strong> The bots “shimmy hypnotize” each other.<\/p>\n Close:<\/strong> The bots call a meeting of super hero league The Arrangers.” The Mads welcome Dr. Laurence Erhardt and ask him to use the Time Bag and bring back an MST3K host.<\/p>\n Thoughts:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2022 I think the fatal flaw in this episode is that the movie is too good. It’s no classic, of course, but it had a coherent plot I could actually follow, likeable characters (for a change), and actors who actually seemed to realize they were making a movie. They didn’t always succeed, but you can see them trying, which is more than you can say for, say, “Munchie.” Some very funny riffs, but they could have been a bit more plentiful. All in all, I got caught up.<\/p>\n As for the host segments. it’s interesting that they mostly were direct parodies of scenes from the movie. Maybe they got caught up too.<\/p>\n \u2022 Nice to see J. Elvis Weinstein with a nifty cameo.<\/p>\n \u2022 This episode debuted on June 10, 2022.<\/p>\n \u2022 Nice Christmas movie discussion.<\/p>\n \u2022 This week’s LOTR ref: “One does not simply walk into Mordrid’s.”<\/p>\n \u2022\u00a0Stinger:<\/strong> Kabal’s minion goes nutzoid. <\/p>\n \u2022 Fave riff:<\/strong> “I don’t work with spiders.”<\/p>\n \u2022 Honorable mentions:<\/strong> “For God so loved the world thiiiiiiiis much.” “Raymond, don’t! Everybody loves you!” “…Raven.” “…like Ovaltine and circus peanuts.” “They MIGHT be giants.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":".<\/p>\n Movie (1992): “I had the strangest dream.
