Movie Summary


 Movie: Alien From L.A.: 

This one features supermodel Kathy Ireland and her very squeaky voice. She plays shy Wanda; her mom is dead and her dad is off in Africa, exploring. Dad falls down a hole into a subterranean alien world called Atlantis, where everybody's Australian and works in mining and related industries. Wanda heads off to rescue Dad, held captive by the Nixonish Atlantis government. She succeeds and brings Dad home. Having overcome her shy awkwardness, she starts wearing bikinis, causing her old boyfriend to try to make up. Craven fool! The new, slinky Wanda desires "Charmin'," a dude she met in Atlantis. Charmin' surfaces and finds her on the beach. We're left to imagine Wanda's forthcoming squeaky ecstasy.

Host Segments


 Prologue: 

Crow is a drill sergeant, and he makes Mike field-strip Tom Servo. "I'm Drill Sergeant Crow T. Robot, or sir, to you toilet-mater-guzzling little mama's boys!!"

 Invention: 

The Mads show off their Vend-A-Gut, a vending machine for donor organs. Dr. F has removed Frank's liver for the demonstration, but Frank's new liver gets stuck against the glass inside the machine. Mike and crew milk their fridge with Fridge Udders. The 'Bots get excited about the word "teats."

 Segment 2: 

The 'Bots try to think of a model, someone real cute they've seen in catalogues in her underwear. Mike tries to help figure out who it is. (It's Clara Peller, the "where's the beef" lady.)

 Segment 3: 

The lilting love song, "My Wild Irish Ireland."

 Segment 4: 

Crow and Servo present the Kathy Ireland Fabulous Range of Emotions Acting Guessing Game. ("By Hasbro-bro"). Her thespian reaction to any situation: dull surprise.

 Segment 5: 

A letter is chock-full of questions on the SOL. "Who do you work for, man?" cries Servo. Frank, who's starting to really need a liver, is trying to insert $250,000 in quarters in the Vend-A-Gut. Dr. F. confuses him and he has to start over.

 Stinger: 

Kathy Ireland says, "Yuk!"


Reflections

The end credits last for about forty-five minutes, so we had to come up with some way to get through them. Our solution was to stage a battle between Crow and Mike, wherein they accuse each other of being totally into femmy movies, like Fried Green Tomatoes and Men Don't Leave. It started out as a genuine battle in the writing room between Frank and Mike.

The movie's central thesis is the existence of a race of ancient Australians living secretly underground in Africa. I accept this as plausible. Parts of Africa are pretty under-populated and also chaotic, so who would notice the occasional Australian popping up like a prairie dog? But they lose me with the idea that these Australians originally came from outer space. What does that say about those other Australians, the ones living on that big island? Are we supposed to accept that two planets gave rise simultaneously to identical Australians? As one who believes in a Grand Design, I've got to ask: What would be the point? We've already got Australians. Why does some other planet need them too? Are there Australians scattered throughout the universe? I hope not!
