Movie Summary  Movie: Cave Dwellers:  Ator is the avenger, the guardian of knowledge and the hope of the future. Not in that loincloth, he's not. In this prehistoric-yet-somehow-1980's epic, Miles O'Keefe is the scantily clad hero of a people who have no dress code, and he must save them from the geometric nucleus that endangers world peace. His nemesis is an evil guy in a Cher wig. At one point in the film, Ator builds a hang glider with some sticks, skins, and twine, and hang-glides into a castle to rescue the wise old elder of the people. Big, blond Ator saves everything, but alas, he cannot marry his true love, the wise old man's daughter. He must fight evil wherever it occurs. He should start with his hair. — Kevin Murphy Host Segments  Prologue:  Gypsy, Crow, Servo, Joel, and Magic Voice discuss new names for themselves. Servo wishes to be called Sugar Magnolia.  Invention:  Joel demonstrates his smoking jacket-cuz smoking kills, but it's cool! Despite the Mike Douglas furniture and Frank's bid for the week's cohost, the Mads' experiment goes awry. They try out robotic arm wrestling.  Segment 2:  Joel, Crow, and Servo do a more lucid version of the opening credit sequence. Joel stars as "That Mean John Saxon-Type Guy" and Servo is "The Really Dull Old Guy."  Segment 3:  Joel explains that because of the incredibly low budget for the film, the filmmakers gave ordinary things elaborate names to punch up the whole deal.  Segment 4:  Joel demonstrates various sound effects with the help of everyday household items, like hamsters and coconuts.  Segment 5:  The Mads insist the movie wasn't that bad, and Crow shows some of the continuity problems in the movie.  Stinger:  Ator delivers the poignant line "Thong, the fish is ready" as Thong bats madly at fish. Reflections This show heralded the beginning of our lush three-season contract with Comedy Central—twenty-four shows a season, I might add. Boy, were we in the money. This meant that I no longer had to share an office with Trace, we could afford to keep soda pop in the fridge, we could afford to buy a fridge to put soda pop in, Mike Nelson got an office—well, not really an office, but he got to work out of the makeup room, which was actually a closet where the phone switching equipment was installed. As far as we were concerned, this was the lap of luxury. Yep, ridin' high. Life o'Riley, man. Kiss bye, lunch every day. Man, we had it made. — Kevin Murphy
