This web site requires use of the Macromedia Flash software for this feature.


 



Movie Summary


 Short: Commando Cody: Radar Men From The Moon: Chapter 1 

The government hires Commando Cody to fly to the moon and get the Moon Men to stop picking on us.


 Movie: The Robot Vs. The Aztec Mummy: 

A psychiatrist and his wife fritter with things they don't understand, unleashing the curse of Popoca, the dreaded Aztec mummy with the silly name. The mummy turns out to be an ally in their battle against the evil Dr. Krupp, an underworld criminal who, risking the deprecatory laughter of his fellow thugs, sometimes disguises himself as the Bat. The mummy ends up doing battle with Dr. Krupp's hopelessly overbuilt robot before the curse is lifted and he is allowed to get some sleep.

Reflections

With the kind of special effects we created for the Demon Dogs episode (e.g., Enoch, the ball being shot out at the end), Industrial Light & Magic must have felt our presence nipping at their heels. The overall look of the show gives the impression of a just-above-average cable access program. We remain true to that today.

We were still experimenting with the movie comments and we look back with embarrassment at two particular gags. One involved Joel covering the mouth of a woman singing and the singing being muted. The other, even more shameful, was adding the sound of men, ahem, urinating when there was a shot of them with their backs turned. Both broke the rules of the show and both were quite stupid. We're really very sorry.
