Okay to the shorts first. This is honestly the point when I’m sick of Commando Cody. Cody rolls out of the car before it exploded and now he’s fighting some gangsters. Oh right the moon men hired cheap and goofy gangsters to capture Cody. They hi-jack a plane with a scientist and bail out when it starts to crash. Cody gets in, but BOOM the plane crashed. Sucks to be them….Just kidding they found a spare parachute and had enough time to escape unscathed. The gangsters try one last heist before the moon men kill them I guess, but they fail and only one is hospitalized. The just DIE I guess. With Cody en route to interrogate him, the injured gangster is transported to a top security facility. On they way the driver of the armored ambulance, falling for one the oldest tricks in the book, gets out to assist a fallen pedestrian. He turns out to be another gangster and the captive gangster gets away. When they learn that Cody is in pursuit, they ram an unmanned ambulance into Cody’s car, sending both vehicles over a cliff. The end? Find out next Cody Time, same Cody Place!
Okay now for Robot Monster! Okay so here’s the monster. A guy in a Gorilla suit, a diving helmet with TV antennas on top, and a Bubble Machine. I love this movie so much! The aliens (Yes that is the whole race!) called Ro-Men wipe out the Earth aside from like 6 people cause of immunity from their death rays. There are three scientists (One is a woman), a housewife, a young girl, and our child protagonist. So yeah the Ro-Man has to kill the Hu-Man, but he falls in love with the girl and he captures her. She can also tie herself up apparently. Kinky. I guess? The Ro-Man kills a few of them, but the High Council of Ro-Men kills Ro-Man due to his Hu-Man emotions and they destroy the Earth! Just kidding it was ALL a dream. So the kid goes to eat dinner and roll cast list! I adore this movie for all the best reasons. I know, it sucks, but goddamn! It transcends badness and becomes unbelievably goofy and lovable.
Okay this one has some explaining. This is probably my favorite episode of the season. Solely because of the movie! I absolutely love this movie. It’s campy, dumb, cheesy, has laughable dialog, ridiculous costumes, and overused footage. The amount of times they traverse over the same area claiming that it’s new and the lizard footage is over used all the time! The episode like most of season 1 sucks, but the movie is completely worth it! The sketches mostly suck. At the end they wear garbage bags…cause? At the beginning they do the damn Flaming (insert item here) invention again and it sucks again! The only tolerable skit is when Crow and Tom pretend to be Ro-Man to scare Joel, but I backfires and he starts beating them up. This episode is all right by season 1 standards, but just watch the movie alone and get some friends. You’ll have a better experience.
Time to get nostalgic. This is actually the third episode of the series of saw of the series and the first Joel episode I ever saw. This episode does hold a very, very soft and warm place in my heart.  If I had to see one Season 1 episode again. It would be this one.

