Thankfully no more Commando Cody from here on out. It starts with an animated opening where a guy pulls his helmet off and suffocates then puts it back on. Another space ship land and they land in two different parts. One is the US and the other is the Soviet Union. They partake in slapstick as other countries spaceships land on the moon and make a hotel and city. The Russian and US guy then leave.
Cut to real life footage. Some guy hops out his space ship and towards another one that is much smaller than we are led to believe. Might be a satellite. He brings it in and we slowly watch as he shuts the door. Then he gets back to the control room and we are exposed to the funky soundtrack. They try to get clearance to land. We hear more of the soundtrack and I think they just have a band playing for them at all times in the cargo hold. Some guy walks up them and starts giving them crap about making his ship wait an extra two minutes before they could land. Boo hoo. Some guy walks on with a monocle on. He’s clearly the villain. He goes to the locker room while talking to a dude and then he goes to shower. Not even a full shower it’s just a bar that covers his balls. Some woman comes in looking for a Captain Kemp or something and she walks in just as he’s leaving. He tells her to piss off and the showering guy finds out that a guy named Otto died.
The woman is also wearing a stupid hat
Then they slam cut to another movie playing the background! The monocle guy is sitting in the theater and turns out the shower guy is Kemp. So Kemp talks to the woman on a space train and then it looks like they’re on a space version of the city from Logan’s Run. He shows her some areas. Then a green haired girl with blue eyeliner shows up and says the girl and her brother have no reservation. Kemp explains the physics of this place and he tells her to get some new clothes. Then…Thighs! Just cuts to a bunch of dancing girls!
Kemp meets up with his co-pilot to drink and they drink some distilled rocket fuel. Kemp is bothered, but a dude with stupid hair who works with the monocle guy. No one seems to notice the gun he pulled on Kemp though. We cut to monocle guy and…he’s playing gamble monopoly… Jesus that’s dumb. Also he has some slaves with colored hair. Are supposed to be bored/hate his guy. So Kemp arrives, takes the gun from the guy. Then throws it away and starts downing the real booze on the table. Glad the guy has his priorities. Monocle guy wants Kemp to crash a space ship into an asteroid. It’s supposedly worth a lot of money so he wants it. It’s made of 6,000 tons of sapphire. Kemp declines, but he is reminded that he has some law troubles. He is offered a brand new space furry if he does it. Kemp gets some coffee and is questioned, but his co-pilot tells the questioner off. So yeah he’s going through with this plan. He leaves with the gun guy, his co-pilot, and some other guy. They blast off and the soundtrack kicks in. They chat about the asteroid location and they cut back to the place. Then I think thugs or whatever shows up. Space biker gang? I’m not entirely sure, but people are scared of them. Also the club is now western theme for some reason.
The lady from before talks to two of the dudes about her brother whom they haven’t seen in ages. Also I learned the dudes are a space Caravan. They find the asteroid and slowly leave the ship…Maybe this is why we have another 40 minutes. They attach an engine to the asteroid…very, very slowly. They plan to have them shoot off the rocket, but Kemp has to stay on for a few seconds to send it off. They send it off and Kemp is able to get off. Cut back to the bar and he haves some more terrible fake booze. He speaks to no brother girl and since no one has seen her in four months I’d think he just died. They think he is working as a miner in one of the moons many craters. The gun goon and Kemp get into a fight and they throw each other around. They turn the gravity off so the fight scene is even longer than normal. Cut to them on the ship and they land near a crater. No one knows where this brother is apparently. I’ve got my money on the idea that he’s dead. The two leave on a moon-buggy to go out searching for the possibly dead man. Then she kind of rubs it in that he’s older and went to Mars first. They walk around her brothers work sight and they find a person. They think they found her brother and shock of all shocks. He’s dead! Actually how did he manage dying, while standing up? And standing perfectly still for four months…actually…why is he a skeleton? How could he completely decompose is the dark, cold void of space and moon?
And be filled with sand
Moon goons then attack while they try to raid the mining site. He lures them out then shoots the green raider. He shoots the yellow guy’s oxygen tank and then he’s backed into a corner, by a space-bulldozer driven by raider red. He plays possum and shoots his oxygen pack, but he replaces it with her brothers. Okay the tank her brother was breathing from apparently wasn’t air and he died gas inhalation. This whole expedition was a terrible idea and ended badly. Brother has been dead for months, gets attacked by raiders, loses space buggy, kills three dudes, takes their bulldozer, and it wont even get them back all the way and their oxygen won’t last them. They drive through the land and see the sun rise. Now they’re safe to take their suits off and can breathe. They drive for a while and Kemp has taken his shirt off. Then the girl starts stripping as well.
They only have seven or ten miles left, but the sun is so hot the bulldozer starts melting from the inside. They get back into their suits have and have to make a run for it before the machine explodes. Welp. Time to trek for about a while. They arrive back at the buggy place and they almost get arrested. Turns out it was cyanide in his air pack. They find out that the proprietor was forced to give him a poisoned air filter so he would lose the land so they could crash the asteroid. Monocle guy is out under arrest and gun goon draws his gun. He shoots the cop and she slowly dies. With the girl at gunpoint Kemp had agreed to land the asteroid. The co-pilot and girl plan to help Kemp get away so they turn on a booster that gun goon was standing beneath and destroys his helmet and sends him flying in space. The ship comes back and the co-pilot shoots the oxygen off of some guy and finishes the asteroid launch, while leaving monocle guy and computer guy on the asteroid and they crash down and die. They go back to the moon city and Kemp asks the girl her room number. The end!
Invention exchange is Drive-By-Food (Food that goes straight to your stomach) for Joel and Celebrity-Mouth-to-Mouth (Toothbrush with celebrity heads that dispense toothpaste) for the Mads. We already are kind of have the Mads invention, but Joel’s was kind of clever. Next skit is Joel and the Bots performing a play on the first moon landing. Not that funny. The next skit is the Monopoly game….wait…it was called MOONOPOLY? GRRR! Well the skit is just adding moon or some random theme to games. They do however have the insight of Super Lunar Mario Bros. Everything else is just kind of funny. Then he makes the bots Rock-Em-Sock-Em fight. It was an all right skit. Last skit is Tom and Crow talking about the women of the movie and debating how much they find the other woman beautiful. Eh neither is all that pretty. Then they turn of the gravity and fight that way. It’s just as slow and boring as it is in the movie. The skit started dumb, but ended kind of funny. The episode is a made for TV show converted into a movie. This happens a lot in the future. This episode was middle of the road. The movie was nothing special, the jokes were occasionally funny, two of the sketches were funny, and I don’t hate it as much as Project Moonbase, which means a lot. I’d check it out again.
Episode Rating – 4/10
Movie Rating – 3/10
Favorite Riff – “Um we’re about to walk off the set. Would you mind going the other way?”
Possible Stinger – Kemp turning off the gravity and fighting.
