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


 



Movie Summary


 Short: Commando Cody: Radar Men From The Moon: Chapter 6 

Invaders from the Moon hire cheap thugs to cause volcanic disturbances to soften up Earth for a full-scale invasion.


 Movie: The Slime People: 

Icky subterranean crustacean people invade Los Angeles. Instead of just assimilating and getting movie contracts, they build a wall of fog that solidifies into a dome and begin killing people. A scientist and his two daughters meet a sportscaster and a marine who then pair off and get all kissy-face while trying to figure a way to break the Slime People's dome. The solution turns out to be ordinary table salt, which is great, because it's cheap and plentiful. As it turns out, they destroy the machine that creates the dome and allow the military to mop up.

Host Segments

Joel bakes a diode pie, but Gypsy eats half of it while it cools in the window.

None.


Reflections

Though we ended up hating Commando Cody, it was fresh to us in those days and the writing team began laughing to distraction when Cody's partner hid in the bushes and someone said, "I'm a little fuzzy rabbit, come and find me. I'm so naughty." Well...it was funny, and you have to remember it was a very small room with almost no ventilation. As for The Slime People, funny as it was, I wish we could do it again with a full staff of writers—it is a perfect movie for us!

It's interesting to note that the silhouettes were green on this particular show. This was because certain people at the Comedy Channel felt that audiences just wouldn't get what was going on and they needed to have their eyes drawn to the silhouettes to figure it out. It looks really stupid.