Okay the movie starts with the credits and we see that it stars Alan Hale Jr. (Skipper from Gilligan’s Island) and the lovely Allison Hayes (B-movie babe). This could be all right. Okay so the credits are in space, but an astronaut is looking out that space window. So does he see those credits? Then he starts begging from command to hear him. Is he upset the credits were over? So something goes wrong and down on Earth some guy is complaining to his secretary about the failure and lack of contact. This guy is reasonably upset. He leaves and talks to a few other guys. Then it randomly cuts back to the secretary sitting there and back to them without a word. Thank god we know she’s doing her job. They do the same thing again! What’s with the editing? They’re talking about the astronauts cracking under solitude, but that’s apparently not the case. There’s also a countdown to when he runs out of oxygen. When it runs out the original guy slams the table and it cuts to the girl and back to the men. One of the other people leave and it does the girl few second cut again. The other two guys talk and they find that the guy has survived for twenty minutes without air. He’s freaking out and wants to press the red button. He wants to kill people and he seems to have given acting lessons to Shatner. They press the red (technically gray) button and he explodes. Cut to a swinging 60’s club where teens are drinking, dancing, and played by 30 year olds. Oh and they’re not allowed to either dance or act. Two girls are talking about girl stuff and one the waiter talks about the explosion in the sky. They laugh an- Oh I guess we’re done with that scene okay. Cut to some guy named Paul driving down the street. He enters the same club and starts talking to the girls. So Paul and the blonde girl are dating and can’t act. It’s also apparently Christmas. They leave and…Bird’s the Word is playing in the background. No joke, no comment on the film, just….Bird’s the Word is playing. Okay I don’t think this waiter hasn’t had fun since WW2. Okay so the couple stops at the beach, play around, and make out. Thank god 30 year olds are playing these teens getting dressed on camera or else this would be massively illegal! So they go swimming and in the sand…is a piece of the spaceship! Aaaaah! They play around some more and then before they can get down and dirty they find the astronaut’s arm! Less aaaaaaah worthy. The guy doesn’t want to report the lost arm because….uh…stupid screenwriting? He leaves and drives back later to get the arm because….reasons! The guy from before (named Steve) and the good doctor talk about spaceship problems. So a radioactive rat can open regular locks and thinks now. That’s the explanation for the arm moving later. Oh god this next shot. It just shakes the camera back and forth to emulate the arm moving and knocking stuff over. Goody. So Paul’s mom goes down with a gun and blames it on the cat. What follows is a long boring scene of the arm moving, Pal sleeping, his mom waking up, drinking, going back to sleep, and repeating the process. Until the arm FINALLY lashes out and kills the mom. Paul wakes up finds his dead mom and calls the cops. This is why he should have reported the goddamn arm and not wrap it up in his closet! The cops show up and they question Paul. They leave and the arm finally strangles his dumb ass! The paramedics arrive and when they bring the dead body they find Paul. SADLY he’s alive! He runs out of the truck screaming and the paramedics don’t follow him. Everyone in this movie is a dumbass. Slam cut to the other guy shouting at Steve and his pal about him going foreword with another spaceship after the last two failures. I just realized something. Allison is only in like two scenes! Slam cut to plane, and then slam cut to Paul running down the street. He runs back into his house and he finds the sheriff waiting for him. Paul is an idiot. He takes the arm home, refuses help from doctors, and refuses help from the cops! He’s not in trouble for anything. Paul pulls out a recorder and he starts monologuing. Apparently he’s a lone wolf who wanted all the credit to himself. No he’s just an idiot. Also he almost gave Shatner a run for his money. He looks like he’s about to drop dead at any moment. Then he gets double black eyes so is he a zombie now? Steve and his buddy show up and want permission to search the house, but the officer obviously tells them to piss off. Paul leaves the two dudes a note saying he’ll talk to them that night. His girlfriend shows up to see if he’s okay, but he tells her to get out of the house (Many times!). Steve and pal show up at night and they find radioactivity on the shelf and ceiling. Then Paul attacks them and runs off! Then the cop doesn’t even notice! Will someone please shoot him! UGH!!! Paul runs to the club and almost kills the waiter to Bird is the Word. He snaps out of it and runs off. The females talk about Paul and they never once bring up how dumb he is. Paul shows up as the other girl leaves. He talks about how he’s going to go away after he says goodbye and maybe destroys the hand. He claims the waiter is the only person he could have relied on, but they’ve never interacted. He turns crazy again and almost kills her, but doesn’t. Steve and pal are arrested for trespassing and they keep telling the cops, “Chase Paul! He’s dangerous!” They arrive at the girl’s house and she says it was the hand that did it! Which we haven’t seen in lord knows how long! Paul runs home and finds the hand, then drives off. Paul drives fast with the cops chasing him and the hand (I kid you not) crawls out of the trunk, into the back seat and strangles Paul. Paul parks (not crashes, parks) into a garbage dumb and fights with the arm. It’s a dumb scene that goes on far too long. They catch up to him and the sheriff pulls a gun on Paul and says if he doesn’t come he’ll shoot. Steve says he’s just a kid and Sheriff reminds him that he almost killed three maybe four people. YES! KILL PAUL! ‘I don’t want to hurt you Paul’ I DO KILL HIM! Then- WHAT? Two cats just start fighting! Then they EAT THE ARM! WHAT!? Then Paul passes out and they say have to bring him to a hospital. NO! HE WAS ALMOST SHOT! PUT A BULLET IN HIM AND SAY IT WAS SELF DEFENSE! YOU ARE THE LAW! They say Paul is going to be just fine and it ends!

