Movie Summary  Short: Commando Cody: Radar Men From The Moon: Chapter 9  Space men ride around the moon in a plywood moon tank. Cody saves the day yet again, because he didn't really die at the end of the previous chapter. The film breaks halfway in and the Mads appear in a still photo. Joel gets up out of his seat and walks back toward Cambot to investigate.  Movie: Robot Holocaust:  It's Fame meets The Road Warrior in this slow-moving non-action post-apocalyptic sci-fi bungle. In the future (after the Robot Rebellion of '33) the remnants of mankind are controlled by a mysterious force known as the Dark One. Referred to as Air Slaves, the humans are kept in check by the toxic atmosphere of "New Terra." A scientist has developed a way for humans to breathe the toxic air but is turned into an avocado and is killed. The Dark One leaves much of the heavy lifting to Tork, who looks like a cross between Miles Davis and a crawfish, and Valeria. Valeria makes Elmer Fudd sound like Sir John Gielgud as she spews out improbable lines like "Yoow and yoo dawta ar doowmed." — Mary Jo Pehl Host Segments  Prologue:  Joel does a blues riff as the 'Bots accompany him on harmonica.  Invention:  Joel finishes the blues song as the Mads call. Joel shows them the nitro-burning funny pipe which belches out flames. Dr. Erhardt is shown sporting a ski mask with articulated eyebrows to aid bank robbers. Dr. Forrester remotely operates the mask and then introduces the movie.  Segment 2:  Joel attempts to cross the "we" zone. 'Bots dressed in skins make him do a coin trick. Then the crazy duck face, and a handstand. Cheezy fake spfx.  Segment 3:  Cambot's Si-Com-Simulator is stuck producing hilarious laughter, and uproarious applause at the slightest quip or jest from the 'Bots and Joel.  Segment 4:  Joel, Tom, and Crow attempt to spoof the film by gadding about in furs and headgear. The fun fades when Crow and Joel learn that their costumes are real fur.  Segment 5:  A couple of pieces of fan mail are read. Viewers are invited to write in their names for the "avocado guy" from the film.  Stinger:  None. Reflections The 'Bots don't talk much in the first few segments. Crow's mouth control thread looks like a huge piece of wire. Valeria was the inspiration for Mike's Hexfield Viewscreen appearance in episode 0201 - Rocketship X-M. As for the movie, this was the newest film we had ever done. As refreshing as it was to finally do something in color, the film was numbingly erratic, claustrophobic, and incomprehensible. It left me wondering, ultimately, where does a woman get an exotic fur-and-skin bikini in the post-apocalyptic future? At the zoo? And if the future really is going to look like a Frank Frazetta painting, then let's you and I drive out to a nice place I know near the proving grounds out in the Utah desert, we'll pop a champagne cork and toast the hydrogen flash as the mushroom cloud arises, and drink lustily as we wait for the shock wave to rip the flesh off our bones.
