Indoctrinationability: Poor

Episode: The beginning of this episode is ok, the body is unbearable. I have been unable to sit through the whole thing without falling asleep yet. I can only assume I've seen the whole thing in all my different attempts to finish watching it, but I can't be sure. I have seen all the host segments since I went through and dubbed a tape with only the host segments.

Movie: This movie is horrid! I cannot believe there was a promotional tie-in with Subway with City Limits cups and there was a City Limits board game. It's a pathetic movie with terrible sound, no art direction, ridiculous acting, moronic dialogue and no discernible plot.

Intro: Tom and Crow get Joel to say Ping Pong balls and drop a ton of ping pong balls on him from the ceiling. Joel doesn't think it's that funny. After commercial break Crow is wantering around without eyes…

Crow: Help me!
Tom (Singing): I got Crow T. Robot Eyes
Tom: Oh, Hi crow, top of the morning to you!
Crow: I can’t find my eyes!
Tom: Oh did you look over there?
Crow: Oh, thanks, I didn’t think… Would you… I don’t have any eyes!
Joel: Jeepers creepers, Tom you’ve got crow’s peepers! Give them back!
Crow: Tom, give them back! Can’t you see what I’m going through?
Tom: Why yes, I can see better than ever!

Invention Exchange: Joel and the bots invent Mr. Meat and Potato head.

Tom: That's rare, isn't it?

The mads invent a tupperware container to keep old singing sensations fresh. Mike Nelson plays Morrissey..

Host Segments: Crow sings a song about Kim Cattrall then does a scene from Mannequin with Joel as the security Guard, Tom as the Dog and Gypsy as the mannequin.

Joel and the bots come up with their own group of all super Heros: The Fantastic 87!

Bobby Van Luke and his radio active sweatervest
Professor Hitler and his invisible knee machine
The girl who smells like Soda crackers!
Perfect Paul and his magnetic spleen, he has only one flaw!
The Pheasant plucker, and the pheasant plucker’s son.
Dr. Doorknob and his incredible electromagnetic Thing
Man man, he’s bestowed with all the powers of a man, but he’s a man.
Easy does it with Twelve Step man!

Conclusion: Joel and the bots play the City Limits Trivia game but no one can remember anything from the movie.

Dr. F. is being pestered by Morrissey, Frank cloroforms him and sticks him back in his tupperware

Book: Kevin talks about Kim Cattrall's reaction to crow's attentions.

Conventiocon II: Electric Boogaloo: Kim Catrall tells us why that movie was so horrible! Apparently they shot on location in a VERY bad neighborhood, and it was very dangerous. The conditions were terrible on the set and it came through on the movie. Even so, how could such a bad script ever be made? How could anyone do anything that bad well?