The invention exchange is the safety saw that turns off when your body is near it for Joel. He did a funny gag where he used fake fingers and cut them off much to the shock for the Mads. Dr. F’s is the limb lengthener. First skit is bowling. Funny (Sarcasm). Okay this next skit is funny. Fake hands are strangling them and they do Shatner impressions. This is funny solely because I love Shatner impressions. Next skit is Crow talking about how the killer arm isn’t scary, but a giant fake hand attacks him. I hated this movie and episode. The riffs are barely funny; it drags at a long pace, and I HATED Paul. He is so poorly acted and written that he is one of the most unlikeable hero characters I’ve seen in a while. He brought all of it on himself and he is the reason his mom died, and all those others almost died! If he just reported it there would be no issue! GOOD LORD I WAS PROMISED ALLISON HAYES AND A KILLER HAND AND I DIDN’T GET IT! The hand should have killed people and ended with the cats eating it! PAUL SHOULD HAVE DIED SECOND!!! AND MORE ALLISON HAYES!

Verse same as the rest. Don’t worry the show gets better trust me! The short is Commando Cody – Chapter Three, Bridge of Death. In this episode people talk as little possible, fist fight, throw a cheap dummy off a cliff, and there are three chase scenes (On foot, by spaceship, and by car). The end of the last chase crosses the bridge of death (Sadly not over the Gorge of Eternal Peril), which explodes, sending Cody’s flaming car into the river. Guess he didn’t know the capital of Assyria.

The movie sucks just as much as the short. It has Bela Lugosi as an evil scientist who kills brides, steals their corpses, and uses their life to keep is his wife alive. A female news reporter finds one of the places and is forced to stay because of storm. This won’t end well. She meets a humpback assistant. Sadly not Ygor for Son of Frankenstein…wait he wasn’t even a hunchback! Oh and he also has a dwarf brother. So the reporter finds them sleeping in coffins, disposing bodies, and killing the hunchback. He must suck as a boss. People stage a fake wedding and they catch Bela. However he kills the dwarf and captures the reporter. Man they suck at keeping people in custody. Patricia and Fagah (the hunchback and dwarf’s mom) kill the Bela and his wife. The reporter gives up on reporting and becomes a housewife…cause 40’s and all. The sketches aren’t all that funny. Tom and Crow, looking at a magazine, and talking about clowns. Yay? This is a downright awful episode. Occasionally I got a smirk, but I just hated it. The movie’s got all the right clichés: a mad doctor, a go-getting female reporter, a hunchback, a dwarf, and lots of young female victims. The problem is, it makes next to no sense. As Crow cleverly puts it in the final host segment, “He’s trying to commit an inconspicuous murder on the most conspicuous day of a woman’s life.” There has got to be an easier ways to get fresh young female corpses. Some of the comments are occasionally funny, but the movie’s bad pacing and unfollowable plot make it difficult viewing.

The movie is about a bunch of astronauts who are bringing a race of aliens called Centurions with them to Earth. There’s a lot of bigotry towards the Centurions for unexplained reasons. The ship crashes, everyone gets separated and Linda one of the Centurions is rescued by a half human, half Centurion man named Tang. An away team leaves to find them and they have to endure such grueling challenges like dry ice and a spider puppet! Tang and Linda fall in love and she can’t decide if she wants to leave or stay with Tang. However some savages attack her and Tang is beaten up. The away team shows up and kills ALL of the savages. Well that wrapped up quickly. Then one of the dumbasses shoots Tang. Linda is brought back to the ship and then a volcano erupts! She runs out to be with Tang as the volcano erupts and the ship starts to take off without some of the people. The Admiral wants to go back for her because apparently he’s her father figure, but our male lead punches him and drags him back to the ship. Just as they lift off I guess the volcano just stops erupting. Thankfully though, Tang and Linda find each other again and embrace! Good I actually wanted them to stay together. They could go back, but the Admiral says not to despite the fact that he was about to die going back for her! Like most of Season 1 this episode sucks. The jokes aren’t all that funny, the inventions are dull, the sketches are lack luster at best, and the movie isn’t all that bad! The problem with this episode is that I have next to no problems with it as a movie. Sure the effects suck ass, some of the comic relief is annoying, the story went at a snails pace, and the acting is stilted at times. However the story is all right when it moved, there’s some decent tension at the end, and I did like Tang and Linda. The sketches revolved around the crew disabling a satellite and I’ll be honest I just skipped over them to watch the movie. This is one of the episodes where I just have to say, watch the movie itself and you’ll get a lot more enjoyment. One last thing. There is only one woman on the semi-prehistoric planet. It should be called, Centurions of the Mysterious Planet or something like that.

