Movie Summary  Movie: City Limits:  City Limits features James Earl Jones at a low point in his career and Kim Cattrall at the high point of her career. Adults in this post-apocalyptic world have been killed off by the plague, leaving only a population of young adult orphans called the Clippers. The Clippers band together and scavenge for survival in this brutal, art-directed urban society. Another group, called the Outsiders, tries to wrest control of the city and will stop at nothing, even the use of guns. The Outsiders are led by Robby Benson, in the role of a lifetime. Meanwhile, government representative Kim Cattrall wants to restore all essential services to the city, and falls in love with one of the Clippers. Stuff happens but nonetheless this is a boldly plotless movie. However, all ends well when Robby Benson is killed by a desk. — Mary Jo Pehl Host Segments  Prologue:  Tom and Crow drop a load of Ping-Pong balls on Joel, an homage to Mister Moose and Captain Kangaroo. Joel is not amused. I don't think he like Mister Moose.  Invention:  The SOL shows you how to make a Mr. Meat and Potatoes Head, a fun friend, out of leftover meat. The Mads invent the Tupperware container to keep stale pop star Morrissey fresh (played by Michael J. Nelson).  Segment 2:  Crow sings an ode to Kim Cattrall titled oddly enough "Kim Cattrall," and presents a short scene from Mannequin with the help of Joel, Servo, and Gypsy.  Segment 3:  Servo and Crow pore over their comic book collection, and come up with their own superheroes like Man Man! Elbow Man! The Human Dog! The Pheasant Plucker's Son! The Black Nun (none of the White stuff, all black)! And the awesome power of Absorbine Senior!  Segment 4:  Crow, Servo, and Joel dream up more superheroes, such as Twelve Step Man! Girl Who Smells Like Soda Crackers! And Super Fanny Brice!  Segment 5:  The gang plays the City Limits trivia game, one of the many promotional items for the movie's release, but no one can remember anything from the movie. In Deep 13, Morrissey sniffs Dr. Forrester and asks if he has mentioned that he cries.  Stinger:  Bad guy screams like a little baby as the tower he's in explodes. Reflections With this film, thus began Crow's affaire de coeur with Kim Cattrall. Kim sent Trace some flowers, but actually we knew they were for Crow. Kim has never had any time for Trace. In fact, I remember one time when she was sharing a table with Crow at the bar in the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills. I overheard her say, "Lose the blond beanpole, he's a stunning bore." Oh, she'll deny it, but there's something about Crow's way that moved young Kim. The way the light catches his web. The reflection of the pale moon in his big green eyeballs. Or perhaps the way his jaw goes crooked, and his coy smile as he slips into his Sammy impression. I noticed that Kim visibly shuddered in her seat when Crow said "Ka-chonk, ka-chonk, Egyptian." — Kevin Murphy
