Movie Summary  Short: Cheating:  Johnny learns about the dark world that engulfs you when you cheat.  Movie: The Wild World Of Batwoman:  1966, black and white, directed by Jerry Warren. Retitled after a lawsuit to She Was a Hippie Vampire, there is nothing "wild" about this film. Batwoman looks more like a badger than a bat. Lots of scenes of women in swim suits. Talky scenes that go and on. A scenery-chewing mad scientist and his over-the-top facial contortionist of an assistant. Scenes lifted from old Mexican wrestling movies and The Mole People. Not the tiniest scrap of plot to be had. Bruno Vesota fleshes out the cast. — Trace Beaulieu Host Segments  Prologue:  Mike is dealing blackjack to Crow and Tom Servo. Gypsy is Tom's beautiful Las Vegas arm candy.  Invention:  Upon our return we find a humongous pile of cards in front of Crow. Crow wants to double down. Frank demonstrates his Atomic Powered Hair Dryer on Dr. Forrester. The result is a towering mushroom cloud of hair atop Dr. F's head. Mike and his two cyberpals demo the Razor Back, a back shaving system for people with really hairy backs. A primping Dr. Forrester introduces the experiment , a short on cheating called Cheating and our feature presentation.  Segment 2:  Mike, Tom, and Gypsy discuss the short on cheating. Crow is off in his own little world as usual. Mike proposes that they answer the questions that the short proposed in their own personal essay.  Segment 3:  The 'Bots read their essays on cheating. Tom's goes on and on for several volumes. Gypsy reads, then Crow. Crow's essay is word for word exactly like Gypsy's. "What are the chances of that happening?"  Segment 4:  A meeting is held on the SOL to decide what should be done about Crow's cheating.  Segment 5:  Crow is given a chance to deliver a statement whereupon he forgives himself for cheating. Frank runs screaming from Deep 13 after witnessing the horror that is Dr. Forrester's new hair.  Stinger:  A thug gets bitten by a young woman. Reflections This movie, this movie... Whew! This was one of those films people either loved or hated. What a mess. If you can picture basic training. The excercise where soldiers enter a building full of tear gas and are ordered to remove their gas masks. That should give you an image of the kind of pain that this film created in the writing room. Maybe it's just me. I could be wrong. This film hurt. I think it hurt others as well. I think it will go on hurting until it is stopped. We take no small amount of pride, however, in the fact that the movies that hurt us the most are inevitably the ones that our dear, sweet, loyal fans get the most satisfaction from. I hope this one is as enjoyable to watch as it was painful to riff on. Please remember: Do not expose to human tissue at temperatures over 72 degrees F. — Trace Beaulieu