Short is first. After escaping Retik, Cody and his pals devise a plan to enter the villain’s lair. Once there, they inject nitrous oxide into the ventilating system, knock out the bad guys, and steal the atomic ray gun. The plan works fine, but as they make their getaway with the gun, Cody and his sidekick Ted are pursued by Moon Men in a moon tank and get trapped in a cave. The Moon Men melt the rock walls with another laser and cause molten lava to rush towards Cody and Ted.

Now the movie! So after the credits it shows a wolf howling, then in a cage. PETA would love this movie. Blood is being taken from the wolf and is inserted to a guy by an evil doctor named Cameron. Cameron says he has nothing to worry about, but experience says he has everything to worry about. The guy passes out and turns into a werewolf! Cameron is glad and shockingly he wants to use it as a weapon of peace! Then he remembers that a bunch of guys said he was insane for wanting that and begins to plot his revenge! I guess he has to insert the potion into him to change the guy back, which is not going to bode well for later. The guy remembers none of the transformation and only remembers it as a dream where he was chasing and wanting to kill people. The doctor said it was just a nightmare and as they go off to bed they meet Camerons daughter, Lenora. Also it seems the guy is a bit…special…it’s odd for the 40’s. So on and off wolfman is their gardener and has feelings for Lenora. Worked for Forrest Gump so he has a chance. Cameron sees them interacting and has him leave the garden and go to the lab to be a subject of SCIENCE! So he has the guy strapped down and turns him into a werewolf again. Then he lets the guy out and he wanders as a werewolf. So in other words he wanders around a fake forest with lots of fog. So they cut to some house in the middle of the woods with a guy and his family. The little girl wants to play with her ball. This does not bode well. Then a random hunter shot at the wolfman and the hunter gets away and into the house, while he is chased. Then the wolfman sneaks in through the girl’s window and I assume he kills her! Before the family can see it the wolfman is already gone and back at the lab. Cameron turns him back and he once again thinks he had a bad dream again. Some guy walks in and Cameron welcomes him. White suit, white skin, black tie, slicked to the side hair, and cheeky grin. I’ve got my money on a bet that he’s a reporter and I know I’m gonna win. Yes he is! We’ve lined up the cast. Man made monster, doctor, doctor’s daughter, and the reporter. Sounds like a 40’s monster movie. Well they talk about a story and a DEAD CHILD! Jesus 1930 – 50’s movies what’s up with you and dead little girls! Our ‘genius’ reporter thinks it a giant lizard. No, no that’s in about 3 seasons! Well that scene was almost pointless. Then I guess Cameron goes to the house of one of the doctors who doubted him and he tries to gloat to him about his success. Then Cameron brings the wolfman to the other doctor and doesn’t show him transform. He leaves the guy with the other doctor and he calls one of the other skeptical doctors. The two talk exposition for a bit and the other doctor talks to the wolfman for more exposition. Cameron is shown with some other guy in the middle of the forest and they walk back to the other doctor’s house. The doctor inserts the potion in the wolfman and he slowly transforms as Cameron is on his way and almost has a heart attack. The wolf effect is muttonchops and a beard combo with fake fangs. Hilarious. The werewolf stealthily gets up and strangles the doctor. He screams so loud that Cameron, the other guy, and some cop can hear him and sprint. They’re too late, but Cameron takes his potion and leaves. The reporter shows up at the scene of the crime and they are all shacked at this strangling. So back at Cameron’s house the wolfman was changed back and know he is making creepy faces at Lenora and gets the feeling he is told to do terrible things. Cameron walks on, slaps him, and tells him to go to his room. Ugh…I hate that they make characters like the wolfman. Watch it and you’ll understand. He seems very…dim. His daughter and him argue for a moment, but they get over it and talk about how awesome he is. Then the reporter (I think) meets with the dead girl’s dad and we get nothing from it. This scene was pointless. Then we see Cameron open up the door to see the werewolf?! He doesn’t even need the transformation potion now! He keeps threatening him into submission with a whip and makes him human again. 3^rd verse same as the rest skip this wake up scene! So the reporter is STILL talking to this guy and they’re just talking about a scene we already saw. The reporter shows up to Cameron’s house then loudly talks about his suspicions. Now he has to die! No he doesn’t, but another Doctor shows up. She congratulates Cameron so he might not die. Cameron goes crazy about how he can control evolution and be god. The doctor calls him crazy and hopes he will give up his crazy ideas. Okay time for him to die. He leaves with the wolfman apparently and a hunting party is set up to kill the werewolf. He changes into the werewolf and almost kills the doctor and makes the car tip over. I’m assuming the direction was “Stand there and look ‘scary’ at the camera”. The hunters find them and as the wolfman runs off they find out that the doctor was still alive. So they bring him back to Cameron’s house! This won’t end well for anyone. Lenora and reporter conclude that the gardener is the werewolf and he coincidently arrives at the exact same time! Then Cameron poisons the doctor as another skeptical doctor arrives! Jesus Christ it must be this guy’s lucky week! Lenora finds the lab and sees the wolfman! She screams, Cameron and the reporter arrive, reporter throws a chair, and lightning strikes some chemicals, causing a fire, wolfman kills Cameron, and the house burns down. ALL HAPPENIGN WITHIN LIKE TWO MAYBE THREE MINUTES! The End!

