Episode 0618 - High School Big Shot


 


This web site requires use of the Macromedia Flash software for this feature.


 



Movie Summary


 Short: Out Of This World: 

The story: apocalyptic wager between an angel and one of Satan's devils. The battleground: the soul of a bread-truck driver. Hell's goal: to lure him away from carefully stacking bread. Even more evilly, the plan is to use the comely angel to accomplish this deed! It doesn't work, and Hell's banshees must shrieking flee; for never was there a man more dedicated to the delivery and effective display of bread, that holiest of food.


 Movie: High School Big Shot: 

The movie is the most depressing thing we've ever seen. Marvin is a high school loser with a depressive loser dad. To impress delinquent Betty and tempt her away from her delinquent boyfriend Vince, Marvin develops mob ties and master-minds a drug money heist. It all goes wrong. Betty and Vince are killed, Marvin is shot, and Dad hangs himself. (Not a bad decision, all in all.)

Host Segments


 Prologue: 

Mike has a bad headache. Servo plays the bagpipes, Crow plays the cymbals, Gypsy laughs hysterically about Kramer.

 Segment 1: 

With a chemistry set, Crow makes a concoction and has Servo, drink it. Servo gets big, and he's dumb. "Servo kill?" Frank clones DNA, and makes a cute little dinosaur that shreds Dr. F.

 Segment 2: 

Taking off on the short, Mike, Crow, and Servo stiffly explain their various "specialty breads." "You know, after watching that short, I've come to understand that with the limited shelf space available, I have to put more stock in specialty bread....Here's a specialty bread that's normal, except it comes to a sharp point."

 Segment 3: 

Crow and Servo speed past Mike in a car, and hit him with an omelet and hollandaise sauce. (Rather than eggs, get it?)

 Segment 4: 

Crow and Servo can't dynamite their way into Gypsy's diary. They try and try, destroying only themselves.

 Segment 5: 

While Mike reads a letter, the 'Bots have a chaotic water-pistol fight. Dr. F drops the chomping dinosaur into Frank's pants.

 Stinger: 

Big-faced man says something about "punks."


Reflections

I often wonder what it's like to have mob ties, and how you get them. Marvin makes it look easy. He somehow knows about a safecracker named Harry March, and he knows a liquor store owner's sister to whom Harry March is married. Marvin walks into the liquor store, talks kind of gruff, and hey, presto! He's in the mob.

If anybody reading this is in the mob, give me a call. I don't necessarily want to be "made," at least not right away. But it would be great if l could be photographed surreptitiously with one of you guys. Believe me, unless it were really important, I wouldn't even ask you for any favors.

Hey wait a minute, I may already have mob ties! Bridget's and Mary Jo's fathers both owned liquor stores. You gotta figure at least one of their sisters is married to a mob safecracker, like in the movie. (Neither Bridget nor Mary Jo are willing to verify this, which in itself raises suspicions.)

Most of our fans know about the tremendous work of toolmaster Jef Maynard. His little dinosaur in this show is one of my all-time favorite props. We told him we wanted something simultaneously cute and vicious, and boy Jef hit it right on the nose. It was such a great little creature.