A bit of trivia, Glenn Strange, who plays the werewolf, would later take up the role of Frankenstein’s Monster in several of Universal’s movies (House of Frankenstein, House of Dracula, and Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein). The invention exchange is a Flaming Handbag for Joel and it’s dumb (how do you open it without it burning?). Dr. F’s is a fire-breathing dinosaur for realistic playtime. Also dumb. The next skit is Tom hitting on Joel’s blender…hilarious (Sadly you all can’t hear just how sarcastic I said that!). The next skit is them talking about how all the violence was implied and not shown. It’s decent. Not all that funny. Third skit is OH GOD! Joel switched Tom and Crow’s heads! Absolutely horrible! This movie sucked. The pacing and make up are bad, the story is contrived and coincidental, characters are idiots, and it feels slow as molasses for most of it and the end speeds through like a goddamn bullet! The riffs aren’t that funny either with less chuckles or laughs that the previous two. Robot Vs The Aztec Mummy was a worse movie, but this is the worse episode.

First the short. USA energy facilities are being destroyed by an unknown weapon. The head of federal security visits Commando Cody and his colleagues to get help with the investigation. Cody and crew have invented a “rocket suit” which Cody uses for his missions. It’s just the Rocketeer suit. Using the rocket suit, Cody thwarts a train sabotage and discovers a ray gun. Cody and crew speculate that the ray gun uses technology never before seen on Earth. They focus their attention on the moon, where ‘unusual amounts’ of atomic activity have been detected. Cody and crew take their rocket ship to the moon to investigate. Once on the moon, they find a hidden city, and Cody encounters Retik, Ruler of the Moon. Retik tells Cody about his plans to invade Earth. He also tells Cody about the element “lunarium,” which he will use to conquer the Earth. Cody fights the Moon men in an effort to escape, as Retik tries to disintegrate him with a ray gun blast. Will he survive? Tune in next time! Same Rocket time, same Rocket Channel!

Now the movie. This apparently the third movie in the franchise! Shocking I know. So the Doctor gives us a primer on what happened in the previous two movies. There are some legendary Aztec treasures and no one believed in them. So he hypnotized a girl so she would dream about her previous Aztec life. So the girl was a special maiden who had to stay a virgin, but she loved an Aztec warrior. So he was buried alive and cursed for eternity. So after using stock footage for like five minutes they finally say she was sacrificed, while wearing the sacred Aztec stuff. She then gets her heart cut out and the girl wakes up screaming and they thought she died. She got better and they look around the ruins as the play more stock footage. Jesus it already has more stock footage than a Godzilla movie! They reach the bottom of the temple and they find the girl’s former body with shockingly good lighting for being at the bottom of a burial tomb. They steal the golden breastplate and leave I guess. They forgot the bracelet though so they go back. CUE STOCK FOOTAGE! They find it, but like dumbasses they wake up the mummy of the warrior. Unsurprisingly if you shine a flashlight in its face it flips out and goes blind. They escape and cut back to the current time. So they proceed to shoot new foota- Wait I guess we can use more stock footage. Jesus Christ this movie is so lazy! Okay so the mummy came to his house to take the treasures back and kidnaps the girl. The mummy wants to sacrifice her to his god, but the others rush in to save her (By rush they mean walk at a somewhat brisk pace). Oh and standing perfectly still as the mummy finishes the prep for the sacrifice. Then the main scientist/narrator shoots the dagger out of the mummies hand. It starts to strangle him, but one of the guys shoves a cross in his face. So the power of Christ compels him? So after the doctor was saved by religion they untie the girl and flee without the other guy. They go start to go back for him, but he tosses a stick of dynamite in a nearby fire and kills himself to bury the mummy in rubble. Apparently there was an informant that was involved and escaped from prison, captured the Aztec future girl and the doctor’s daughter. Say it with me here this triggers another goddamn flashback! The doctor does a thing involving the mummy for the informant and instead of setting them free he tries to kill them for outliving their usefulness. Then the mummy swoops in to save them! Somehow! It pushes a guy and he breaks down and cries. Hilarious. Watch the mummy flip tables! Also hilarious. Then the mummy carries the informant off and throws him into a pit conveniently filled with rattlesnakes. Then he walks off with his crap. Some cops investigate the informant’s hideout and everything and everyone is gone! Apparently the informant survived rattlesnakes and got away in a secret compartment. Okay then they go back to real time then just jump cut to another flashback! This time it shows that the informant has psychic powers to make the other girl walk out to his car. He uses her to find the mummy and they drive off. They go to a graveyard and look for the mummy, but are held up by a Mexican grave keeper. Whom the informant’s bodyguard promptly knocks out. He was pointless. They find the grave with the mummy and they threaten to destroy the body. So apparently the guy who was pushed fell on some chemicals and burned his face. Cause science! He wants the stuff first, and then the guy can kill the mummy. Why doesn’t he just destroy him then take the stuff? They do realize they can’t fight him so they withdraw for the moment. So they bring the girl back to the house and…Wait…was that last scene just a flashback or no? It really did seem like one! They jump cut to the girl walking down the stairs to the house and they have breakfast! Was that last scene a flashback?! HOLY CRAP THAT WAS NEW FOOTAGE AND NOT JUST TAKEN FROM THE FIRST TWO! HALLELUJAH!!! So they come to the conclusion that the informant (now called the Bat) has taken over her body to find the mummy. They are right. So they analyze the mud on her slippers to find out where she was. Apparently they have to be discrete about it for some reason. They find out she did indeed go to the crypt! The good doctor goes to investigate and after two minutes of wandering aimlessly they are relieved to find that the treasures are still there. WAIT! THAT WAS STILL A FLASHBACK! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!    Uh…Okay then they reveal that Bat had stole a body and a brain. They doctor and some other guy goes searching for Bat’s hideout and its super scientific. The sneak in, but are caught by melt face guy. They are brought to Bat who explains his evil plan. Make a robot to fight the mummy and defeat him so he can take the artifacts for himself. A lighter and gasoline would be much easier. So Bat and the Robot leave to fight the mummy. Get ready to see the dull battle of the century! That lasts half a minute. The result is the mummy destroying the robot in a curb stomp battle and Bat being killed with melt face guy. Then the Aztec reincarnation just shows up! She tells the mummy to leave now and never come back.

The invention exchange is the Chalkman a record player that plays nails on a chalkboard. Joel’s is airbag helmet. Dull. Dr. Forester’s was better. The short is not my taste. Sure I love Campy Sci-Fi, but I don’t like the old serials. The sketches aren’t funny. A bunch of red fish bones called Demon Dogs attack the SOL and pee on them. This goes on for all the sketches. This movie sucks! It’s 80% stock footage and you only see the Robot for like the last ten minutes. This is like watching the series re-cap to a TV series you’ve never seen before. The robot effect is garbage as well. I shouldn’t have even been made. The riffs aren’t even that funny. Only a few jokes made me laugh out loud and only a bit more made me chuckle or smirk. Nothing makes sense! Don’t watch it!

The movie starts out on a mountain by showing us a bunch of guys climbing it.  Two of the guys are wearing turtlenecks…smart dressing at least they’ll be fashionable in death. Then suddenly one of the hikers freaks out, falls, and is dropped by the others when they saw that he had no head. Apparently he LOST HIS HEAD (Pun totally intended)! Okay so the credits role by with arrows pointing around at all the credits…as if we could miss the large text. Then we are introduced to a girl, her sister, and a dude. The younger sister looks at the mountain and she falls right in the dude’s lap. Then he gives her his flask. Not kidding. They get off on a different stop with the dude and they meet his friend. As they drive to a hotel the other guy offers them a cigarette and after they both decline he says he doesn’t smoke. Then why does he have them? They arrive and meet more Eye Creature foo- I MEAN characters. Okay the jump cuts are really noticeable. Almost as noticeable as a future notorious movie on the show. It will randomly cut back to the same scene when the dialog is done. The guy meets with a scientist and they talk about science, clouds, and the headless dude. This causes concern for the doctor, but not the other guy. The hikers rest for the night and bad thing they left the hotel, cause there’s’ a party going on! At this point I realized that the sister is psychic. She sees one of the hikers leave the cabin then faints. They call the fat hiker. He looks around for his friend and he opens the door to see the monster AND they cut away to the people trying to keep contact! That is how you build suspense! Then I think he dies…but the cloud moved away from the hut and towards them! *Lightning crash!* They go up to the hut to find the hikers leaving the girls alone with some other guy. The psychic sees the guys climb the mountain. They find the fat guy and he also lost his head. The sisters talk about how they’ll be leaving, but the psychic girl doesn’t want to leave. The girl flees and the guys get a helicopter for the body. They find a bag full of blood and I guess one of the hikers tries to attack them and kills two guys with a pickaxe! They arrive at the observatory and meet the Psychic girl there. The scientist concludes that the cloud has it’s own atmosphere because….I don’t know the Kool-Aid man is red. The murderous hiker comes back and he looks like he needs a good stiff drink. Not kidding that’s the first thing he asks for. They give him a cigarette and like the drink he’s too shaky to use it right. Quote from Joel, “What are they gonna do next? Make him drive a forklift?” Then he tries to kill psychic girl because reasons and he falls face first on a dog statue killing him! Turns out he has no blood! That explains why he couldn’t drink. Then he’s not dead I guess. He wakes up and strangles a guy walking past her room. Crazy Hiker – 3. Killer Eye – 2. He goes walking around with a cleaver as the non-psychic sister walks around and sees him. He tries to kill the psychic, but they shoot him. Then he melts! Like a Popsicle, he was frozen and now he’s a skeleton. Huh. To make things better they go up to the safe observatory, but one of them is smart and just drives off. Good thing they left cause the Crawling Eye reaches the place and we finally see it! Pretty good effect too! A Giant Brain with a single large eye and tentacles. And a kid is about to die! That would be incredibly ballsy for 1950’s, but they get away fine. So the cloud moves up with the eyes. That’s right multiple of them! They use Molotov Cocktails to kill/wound the eyes to stall until the air raids. They throw some, they light on fire, shot of airplane. For the next 4 minutes. So the air raid falls and the eyes die, but the people are unharmed. Okay that’s one tough observatory. Everyone’s happy and the psychic runs off with some guy.

The invention exchange was funny in Dr. Forester’s side. It was an injection to stop sweating by adding dog DNA to a human. They don’t sweat, but they start acting like dogs. Kind of funny side effect if you ask me. Joel’s was an electric bagpipe and those suck. The first skit sucks. It’s the bunch joking about the losing his head joke that the episode and I made. The robots don’t get human heads. The next skit is them extending Gypsy’s wire. Not funny. Third skit is taking about how the zombie dude is scarier than the CE. Just another confused skit about explaining the joke. Honestly the episode itself is funny enough and the movie isn’t that bad. Sadly this trend may hold for the rest of the season considering my distaste for it. The jokes were fine, but the movie was all right unlike a lot of junk on the show this one looks to have an actual budget. The jokes don’t fall flat most of the time, but I was laughing more at the beginning or middle. Joel and the bots narrating the scenes are kind of funny at times. The effects were fine and story went along smoothly. The problem was the previously mentioned cinematography and the pacing. They eyes are unseen for the whole movie and when they do they all die within 7 minutes. The episode was fine. Really lightens my spirit for the rest of the season.

Episode Rating – 5/10
